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.

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
