that's a long way for you! Good work!

And how could i miss a dinner with the coasties!? So I'm in!

I'll also probably drive the SS or the Proton up, so anyone who wants to drink can hitch a lift with me.

i tried to get my girly to come.

but she's deaf and feeling a liitle self conscious and she gotta work early next morning (blah blah blah)

i wish she would.

Tell your g/f we want her to come... she can't hide from us forever! There's over 20 people coming now, it's gonna be a really good night and heaps of people are bringing thier g/f or b/f or whoever - get on your hands and knees and beg - and make her read this post if you have to!!!

BRING G/F OR ;) !!!!!

Pope, washing machine = no??? WTF?

sorry about the lame joke reference

u know Q "do you want to go to the party?"

As we do in aus answer the Q with another Q "is the pope a Catholic?"

but way back when, there was an iconic australian washing machine and lawnmower brand name called Pope

so the answer to the AQ is " no he is a washing machine"

    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD. 
    • The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.
    • Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol. 
    • I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.
    • I've been doing it for longer then I can remember and on pretty much every car I've owned without any issues.  Jack on a tow point (or under the rear diff), jack stands under control arms/other beefy suspension component is my go to if I'm not using the quick jack.
