GT -and- single speed, he posted 2 different bikes :P

The Edinburgh bike has a flip flop hub, and right now it's running singlespeed. Gear ration of 38/18 from memory. It's such an awesome bike to ride! Nice gear ratio in terms of a top speed / hill climb compromise.

Crispy, do you have any pics / details of your felt bike?

06 or 07 Q620 - $70, score :D

Seems to have the 07 gusseting around the head stem, but 06 stickers and spec eg. RST Gila fork.

Spend some time pulling of reflectors and other silly plastic shit, ordered some red lock on grips from the US.

A guy I ride with occasionally at the track had a custom road pushie made up for him, some European brand I'm trying like crazy to remember. Anyway when he was getting it made he said he wanted it to be the same orange as the Gallardo. He gets a paint bill for $3000 and asks what the? Turns out they sent the frame to the Lamborghini factory to be painted in the same paint as the Gallardo. Lamborghini even painted it twice because they weren't content with the first time.

The whole bike cost him over $20k. Then he had a motocross accident and can't ride it any more anyway, lol, oh well! Clearly the man has too much time and money on his hands :dry:

David and Cammys in boxhill is where I usually go for dumplings

that place always has a lot of people eating in there.. always wanted to try it.

I might pop in there one night this week for dinner

lol, I know, well it was being built in Europe anyway... but that's the thing, completely ridiculous. 'Sif colour /matching/ would have been enough :P It was this guys divorce present to himself. :thumbsup:

I don't think you'd ever want most people cars on club reg, too much headache.

Given its two years til r32s become eligible, now is probably a good time for SAU to sign up with only a handful of people wanting club reg, easier for the club to come up to speed with all the requirements.

my car is a 1993, thats another 6yrs to go to 25 O_o

I dont think the car will be moving still in 6yrs time haha

(note to future self who digs up this thread in 6yrs time, the r32 made it!)

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
