The Bogan

I always carry a folding chair in the boot, no one has time for drinking standing up.

Next racewars.

I've run 2 of them before without issue, and heaps of heat wrap. Smokey as all hell when new though. My plan is to intall it, drive straight to the hwy and drive to Goulburn and back. Last time I "cured" a beanie and wrap, the STI, it looked like my car "was" on fire, that much smoke came out when I stopped at the lights a guy came over to see if I was alright.

Ebay purchases. I just got home from 2 months away with work, sooo, I'm going to drop a week of leave, so while it's up on stands and I'm playing with my gearbox and diff oil, every time I wrap an exhaust, I swear I will not do it again....and this time is on the car....yeah....it's going to suck.....and I'll say I'll never do it again......till next time.....#nevergonnalearn

I'm going to get an analysis done on my gearbox oil at Mainlube in Botany. I'll drop off the sample to them, it will take 30 minutes for the test and evaluation, from there we will make a call of what is required. I only need to grab 2.5ltrs of the stuff so additional cost isn't really a worry . I might end up getting a oil from them, they build their oil packs on site based of the analysis, type of metals used and the use and service schedule. I'll post up when it's done, give me a few weeks. Maybe this is something I should have done with the Skyline, that thing would chew the case hardening of the gears after a few hard launches, it ate 3 gearboxes that way when I had it. I have heard of people getting tests on engine oil, but never gear box oil. And as the Aisin 6 speed is rated to 250nm, and I'm currently at around 280nm ATW, it might be cheap insurance for gearbox longevity. Maybe????????? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...WIKIXS_zCTWs6-

Mate, I had a look for them, no luck, I think they unded up at the tip after a big cleanup.

A spill kit

"MEGGADONLOSAURUS"

It was really clean looking and very nice when I had a sneaky look around it. Pretty quite too as it sneaked away. You don't see many that good anymore. Hell, I haven't seen one that good for years.

The young guy just purchased it, was chilling with his girl at the Hive. Would have prefered to be driving that old girl and not the G-Bagon of slow. Edit: actually, I would have rather been in my 86 ?

Spotted today on the bells line I believe.

Are those bars adjustable?

Been away with work for a while, managed to get home last weekend, took the thing for a spin. I think I need a new clutch...by think I need one, I mean my throw out bearing seems kaput. #UWISSH No catastrophic engine failure yet mate, I am working on it though.

Any other twin owners out there? Or am I the only one here?

And......

If work stops stealing my free time I'm in, it's been years since I've been on a cruise. Austi burger shop is awesomeballs, bacon and egg sanga with a choc malk shake with 2 shots of coffee. Mmmmmmm, deliciousness.

Little boys axe for those tricky jobs

I've just come back from down Bega way, there were cows bloody everywhere, either the fires knocking out fences, or farmers cutting the fences so the cows didn't melt. Not just remote farms, Hwy ways, main roads, those beasts were everywhere, well the ones that actually made it out anyway. You has PM

Years ago I used some aftermarket brass bushing to replace the plastic one in my boat. Twas a good improvement. Pretty sure there is a how to thread here I used.

Big change. A radiator air guide thingamagig does wonders for cleaning up the front and hiding the thermos and stuff, I'm dubious if it actually helps with cooling though. Plus it's a good work station for tools and stuff.

I have a habit of putting the car on stands, pulling stuff apart, then putting everything back together a day or so later, I also have big drain grates around, after working on the car I tend to walk around looking at stuff, typically drinking and tripping over shit, hell, it's not a sensible thing to do, but it's how I roll. Note to self: be more organised when working on the car. Meh, yeah nah. Organising shit is for chicks. EDIT: come to think of it, this lack of organisational skills could be the eeason I have no 1/4 or 3/8 sockets left, and I can never find a 10mm or 14mm socket, on a positive note my allen keys are pretty rusty.

Give it time mate, it's not like I'm talking it easy on it. Although at only 200kw 270nm it's not like it's making huge power. From talking to a few people alot of cars grenaded due to people not knowing how to tune them properly. Maybe if it was being tracked the additional heat and lots of high rpm the longevity could be counted in hours, but for a street car, at the current power level, the thing just loves a bit of sensible thrashing and catches alot of people of guard. My only oil control is a Forester heat exchanger I put on, typical to the RB one that everyone removes, I love it because it brings up the oil temp quicker from cold, and the quicker my oil hits 90°c the quicker I can give it some beans, and it also works well at stabilizing the oil temp during spirited driving. It has zero effect on my coolant temps, which basically stabilize around 90°c. I'm currently wondering if and when a 2nd generation 86 hits, there has been alot of talk but nothing solid. In other news: my stock clutch isn't liking its life and will need to be looked at shortly. Maybe > https://vsport.com.au/product/86-brz-exedy-clutch-replacement-kits/
