Me little piece of crap Corolla got defected on Friday night............ They defected it for having the track out of the guard on the drivers front wheel, and on the paperwork they put down it was a MAJOR defect, so i questioned him on how it could be a major defect and why he is sending me to Regency and why i couldn't just go to Sturt Cop Shop, and unfortunatly he showed me the book and wasn't much i could do.......

In saying all of this the cop actually rang me back the next day(must have been thinking about it/me) and said that i could take it to Sturt Cop Shop, I was cheering, couldn't believe my luck!

lol as if it got defected. poor corola.

i just noticed you sig slimjim 173.6 thats not from your GTR :/ ?? got to be a mistake

Yeah thats from the GT-R, but as Cubes said I've heard that's normal for a stocky one. Although it does have pods, 3 inch zorst from the dump pipes, and is running 11 psi (no boost controller just because of the zorst I think)

Not sure about the torque reading, I've uploaded my dyno sheet, I think I read it right haha.

Oh and it's rwkW, at BoostWorx

^^now called Synergy.

i just got my car back from boostworx, 143rwkw, bit of a drop from 150kw at turbo tune, but it was a hot day at boostworx.

i had just a 3inch straight through from cat-back when it got 150kw at turbo tune, it now has a pod, 040, and FMIC when it got 143 at boostworx. now needs the bleed valve to go on and it should get 150-160kw.

hey, i just had a brain buzz about you fellas with dashmats on the dashboard, u reckon theres any chance that when you pay for a parking docket to park in the city that at around 12-2pm your car could catch on fire because the sun magnifies thru the windshield and causes the paper to catch on fire thus causeing the dash to set alite? call me crazy but i think its plausible on a 43 degree day.

yeah... im on emergency report status only lol. i only handle the big problems here.

EDIT: I made that post a bit after 9 not at 8:14... what part of Adelaide do you live in? perth?

why not, im on a computer the whole freaken day, i got access to about 2 dozen wholesaler lists in adelaide on computer parts, im buying a car on friday which is a skyline, and I got a wealth of knowledge a post away and plenty of experiences to share with ya'll.

like last night i learnt how to drive manual, in a beefed up Sil80, within 10 minutes i got pulled over by cops and he tried to defect me (well my mates car) My mate just got out of regency recently. He flashed some papers, told the cop that last time it cost him 700 bux (the guy that pulled me over was the same guy that sent him to regency in the first place). and the cop let him off clearly knowing that isotta steering wheels are nto ADR approved nor are boostguages on the steering column... as per thread "A Good Read" he is one of the marriage counsellour type cops, asshole.

and then we won indoor soccer 2-1 at findon.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
