Howdy...

I got this email from Film Australia, it sounds pretty lame, but TV is currently totally obsessed with reality shows, and there is no shortage of people who want to make themselves look like dills in front of the entire country, so if you fit the bill, then this could be right up your alley.

PLEASE don't contact me about this, I have no involvement with it, and I have no information other than that which is provided below, I'm just the messenger here.

All relevant contact information is provided at the bottom of the post.

To Whom It May Concern,

We are currently producing a documentary series for SBS TV all about Growing Up Male in Australia. It explores the major life stages, rites of passage, turning points and transitions in boys and men's lives.

We are very interested in finding a 'car mad' family to feature in our first episode. Ideally the family has a teenage son who is about to get his drivers licence or has just got his licence and owns his own car or uses Dad's car. Perhaps dad is a bit nervous about his son getting a licence and perhaps dad is giving his son driving lessons....the story will explore what the car sub-culture means to the boys and men and explores a kind of rite of passage, when the teenager gets his licence.

We are hoping to film at the end of January or beginning of February. We would like to find families who are in Sydney or NSW - if possible. If there is a fantastic family who live interstate, we could consider travelling.

We would like to film the family restoring or tending to their car, racing it or driving it. Going to car shows, rallies etc.

Do you think you are able to put us in touch with some families to talk to initially, with the possibility of filming with them?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Kind regards,

Nicky

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      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.
