Mate of mine had a 200ZR stroked out to 2.3L with external gate, the thing was a monster. Have a video of it on the dyno somewhere.
Not many of this series of Z getting around, nice work!

I had the 6cyl in a 2006 Liberty H6 spec B wagon. Had it retuned which transformed the car, eliminated the flat spot, picked up a fair bit of 0-100 etc. Fuel economy improved also.
Spun a big end bearing around 50-100,000km later, as they love...

Man I love the Cosmo. Beautiful cars.

[Ribfeast]

Yeah there is one being built in the Newcastle/Hunter Valley region apparently....

[Ribfeast]

Wow that thing is wicked!

[Ribfeast]

They keep asking for more stuff. Have sent them drivers license, bank statements, mortgage statement, payslips, ATO notice of assessment etc. Has me worried. Guess I'll find out soon. If it falls through I'll be devastated.
Main issue is nopics...

Gives a 3banger a whole new meaning....

I thought a Sahara was around $130k?

[Ribfeast]

Pay cash for snow trips I'd say. Don't leave a digital trail. Tolls would be trickier.

[Ribfeast]

Wonder if they could include a supercapacitor in their battery pack to assist with that initial power surge required from the battery. Or is the limitation in the motor/inverter side of things...

Have been filling up the CLK240 with 98, then 95, and yesterday filled it up with E10. I do around 600km a week, so no worries about it going stale. Couldn't notice any performance difference after fillup, but it only has 125kw anyway lol

[Ribfeast]

The not needing any verification thing is reassuring, as pretty much all of nopix income is cash these days. I could probably just divide all the bills by 2 and apply them to my salary which would be a fairer way to represent it to them. Have been...

[Ribfeast]

Yeah Pepper 2.9%
I believe you can pay it off early with them vs Macquarie....

[Ribfeast]

Cheers
Just hoping my finance doesn't get rejected with nopix not working, fingers crossed. Submitted the application a few minutes ago.
Accel boost will definitely be an early purchase

[Ribfeast]

Oooh that might be of interest, I love to tinker
Just ordered a Tesla model 3 LR :D Very excited!!

I'm looking at the Fronius Wattpilot. Not sure if it is available in Australia, so I might do a dodgy and import one. Around 620 pounds, so approx $1150 AUD. I have Fronius for everything else, so the Wattpilot sits on the wifi and talks to the Fronius...

Three phase. 12.5kW inverter and a 5kW inverter. If I change energy suppliers I can remove the 10kW export limiter and pump out the full 17.5kW.
The meter nets it out anyway, ie if you pull 10kW from phase 1, and export 5kW on phase 2 and 5kW...

[Ribfeast]

Hmm appears that the single phase limitation is the UMC itself. Still, that gets me 50km range per hour @7kw, 20% to 80% in 6 hours, and also means I'm unlikely to draw from the grid at all if charging during a summer day (20kW solar, 10kW export limited...

Nopix seems to be surprisingly OK with me spending the dosh in principle, just gotta wait for our council DA to go through tomorrow night so we can ramp up our home business, and a successful vet check of our horse for sale on Wednesday.
Can't...

[Ribfeast]

Really? That makes the LR an even bigger sell for me, is there a way to order it now, and get the post-september price? ie have it reserved at the yard ready for a Sep pickup?...
