  1. Wha? You selling already?
  2. Yeah.... But only temp. Will most likely do 2 stints and then have local work after christmas. And better than what else is going round... 4 weeks on, 1 off... my uncle is doing 6 weeks on, 2 off from cairo. f**k dat. But he is on movie star wages... And been married 2.5 times with ~12 kids of all ages. #livingthedreamJust settling into camp and im pretty impressed. Ensuites, foxtel, internet, phones, gym, plenty of food, no booze (sounds like a good thing so far). No swimming pool though... Thats for the dudes who will work at the gas mine once its up and running.
  3. 19 on 9 off.
  4. First day of FIFO 84 hour week come at me (Money isnt that great, job is tight ass already)
  5. not a bad idea that. will clear a fair bit of space. its a different bolt pattern than normal SR20's (because GTiR) but luckily there is one available: http://www.mazworx.com/store/p/134-Mazworx-SR20DET-GTi-R-Oil-Block-Adapter.aspx
  6. Yeah tell me about it. Organised everything in advanced and so far everything that has gone wrong has been utilities and internet, the only things out of my control really.How's Geelong treating you anyway?
  7. New house been waiting on internet for 2 weeks, get told will be connected COB Tuesday, hook it up yesterday in preparation and it has internet. Cool... I guess.
  8. Does that thing even have gears?Hmmm LS7 would be fun to play around with
  9. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10204305801022775&set=vb.1161432857&type=2&theater I dont have to go to WTAC now?
  10. Not a bad price... Chasers so heavy though. And the image that comes with them (constant driving like a f**k wit on rubberband stretched tyres)
  11. Want garage cafe but need to tidy old rental before final inspection on friday. Ergh. Getting takeaway noodles as we speak. At least its better than the satay chicken
  12. But what about watch drift and show n shine? All the vendors and garages... I reckon itd be worth it. At least cheer richo on. For shame.
  13. Im assuming flights would be waivered? $55 almost gets 2 people into calder park to watch drags for a few hours
  14. do rate centreline. after getting an alignment at a standard tyre/suspension shop and receiving the figures, then going to centreline to have it double checked cause it was weird... centreline showed me there was nothing wrong. and they said some places dont calibrate their alignment gear as often as they should. Chris is a good guy, they know their stuff. You dont go there expecting a cheap bill but provide quality work and really good feedback on setups. Will be taking the gloria there to get the suspension sussed out fo sho.
  15. Might become official FIFO for a while. Got a small project at a mine out of brisbane. Probably at some dump like Gympie or Gladstone. Finally get to knock up some underage sheila, get a jetski then a mortgage (in that order). Living the dream.
  16. anyone got a jetski for sale?
  17. sandy line is pretty good (in comparison to other lines). but where theres public transport, theres dead beats. now everyone just calm down and put on some bob ross while they work. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1hsyf7_bob-ross-the-joy-of-painting-s3e2-blue-moon_creation
  18. They were just my thoughts when i jumped into my gfs dads 135i. Was brand new and wondered how much it set back with any optionals. Beefy torque. No idea what they cost second hand though. Glw search
  19. Nice car, I can just squeeze in the back seat and admire the quite average dash. Better get an M badge off eBay before you purchase one
  20. thats farked. get dezz to do 9k worth of damage to it. (is that how VWL works?)
  21. talk to me birds, this aint working brother.
  22. need price and location. i also recommend Meguirs metal polish for all steel wheels.
  23. tried newish burger joint in Huntingdale: Burgled. burgers are under $15 and were pretty tasty. Had a japanese-style? fried chicken burger with asian slaw and wasabi aioli. $11. quality sweet roll. do recommend. next SAU monthly meet. they open late and huntingdale is dead after hours. plenty of parking.
  24. spun a bunch of bearings (and I thought RB26's were bad ) so engine is being rebuilt... thankfully most things are salvageable: block, oil pump, pistons, 3/4 rods... But also means need 1 rod (fingers crossed dont have to buy a set) and a better condition crank (ive been told "kunts farked"). I did have big plans for during this down time but have been busy moving house, work, handyman shit + usual crap. So once engine is built, chuck it in, run it in with no cooler/relocation kit... then connect up new oil filter relocation kit and old cooler, gonna source some mechanical oil pressure gauges and check different parts of the motor (just for informations sake and to see if its all ok) Thanks for the info, it was actually bang on the money. I traced out the oil cooler lines and found the ones on the oil filter relo kit were ass-about considering the damage and the deja vu to the last engine, it is likely this was the cause because the setup was kept similar to what it was... I feel a lot better now that something has been found, other than trying to find it once it was running again. fingers crossed! The oil filter connection on the block is pretty obvious the return is the offset. Has those spring loaded one-way ball valves (which work) While the relocation kit is not so obvious. it makes sense oil filters are one directional. oh well. tested the oil thermostat it was all good I have also been busy planning & sourcing parts for a Y34 gloria im importing at the moment. So will be joining the V6 RWD gang for the first time. will chuck a build thread up on www.aus-vip.com when it lands later this month. mods will kept mainly cosmetic and maintenance based, but if i get bored or find an ECU that will work then it'll be time for E85 + bolt-ons weweewewew
