The Bogan

Is it possible to check what your crankcase pressure is? I know with hydraulics that the longer the line, the more pressure you need to move the oil Maybe due to the long single line, the crankcase pressure will rise because it is being bottle necked by the long line, maybe, maybe not, it may work great My brain hurts now, time for a snooze

VAG isn't an acronym, it's just a polite way of saying a bunch of Kunts

I kinda like the red, it "sort of" reminds me of my old orange one I loved As for a turbo, nah, I'll keep it stock, well....maybe just a cat back, and intake, and some wheels, and probably a tune......LOLOLOLOLOL I'm going to chat to my broker and see what he can do for me Good news is the Minister for War and Finances is onboard

Went for a drive in a work mates new car, now I want a new BRZ TS..... exactly like this....yeap, here we go again, not sure on which colour, his was white, but I want a "real" colour, I am thinking red, because red is faster......LOL

I'm actually a fan of a bright yellow R32 http://www.rbmotoring.com/blog/nissan-skyline-r32-yellow-color-available-to-source But then I like colours that aren't black, white, silver or grey for sporty/fun cars, those colours seem to blend into the background, I'm looking into a carpark right now with about 100 cars in it, and the only cars that stand out amongst the sheep are yellow, orange, red, blue and this weird yellowish greenish HQ ute

Disclaimer: totally different car My Honda's shifts were a "little" notchy at high RPM and the clutches engaged pretty high, no amount of bleeding fixed it, I thought it might have been the syncros, turns out the old girls clutch, pressure plate, fork and thrust bearing were worn, after replacing those OEM parts with new OEM parts the clutch engagement was much lower, was lighter, and shifted at high RPM like butter I'm not saying this is your issue, but there are alot of moving parts that are considered consumable items hidden in there

I've seen wrap peel around edges and bubble, but not fall off in chunks, it does look like it has taken a hit for the wrap to tear and come off like that, how long has it been wrapped?

My old 500hp R33 25/30 boat used about 20 L/100 Km around town, and about 15 L/100 Km on the Hwy on 98 Currently my 500hp blown LS1 in a Dunnydoore uses around 25 L/100 Km around town, and 12 L/100 Km Hwy on 98 I'm assuming your fuel gauge isn't accurate

What codes? Any warning lights, a ABS warning light should come up if a speed sensor is busted

It's a sickness 🤡, don't judge me, I'm a sensitive clown

Bogan Cruise Ship is all washed and shiny, so I can drive down to Goulburn tomorrow to get covered in bugs, me and the daughter will then head into Canberra for some lunch and shopping As for the Honda, it has had a clutch birthday at BYP (clutch, pressure plate, little bit of flywheel action, spigot bush, new fork, thrust bearing, and while they were in there a fresh rear main seal, and a new timing chain tensioner) Noticeable difference rowing gears at 7750 rpm, cuts shifts like a hot knife through butter Thought about throwing a Torsen LSD in the gear bag, but didn't, which is unlike me with my "while we're sort of in there" mentality Did some chatting with BYP IRT how strong the Honda engines, boxes and clutches are, IIRC they said they run some race cars with the stock K25Z3 engines and 6 speed boxes, even some with a little bit of boost I also asked how hard it would be to fit a little spooly boy that gives me another 100 hp and some dose for LOLS............. Not hard or that expensive really after chatting........🤪 Note to self: when having a quickish take off ensure that the traction control is off, as when it activates it cuts all power for what seems like about 3 seconds, I had the initial jump on a 8th gen Civic Type R until it decided to cut all of my powers when it single pegged, which gave Mark the instant sads New, "budget for the LOLS", possibly incoming for some Honda boost stuff...... and a LSD 🤪

Valet mode? Do you have a aftermarket alarm Does your ECU have valet mode? I know some cars and alarms have them and you need to do some switch toggling to activate and deactivate If you do have an alarm google the brand and look for how to activate and deactivate it Or, as stated above, Cursed by a wandering gypsie, built on a pet cemetary, etc.

I'm offended, I identify as 6'5" 🤪

Like my old 2009 Honda Accord....... Euro with dipping side mirrors I guess I am the quintessential male white privileged over opinionated elitist wanker Good times 🤪

So, whilst the Bogan Cruise Ship is GTG, and I had organised some time today to go on the SAU NSW cruise, my best laid plans where kicked in the balls, well, kicked in my right knee to be exact Now, after a bit of arthroscopic "honing" and tibial band lengthening "modifications" , I'm sitting on a couch in a prescription induced drug haze, watching 5hit on the Youtubes and falling in and out of consciousness......good times

To be fair, is a header, K&N air filter and flash tune really classed as "mods"? It's a sickness STOP PARTS SHAMING ME..... I'M SENSITIVE.......😪🤣

To many issues and cost when you look into getting it to a reliable street car that is easily registered and insured I'm looking at something small, cool and fun that just works straight out of the box The Bogan Cruise Ship is my modified car that could possibly have issues at the drop of a hat For my sanity I only really need 1 modified car in my life

I have always wanted another little "sports car" like the MX5 NB I had years ago, but, with more balls I've got the Commodore with lots of seats and power, same same for my Honda daily hack, well, it has lots of seats anyway I almost bought a NB MX5 Mazdaspeed (turbo) a while ago on a impulse buy, until I took it for a test drive, and remembered how slow they actually are Meh, first world male white privilege problems are real

Just went for a spin in a mint 2009 BMW Z4 M manual convertible, I can see the appeal, classic sports car, looks great, minimalist interior, and heaps of power for a car weighing 1300kg, and sounds lovely reving to 8k rpm, the gearbag feel shifting was insane Just like a classic MX5, but with balls the size of coconuts A young guy at work just picked it up for $50k, with only 64k km on it, we took it for a quick thrash and I was super impressed with how it went And weirdly, no check engine lights came on, well....not in the 15 minutes we were laying into it If it wasn't my fear of all things Euro IRT electrical faults, oil leaks and all other documented issues surrounding all things Euro, I would definitely own one Note to self, Mark, NO....... NO, KEEP OFF CAR SALES YOU IDIOT

Have you asked a Nissan stealership to see if they can get them Google has new OEM Infinity 999J2-JUOB4 and 999J2-JV0B4 in stock in 'Merica for around $75USD each Not sure how the part numbers and year models translate though

The new rotors and pads for the Bogan Cruise Ship finally arrived today so I swapped them out this afternoon The old rear rotors took alot of persuasion with WD-40 and hitting with my big rubber dead blow hammer to get off, the front were easy as the belting, and swearing, took place a month ago when I replaced the the front hub bearing assemblies Just need some good weather so I can go for a cruise to slowly bed them all in Fitting the new master cylinder has been put on the back burner for the moment, there's nothing wrong with the current one really, it was going to be a "while we're in there" job, but as the rear line flange nut is seized, I'm not going to attempt it until I get a new line in case it shears off, which, I'm not in a rush to do at the moment

SAU NSW had it as one of the "historic" scenic stops on a cruise that I went on years ago To say it was overgrown with vegetation at the time would have been an understatement Did walk the track and reminisce about times gone by Now Before.....looks very unforgiving

Yeah, fair call, but if I was to do it again I would go a nicely sized spooly boy turbo or two, space permitting, instead of a PD, or even over a centrifugal, on any engine I've seen a few really responsive turbo LS builds that can make really good power down low, and with the ease of controlling boost with RPM/road speed/gear it makes life much easier I'll leave now......

FYP

G'day team SAU I'm looking for a old engine block or 2 to make up a table or 2 and wine rack...... or 2 Not fussed if they're iron or alloy blocks But the more cylinders the better The blocks I would want to get are your typically straight 4 or 6 cylinder JDM hero engines, or any V8 or bigger (more cylinders= more wine bottles) So if your block has just been tested and come up with cracks, or has had one to many rebores or gouges to be reused, hit me up The going rate on cracked blocks is scrap weight, but, I am happy to take them off your hands and supply some booze, or cash in return, to a point, and the more cylinders the more booze, or cash, if cash is your thing....... I'm in Holsworthy 2173, but can travel around the Sydney region to pick it/them up at your convenience PM me if you have something I may be interested in and we can talk turkey Cheers
