Fishpaste~

well... Stuff has come up and i wont be able to get to villis tonight, and ontop of that i'll be away in Melbourne next weekend from thursday to monday =\ but my biggest problem is that i have no where near the amount of hoodies ordered that i had EOI for!!! this is a big issue as pricing was based on a certain number of orders and we are only about 1/3 of the way there... (yeah, i know who alot of you are that posted in the previous thread but haven't ordered!!!) so i've decided to leave this open until we get a suitable number of orders, this will allow time for people to get me the money and hopfully for more of you to place your order! for those intending to order/pay for their hoodie at the SAUSA dinner i'll see if i can arrange something with Matty T

i'll be there round 7:30 ish =)

stock actually!! tryed low balling mitch for his a while back =D

oooo... fabrication of sump extension almost complete, short block almost complete!!! =D just need to sell my PFC, anyone?

did you need a reply to the PM Abe?? =P and yeah, i'll be at villis on friday (but not for very long). BTW thanks ruby for helping krishy/me out!!

my car wasen't that badly damaged from it, infact there were 2 sets of trafic lights inbetween where i think it happened and when we discovered something was wrong. there was no drop in oil pressure, tho thinking back, it felt like there was slight a drop in power. basically everything seemed fine, and it was when i was building up the revs to take off at the 2nd set of lights that we heard the knocking! i still limped the car around for a month and a bit after it had happened (had other work being done to the car) but when the damage was finally inspected the bearing had only slightly lifted, no visible marks on the crank tho it had hairline fractures and was 0.6 thou out of alignment from memory. who knows if it would have happened with warm oil or not, also the oil was almost 5,000km old (i had just purchased 8l of motul 300v for a change - that i still have in my shed XD). But the core of the problem was that oil flow was serverly restricted and the car hit limiter. Perhaps i could have payed better atention and not bashed limiter but the fact remains that the oil flow was blocked and it would have happened sooner or later! also, since my car i know of 1 other car that has lifted a bearing because the same genuine nissan part failed and blocked their oil flow (and it was a 34)! im not saying it's a common problem and hopefully no one else here will suffer from it ever, but it's another oil problem and not one most people know of!

no probs... car was moving and in 2nd, went to change to 3rd but it didn't go into gear, i thought it was in gear and went to accelerate as normal... problem!! try it yourself if your game, drive in 2nd till your just starting to make boost (engine is under positive pressure), throw it into neutral and accelerate like your changing into 3rd and continuing to increase your speed - u might be shocked at how quick the car will fly threw the revs! and when u've got passangers your chatting to, that spit second of 'hey, whats happening here?' is disasterous!!

perhaps you should read it again?? this time look at all the words! btw, sorry this is OT Adrian... free bumps? =P

It's all heslo's fault!!! never give him a ride in your car!!! =P well, the part on the side of the block that you screw your oil filter to has these 2 metal balls at the end with springs on them to create oil pressure, the one that returns oil to the sump twisted and blocked off oil return. Combined with a fairly cold car (thick oil) managed to starve it and run the bearing for cylinder 6, but it had a bit of help - i also missed 3rd gear (gearbox was getting a bit fussy) but was also chatting away to people in the car not really paying attention 100% to the gear shift, if felt like it went in, but clearly didn't so it smashed into limiter on that change. =\ im hoping it's only going to be a week or 2 before i get my car back for run in (should be about 10 months off the road)... i considered stroker and rb30 bottom end but just did have the cash for them, so i went for a stock rebuild.

wasent that january? or was jan the month for spun bearings, sept the month for low compression?? =P

damn, sounds like one expensive head gasket! stroker... the cheats way to 400

what happened?? =\

pms replied to, sorry about the delay, was hoping to get some delivery prices today but didn't happen (got caught up making a carbon fiber diffuser)

ask him for tracking details of the parcel... i had an oil pump sent recently, once we tracked it it had actually spent 10 days in the couriers van and he handent dropped it off.... grrrrrrr!!!!!

your asking on a car forum for a females advice?? i think you have bigger problems

yeah... i'd sugest you actually read my post and then send your pm again, thanks!

dont you also loose your brake ducts??? =\

i've heard spacers are illigal, so the solution is one of those cans of tyre filler... apparently thats all you need to please a cop?? =\

was just readin about this... and if red bull decide to switch engine supplier, seems like a REALLY bad month for renault =\

hrmmm, finally got round to doing it... <<<<< got some new bling bling =D

nps man... pritty lucky to find that old school mobo on such short notice =P no quite the quick fix i thought it was (originally thought it was dust!) but turned out to be a dead msi mobo... chalk another one up =)

anyone familiar with pro-e?? im new to it and having a bit of troulbe modeling a dome in it =\ any help would be awsome, thanks!

probably should put me down for this now.. =D

Yes, it’s finally here!! Your chance to get the new and improved SAU hoodie!! So the details are as follows (there is a lot to read, so bear with me): The Brand of top we have chosen is Winning Spirit, in particular a 320 gsm 80% Cotton 20% Polyester hoodie with a double lined hood. These will be embroidered on both sides with your name and an SAU logo on the front and another SAU logo and the website on the back (as pictured below). Price: $58 a hoodie (one price for all). Delivery will be extra and only available to those living interstate (will have to confirm delivery price) Style: You can choose from either a plain or zipped hoodie Username: A 1 (one) line username is included in the price. It will be in BLOCK LETTERS (hoodies will be the same price with or without a username) Colour and Size: Below are the colour and size charts for both male and female tops. Unless there is overwhelming demand for white/red hoodies I won’t be offering them. Male Plain Hoodies: Male Zip Hoodies: Female Plain Hoodies: Female Zip Hoodies: This sounds good to you and you would like to order one? I would prefer orders online (either by PM or in this thread) but in person is also fine. Please use this template: Real Name: *will NOT appear on the top* Contact Number: *optional* Delivery Address: *interstate orders only* ---------------------------------- Style: Plain/Zip Colour: Size: Username: *name you want to appear on the top, leave blank for no name* Quantity: If you want to order multiple hoodies but they are each slightly different you MUST copy/paste the template for each different hoodie you want and alter the appropriate fields (so if any of: style, colour, size or username change). I will not pretend to be a mind reader!!! Payment: I will require payment in full and up front but to add a twist to this I’m not going to be able to accept payment by EFT from locals (if your interstate, don’t worry, I’ll make an exception for you). This has to do with a strange set of personal circumstances, my apologies for any difficulties this may cause you guys but it’s just the way it has to be done. The last day for orders/payment will be at the SAU:SA dinner on the 9th of October. For interstate people just be aware that that’s a Friday and I will need clear funds, so don’t transfer money to me later than Tuesday the 6th. Just so your aware, you can catch me around town/at Villis, I’ll make myself readily available so there is no excuses for not being able to meet up! Delivery: With any luck I hope to have a 2 week turn around time from the 9th. Once they are done I will let people know and the can come get them from me (probably at Villis) ___________________________________________________________________ Now, for those of you wanting to get your replacement hoodie from the last group buy done I’m willing to help you out. The cost will be $38 and what I need from you is when you order to use this: Real Name: *will NOT appear on the top* Contact Number: *optional* Delivery Address: *interstate orders only* ---------------------------------- Hoodie: I will get you my Adrian/Damo hoodie Size: *I need this just so we don’t get hoodies mixed up* Style: *I need this just so we don’t get hoodies mixed up* Username: *name you want to appear on the top, leave blank for no name* Then you will need to not only give me the money, but the hoodie at the same time!! If I only have 1 or the other, I wont put your order in and it’s your responsibility to get me both of them! Just note: I’m only offering this for the people who have tops done from the last group buy, so no, you can’t go and buy XYZ brand top and give it to me as I wont take it. ___________________________________________________________________ Q. 3XL wont fit me and I want a top? A. I have access to some 5XL tops from a different brand, if your interested PM me and I will get some info/pricing for you. Q. How much money are you making out of this? A. None, I’m doing this at cost for SAU! Q. Why are you selling hoodies when it’s now spring? A. I was told I’d be getting the sample tops mid June… not mid September, again, apologies for the delay but some things are just out of my control. The important thing is we are getting a quality product right? Thanks!
