Well on Saturday I rocked up for the Barnes High Performance dyno day. First of all a big thanks to Barnesy for putting this on. Guys it was totally free. He has a proper dyno dynamics dyno that is calibrated properly plus he really knows what he's doing.

Seeing my car is stock as a rock apart from a custom cat back exhaust and a slightly modified airbox I was pretty stoked when I pulled 151rwkw (will post up graph at work, cost me $25 for the printout). Some other Skylines only got 120-130rwkw which is what I was expecting.

Overall it was a great day, Barnesy had heaps of commentry, tips and suggestions that weren't bullshit - plus he went from 9-5pm. I think they got through close to 100 cars. A big effort and apparently he has one every 6 months.

But the best part was he got our local member for parliment there dynoed his car and put a really good spin on the whole thing. He is pushing for a circuit and skidpan on the coast. He encouraged good behaviour and even the local commodore wankers did the right thing. Hopefully it will mean a motorsport complex in years to come.

Guys on the coast - drop by and have a yarn to him he is honest and knows turbo cars.

Damn :Owned:

Heheheh. I reckon all that yellow space saver rice power gave me at least 20rwkw :)

Actually I did it with my new 17" rims with, wait for it.......................................... Genuine, real, new rubber.

Damn I didn't know what hit me. As soon as I got new tyres I instantly loss 30kw. It's only in the wet that I now make up that power

Speaking of which I should have that video ready soon. Includes space saver action.

      Import insurance in 2025

      from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
