So the 30K was her quote to fix.

they disputed it and had them do cheaper repairs on some areas than she wanted to get the cost down.

know she wasn't happy with the first time getting it back, and then issues after they attempted to fix that, not sure where it at now however.

Bit of both

It's a visitor space he's parking in (even though he's a permanent visitor; his girlfriend lives in the complex) and the guy in the visitor space next to him is parked a fair way over too. His car is simply too big for the limited space left for him. If I wasn't hugged up against the other side of my space to keep my distance from the visitor cars (clearly this is working) then his oversized hipster douchebag utility wouldn't even get in there.

My black car doesn't move so I don't care about him blocking me in, but I've seen the way this kid drives, like a fkin retard, and I don't like it, or seeing him park this close to my car. I don't believe someone is guiding him in and it's only a matter of time before he hits a car down there.

WWDD - What would Dezz do - do that

Barry believes it, with E85. RB26s with 98 make about 340-350 with GT-SS.

It's pretty unlikely but you sha'll find out in time, we built a RPM 2.8 with -9s and it made 360kw on E85. I think it could have been pushed harder than that for sure with the right fuel setup and exhaust.. but 400.. pretty unlikely with those turbos without straining them.

Interesting

Steve 34R aka R8TED only made 317kw on the racepace dyno on e85 and -9's. Not sure what the norm is, maybe Matt Borci will throw in his 2 cents

Must be thinking of someone else, Steve's never been to Racepace. I remember he did make like 235kw when he switched to E85 and a tune he was telling me at Sandown last time I was there... was hard to hold back the chuckles at less than stock 98 power with Ethanol...

That might be Hamish's racepace dyno theory coming into play

Previous owner of GTR dynoed it with the GT-SS and said he got about 350awkw - could easily have been full of shit but even close to that I can see another 50kw from another 400cc and E85.

In any case I'm not too worried - I have no doubts I'll end up with -5s down the track but definitely wanna see what the small turbos can do in the low and midrange with the big engine. I think it'll be linear like standard XR6 turbos, only with a bucketload more pull.

Also when you say "we built" you really don't need to call it an "RPM 2.8" lol

They can throw a pair of turbos on any old 2.8 that rolls in the door, the RPM 2.8 is a specific base build so we at least know what mods have been done to make it a 2.8, if its been ported, etc

My bad he just mentioned racepace in his comments.

    • 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
