Another good night all, great to see everyone again.

Congrats to Madam Lush's Sex Kittens, taking first prize tonight! Well done!

Also worth an honourable mention, was the little battler, Aussie Bob! Coming in a solid last, but we'll be back next week! Can only go up from here!

Thanks to all. Was definately another great night.congrats to our winners the Sexy Kittens and their leader Miss Lush. To our second team, my deepest condolences (a prolonged and painfull death) of which I was a part of.

C U all on Sunday and remember Drive responsibly.

Alcohol is a tool of the devil ...

Richard is a tool when deciding fit to drive home last night. Nearly meet Devil in person!!!

Skid marks not left on road, found this morning tho. Now in laundry basket.

I hope I have taught a visualy valuble lesson. I certainly learned one.

PS. Wings on Skylines are not designed for flying.

Richard - I read in "Spotted" a brief mention of your accident and have come searching here for more details! Its really scary to think about what can happen (EVLR34)... Im glad your ok and I hope one of Australias sexiest GTR's is going to be alright???

As I lie here in casualty typing with the toes off my remaining leg.

Nahhhh!!!. All is good with me and my ride as far as I can tell but will get Ed and Chris down at inline to double check with me. Bodywork appears fine.

I understand from Andrew it was most spectacular.

He will need to post the details as I couldnt see from the ****pit.

I do remember snapping back a gear exiting the roundabout ,loosing it, getting airborne (twice i think) and spinning round before comming to a stop on the otherside of the medium strip. Then left in a hurry. Andrew?

i agree with nick, if you want to know the details either pm me or ask me on sunday, i have photos of the aftermath.

but for the record heres what happened..........we enjoyed a splendid evening of refreshing beverages and jolly banter and some delightfull company, after the barmaster had decided that the time had come to close for the evening he suggested that perhaps it was a good time to part company for the evening, we happily agreed and exited the delightfull establishment singing christmas carols as we were heading to the local orphanage to pass out gifts to the children, Richard was the first to depart, he left in a calm and orderly manner while we stood chatting about the wonderfull evening that we had just enjoyed, he then turned through the round about going at a slow pace so as not to take any risks that may involve damage to his lovely vehicle that could include the nescessary revulcanising of his airfilled transport wheels. he then slowly proceeded up the road all the while whistling a happy tune, and he then dissapeared over the hill and on his merry way.......................thats my story and im sticking with it!

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
