Today, I went to maccas to get breakfast with my friend. He has a supra.

It turns out that the supra forum was running a cruise up to the entrance. We didn't have anything to do, so my friend asked if it was ok if we joined them (I was in my skyline).

They said it was alright for him to join them, but "it would be better off if your friend didn't come with us. there are guys here that don't like skylines or their drivers".

I don't know, but I didn't think that was very nice. On sau cruises, cars of all kinds are welcomed.

it's cos all of the "high powered" supras got owned by a certain gtr once down at palm beach on a supra cruise:

hahahah lol reminds me of a supra cruise a few whores and i attended up the northern beaches. they were all racing and doing flybys.

it was funny the aparent "leader" tryd to have a run with me. pitty he got hossed and all his mates. so it was a gtr embaresing a whole heap of supras. on a supra cruise. it was very funny.

Rukus i don't want to be rude, but which high powered supras are u talking about?, i went to that cruise and there was not any high powered supras present that day, so u r really not making sense dude. Or maybe u call a supras with an intercooler and blowoffvalve high powered!!!

hmmm.. the trash talking from both sides is really necessary. whats it proving? other than making people look like obnoxious jerks?

yeah i agree with you, i just think its funny egging people on.

last thing we want is a fight to start out at this cruise.

When I read most of it, I look at it as light hearted ribbing (its normal for people to give shit to other makes / models, and its also normal for them not to be serious).

But then, for people who haven't been on the forums long (like our new Supra owning posters) they might not see it that way and take it at face value.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
