over 30 posts and no one has mentioned ramp rates. how much brake against the rollers.........you need to compare apples for apples

miracle shammy?!.................more like miracle scammy!! hurry up and use it boys b4 the show finishes so I can get my mate who runs the security there to get me a couple if they're any good.

require full specs pls, i.e. spring rates etc to suit R34 GTR

very nice chad

hmm.......and I thought you and Luke didn't like my brand of deodorant or something

do you mind!!...........just as I'm slurping away at my chicken noodle soup.........what a mental vision, lol.

I just copied this off their site: TOP 5 SHOOTOUT 1st - George Spartalis (R34 GTR) 1:29.25 2nd - Simon Lake (EVO 6) 1:30.24 3rd - Matt Dreckow (CE MIRAGE) 1:30.28 4th - Chris Saunders (EVO 9) 1:31.03 5th - Tristan Catford (EVO 9) 1:31.84

Sorry Luke, I did the whole Father's Day thingy yesterday with my Dad and my kids and since then I've been flat on my back with a bulging disc. If I can get into the car at some stage I'll go and see the local BP.

what did your folks do in the States and what do they do now Kye?

ohhh man I forgot about that

I still don't think you can go past the Mars Bar............just ask Steve (Madaz), he's a regular

yeah I did, thanks bud, my kids are awesome.

OK Luke sorry it's taken so long but here goes.....the blue bracket is the support for anti flex. EDIT: Thanks Carl

ahh, thanks boys. I wanted to get home quickly while it was running fine but like I said, she broke down just outside the Tonsley Pub and I ended up rolling into Lloyd St, St Marys to avoid sitting on the main road for the next hour........I was only 1 km from home so a tow at 10kph might have been a good idea. Now I just have to go thru the threads to find a good mobile auto electrician cause I'm over working on it.

Luke I just went outside and it's too dark for a decent pic so I'll have to wait for daylight bud, sorry. so does that mean all BP's are no longer the best when it comes to premium fuel?? I definitely don't want that yellow stuff again!!

I'm going to my BP again and buy 1/2 litre of all 3 fuels then I'll post pics Haven't forgotten you Luke ENR34

forgot this was on otherwise I would've gone.......just around the corner from me.

Dan, disconnect your battery, pump the brake pedal a couple of times and reconnect.........before you do anything else.

did a quick search and seems like the yellow stuff is E10 (10% ethanol) and is being sold by BP now as "BP Ultimate 98"..........I hope I'm wrong! found a couple of interesting articles. Fuel Colour Ethanol in Petrol The RAA’s position on Ethanol Late last year the Federal Parliament approved legislation capping the use of ethanol in petrol to 10% (E10) and requiring that petrol stations adequately inform consumers if they are using petrol that includes ethanol. An anomaly currently exists in South Australian legislation whereby ethanol blended petrol is able to be sold within the State as long as the ethanol containing petrol conforms with current emission standards and is not blended in South Australia. What is Ethanol? Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) is a clear, colourless liquid, generally manufactured from grain or sugar. (Currently around 90% of Australia’s ethanol is produced from wheat). Blending ethanol and petrol in various proportions has been put forward as a means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and alleviating adverse economic conditions in the sugar industry. Ethanol can be considered as a renewable fuel when produced from sustainable agricultural sources and has potential for cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Whether this potential is realised depends on the feedstock and the technology used in the production process as well as the distribution and blending procedures. When determining the overall environmental impacts or benefits of ethanol use, the ‘whole of life’ effects must be measured, including the impacts of the production of wheat or sugar produced solely for ethanol production. Ethanol is more costly to produce than petrol and requires its own storage and distribution infrastructure. Ethanol can be used as an automotive fuel by itself and can be mixed with petrol to form an ethanol/petrol blend. Pure ethanol can only be used in specially designed engines. Vehicle fuel economy is reduced when petrol is diluted with ethanol because of its lower energy content. Will Ethanol damage my vehicle or affect its performance? Most metal components in fuel systems will corrode or rust in the presence of water. Ethanol increases petrol's ability to absorb water without separating and Ethanol blended petrol can therefore ‘hold’ more water and carry this through the engine. The greater the concentration of ethanol the greater the ability to ‘hold’ water. Several studies have examined the effect of E10 on fuel tanks and fuel system components and have concluded that ethanol up to 10% does not increase corrosion in normal, everyday operation. Ethanol blends may have a deteriorating effect on the rubber components of an engine. Other additives, such as benzene may also have an effect. In older models, deposits in fuel tanks and fuel lines are occasionally loosened by E10, and the fuel filter may become plugged. This is remedied by a fuel filter change. If very Ethanol rich fuel is used this may cause an engine to stall. Laboratory tests have shown that blends of 20% pure Ethanol in petrol can damage some conventional automotive paint. Vehicle warranties A number of motor vehicle and marine engine manufacturers advise their warranties would be voided where fuel blends of greater than 10% ethanol have been used.

mate that may explain my running issues cause even with the ignition wire sorted it seemed to be backfiring & stalling once it got hot. When I drained the fuel, first thing I thought of, did someone tamper with my fuel?! Oh by the way, no fuel pump on my bike, gravity fed petcock only.

thanks Roo, appreciate that mate

could to meet you Tom and good to catch up with a few regulars and not so regulars.........and my mum (Kell)!! gotta love the pics of Martin's GTR! Oh, and I sensed a bit of tension in the air last night. Next time I'm going to enforce some serious reconciliation SLED_The_Enforcer.doc

hey Carl, I looked for your guys along South Rd but couldn't see you (where you behind or in front of me?) so I pretty much hammered it before the ignition broke down again outside the Tonsley pub, just before Mitsubishi. Played with the wiring for about an hour and got it running through back streets for about 1/2 km before calling for a flatbed. The poor RAA dude was too scared to strap it down so I had to do it for the baby. By the way, what colour should 91 & 98 octane be? I drained the fuel last night and it was bright yellow?!

you're all funny boys...............and good blokes

what the...... Congratulations mate shotgun wedding???!
