Josh, had any work done at chapmans in noosa? If so, anygood?

They mainly do 4wd work. They were getting some silly power out of a super charged Pajero at one stage, only down fall is their dyno is pretty number happy. I would maybe take a conservative 10% off the max power pull number.

But I guess, what dyno’s really read correct numbers, they all seem to be out to some degree these days.

I probably wouldn’t get anything major done IE: performance rebuilt ect, I would think anything basic up to bolting on a turbo kit I couldn’t see an issue. I’d go have a chat and see what you think, as I said there main style of work seem to be 4wd’s :worship:

Saw a few cars out today, did an " on the way to work " lap through maroochy/alex heads.. Waved to you daren but you just looked at me gob smacked as i drove past haha, you where parked behind simons r33 on alex heads..

Saw you out an about Matty.

Was with a red S14, and blue Soarer.

nah, I thought he lost his license anyway?

The Soarer was like xr6 blue

Nup charlie still has it for now, i'm amazed though after the cops caught us drifting monday night haha, got off with a warning which is amazing.. That car is my hero soarer, the angles he was getting out of that car was insane and external waste gates sound sooooo good :ermm:

yeah he still has it...that thing screams,. but he mentioned he no longer has his licence though.

shame.

would love to give that thing a run.

Yeah he lost it yesterday for 3 months, so thats ' another ' person i have to taxi around..

Roger, if it had traction it would be a good run haha. One day :thumbsup:

yeah i saw you but now you have changed your wheels i keep thinking it mite be another GTR lol i still look for the white rims.... i was on the hill just pulled up to look at roger's supra, and talk to simon.

I saw a convoy of skylines when i was headin down brisbane on sunday nite,. 3 of them i saw up the coast,. but never seen them before so my guess was they're not from town... and seeing them on the M1 proves me right.

one was trying to fishtail when on traffic,. pretty cool sight but not neccesary.

also saw SLO34 heading the opposite direction,. im pretty sure thats him coz only one R34 i know has that nismo edition decals and in white.

he must be on his way back home.

heaps of cops on the weekend hey.

Anyone seen the nice 4 door white gts 32 with stickers up the back left of the back wind shield and fat vertex style kit kicking around? I saw it go by and tried to follow it but the damn traffic lights had me.

Roger, i was talking about charlie's soarer that loses tracion, my car grips straight after it loses tracion.

The white 32 with the BN Sports kit is my mate bens.

We went on a road trip to the gold coast on saturday to buy it.

its a 1990 gt-st 4 door with 32 gtr font guards and flared rear guards to fit the Work vs rims, got some nice dish on them too.

the car goes like the clappers but because of the camber set up and the tyres having no side wall, as soo as he boosts it it looses traction.

in the process of fixing it up now.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
