wow good day for spotting skylines, too many to list today!

Few to point out.. black 32 with plates 'billybob' or the like at bp on nth east road (think thats the road, where redline is).. and purple 33 with gold rims just down the road a few seconds later.

Pretty sure it was 'redgtst' i think is his user name, red/maroon 33 with gtr wing, was out at air last week. Not sure if ya saw me give ya a wave as u turned off. Was trying to figure out if it was u or not until saw the sticker from air prac on ya window

Bout half hour ago, bout 10ish on hindley street a silver 34 bootin it! Tried to catch up but kept catchin all the damn lights

Met up with Vange the other day Darren, he's just busy with his new job. Finally got his car back though! :(

Yeh he got his car back a while ago now, BUT what he has a new job?? Did he get sick of working with the old boy? or is it a second job?

No, not a second job. He left his old man and has now joined another business, something to do with telemarketing; it's still all in it's initial phases and being set up. To be honest, he'd be able to tell you more than I would :(

I saw Vange at Boostworx today. Introduced myself and said hello.

Spotted SERTY-1 on Jetty Rd yesterday around 3:30pm. I didn't wave as I was in my Peugeot and you'd probably wonder who-da-f**k was waving at you.

Saw a blue 4 door R32 pull out of the washing bay next to me at Woodcroft today. Didn't know you were there until you left. Your exhaust must be too quiet :domokun:

That's the one, although the colour is a dark green. My passenger commented on the boost from the lights. I just wound the window down to hear it better.

    • Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.
    • Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D? 
    • I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
