R31Nismoid:  See above.  I think you're getting confused with nitrous oxide's tendency to reduce inlet temps.  It does quite the opposite to the exhaust gases, increasing them dramatically.

I'm wondering how the exhaust wheel is holding up too but now it doesn't really concern me as I have achieved what I set out to with it :rant:

thanks :rant:

I wasnt confused, just didnt know what it was like on the 'out' as opposed to the 'in' (which i know) :cheers:

You must have one freak of a turbo! :rant:

You must have one freak of a turbo!

I can't see why?!?! It gets operated at 1.0 bar for 11 seconds (if that) at hotter than normal temps and then has plenty of time to cool down. It makes no more power without gas than any other std turbo running at this boost level (195kw) so I guess I'm just lucky.

LOL brett hasnt hired you for launchin classes yet ? : Þ

No cos he knows i'm an arsey prick! lol .... I might never be able to manage a 1.6 again. More gas and 1.7's though.....there's a thing :rant:

Thanks for the reply!

Certainly am... I didn't think it was possible for the GTST's to get under a 1.8 60ft time without slicks! :D

As said before - well done and a great time!

So is there anything else coming on the car (more NOS perhaps)? :D

Cheers,

matt

There. Happy now? :D

Yeah, true point.

I guess as long as you give it ample time to cool and dont go back out for another quick successive run it probably would last a while!

Congrats on the times adrian :)

it's good to see someone's taking a different approach than most! and big congrats on the 60 footer, 1.6's on a street car is awesome :)

it'll be interesting to see how the bottom end holds out with some increasingly bigger shots :)

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
