Got to the pieshop late via bowral but was good to catch up with Terry and Matt

any word on how much was raised?

$502 from the 1st page iirc.....

Are the front rotors 36mm thick? Can the calipers support that wide of a disc? If you dont mind me asking, where did you source them?

I only ask as i am upgrading my brake very shortly and am weighing up my options.

I can find out for you Damo but don't know for sure. Calipers and discs are pretty well matched to each other I think.

Love the new sig pic mate! :yes::thumbsup:

Was great to see my old beast again even though it is ages since I've driven it, owning it for five years does funny things, it was cool and weird at the same time watching you in my rear view on the way back down the pass; was like I was watching someone else driving my car, haha

Thanks for the photos all; was a great day. Loved looking in my mirrors to see so many cool cars lined up behind.

And Matt, was a pleasure having you scream past at full throttle as we hit the 110 zone coming out of Heathcote :D

Id be interested to find out.

Haha cheers. The car needed a good run!

Thanks to all for coming out and digging deep. Really sorry to the guys we missed at the bottom, learnt some lessons for next time.

Yeah pity we didn't catch anyone at the school, Dave and I drove past it a few times though (sounds a bit dodgy... :P) and didn't see anyone there. Next time I guess we will announce an actual time to arrive at Albion Park and hang around a bit longer. All considered, the day went really well though I thought.

Pretty hard to set a time considering for traffic and no real place to park for very long there at Albion.

Next time we may choose the train station or something to be able to hang around a bit longer. I just didn't want us to get cited for parking along side the road if someone came along.

Also having a leader/contact at Albion would be a good idea.

Lessons learned. Thanks for understanding folks.

Nah Eric I think we always park next to the school (opposite the servo) and haven't ever had a problem with parking there for half an hour or more.

Guess we will sort this out for next time

Hope no parking inspectors are reading this thread Matty because those 2 white weapons dont look like buses to me! haha! :P BTW your photos are amazing! Id love to get you to do a shoot on my car someday if you're available? :worship:

Thought someone might ask Mick... look closer at the sign mate...

Might not be able to make it out on that resolution but it says "School days only" :D

Thanks mate, I'm just a hack but would love to have a go sometime when I'm next up the Mountains.

Can the couple who were enquiring about a V-Spec II yesterday please email me on

[email protected] ???

Meanwhile, I'm very much enjoying the pics.

The BMW respectably followed a GT-R all the way up the mountainside > no slipping either

hey Terry...dats me..yep will email u soon..cheers

The first post said that you would stop at Albion Park at 13:00. We got there at 12:58 (as we were late to Kirrawee). Buy the time I found the right contact number to see where you guys were, it was 13:30....so we took off for the pie shop. Kept well below speed limit as it was the first time driving the car. But I will definitely be doing the mac pass run again.

Things don't always go to plan - but it's all good as it was for a good cause. :) Maybe nxtime ;)

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
