Spotted lots of nice racing Porsche's today in a workshop in Melbourne :) Including a nice Black 4wd 540HP twin Turbo GT2 race car mmmmmmmmmm

DELUXE would have seen a few last weekend to Sandown. Did you get a chance to see the Aston Darren before Johny had a hissy fit and left early?

Plenty of nice Skylines in Melbourne.

Yeh dude that Aston was killa, as well as a silver Ferrari, and sooooo many Porsches were out there also, you can definatly tell they have more cash than us over here....... When we went over we were sharing a pit wall shed with a GT40, some old chilla steering it, Theres us with a rx7, 808 and Celica, and then a GT40, was amusing!!!

delux lookin tough in the city last night

Hmmmm Was that Friday night? Must have been!!!

Edited by Deluxe

spotted a 4door one of these today

he said it had a L series engine was running a turbo also lights went green so didnt have heaps long to chat but was a silver colour and had just been restored

I was pissed i missed out on the round. On friday i was down in the Auto-Art Porsche teams workshop. They had half the Porsches that were competing in there, the Locon 911 Turbo was very nice. Teds Ferrari 360NGT is an awesome car although i think he spent more money in the engine bay lining than what my car cost!!

Spotted a black 32 GTST with LED rear lights and and 34 GTT (look alike) rear spoiler on it on sturt rd heading into marion today.

Yeh dude thats the one......... They even had another one out the back of the pits that had damaged drivers side brake lights, that would be expensive to fix......LOL

Looks like i might be going over again but to Phillip Island for another one of their rounds, Love that track, so much better than any other purpose built track! We've got our next round of the state series coming up in a few eeks, It's just not gonna feel the same....LOL

Thought i'd do a driveby past boostworx on the way home and saw a white 33 GTR going up boothby ave or street or whatever it is, went round the round about then stopped at boostworx as i kept going past. Flashed high beemers and got the thumbs up, tough looking car. Also a silver/grey 180sx stopped there just before the 33, also looked nice.

    • 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.
