to the knob head in the gun metal 32 driving from Golden grove road onto the grove way (semi sideways) then right onto Atlantis drive, you are a Di@k head. If i had a bull bar on my car i would have followed you and made sure you wouldn't do it again. if you are on here pull your head in you make it worse for the people who drive these cars and respect the rules.

end rant

^^^ so true. Who on earth go would and sit by the side of the road in one spot to see a pack of cyclists whiz past you, and that is it? Sounds like the definition of boredom to me. And 757k? That is more than half the population of SA - I don't know a single person who went for a look, so by those odds I would say very incorrect. And how on earth would they even come up with that number?

Andrew- the calculation is: 757,000 divided by the number of days it ran for = the number of people per day that had their time wasted by "who dares to use the newest drug wins"

assuming it was the same people that attended every day, the divided number is the true number

Don't you just hate it when you swap out a non working dash cluster for the new one only to forget to change the LED globes out from the old to the new....

It dawned on me just as I was tightening the final screw.... Doh :/

Walked out the door, took photos , walked back in , downloaded to laptop 3times for stage 5 lol then published to adlelaide now and a few other spots

Actually the beach front had a lot more people this year compared to the past 3

Would anyone be interested in putting their skyline/stagea into a free car display at Virginia on 14 April?

There is a market happening there from 10-2pm and they'd like to have 10-12 skylines on display.

;)

12 cars means you could get a coupe sedan and gtr of every generation.... which would be a good display

    • Because there is still an engine underneath that turbo. PSI is not a measurement of power, it's a byproduct of resistance. What would be really decent is to have a CFM gauge on the output of a turbo to see how much it's actually pushing. 21psi (as an example) is not the same amount of air at 3000rpm as it is at 7000rpm, even if the boost controller is controlling boost at "21psi". The engine is inhaling and exhaling way more air at 7000 than at 3000, even if it's less efficient.
    • don't want anything more or less, I don't really understand why the torque still goes up to 6000-6500, while the boost peak is around 4000. if it only comes from the cams or from the boost controller etc.  
    • I'm not sure you understand the physics of what you are asking. Can you draw on the dyno graph what you want to have happen? I'm thinking this is a functional impossibility here, unless you chose a turbo literally so laggy that torque is at max at 7000rpm and artificially choked prior to that. Power and Torque are intrinsically linked. Power is just Torque over time. What you're really seeing in the torque graph is "Power per RPM" if that makes any sense whatsoever. You still get more power at 7000rpm than 5000rpm, because it is "power per RPM" and you have more RPM. at 7000 than you do at 5000. You still feel more powerful at 7000rpm. The torque graph will influence the rate of power increase per RPM.
    • Welcome!  If possible,  would live to see some pics. How long was it away getting the work done? Hopefully it feels like a new machine.
    • yes indeed the graphic format makes a visual difference but there is on average 120nm more between 4000 and 6000rpm on the curves it is not nothing. you are right, the cams influence the torque curve. I was able to chat with one of the Hypergear tuners, he confirmed that a boost control allows you to manage the pressure after the spool. the absolute pressure (psi) on the graphics is measured where? It seems that the cams affect the maximum pressure depending on the regime but I may be wrong.   not pleasant to drive before 4000? if we spend our lives between 1000 and 3000 rpm as you say then we might as well just run diesel turbos
