Saluations

AutoSalon, Sydney wasn't as "ricey" as I thought. I thought that it actually improved since last year, still had heaps of bright cars/mega dollar interiors which most people here aren't into, but it had some nice cars too this year...

autosalon was dissapointing some of the cars wernt even washed ,,,, i was only turnd on by the black 34,,, the carbon bonnets ,, the girls,, and one mettalic black r32 with i thought was the best street car in there,,, but my best enginuity award has to go to the barbie boys quad rotor ,,,, even though the car use to be a stat right off 318is

My experience of the AutoSalon....

$2.20 M4 Toll into Homebush, $10 to park my car, then told It would be an hours wait to get into the showroom at the cost of $18, did a U-turn and went straight back home.

I'll try and make it earlier next year I think.

flirt models rock

:P

same cars as last year

a few try hard skylines there

not a good idea to rev your engine excessively with no load!!

some nice s15s and the same lame rotaries as all years - they never change looks

drug money is still flowing well in NSW

onegod did have nice wheels, best car for me, hmmmmmmm

SGT SX

That metallic black Skyline you are referring to belongs to a friend of mine.

He used to have a Supra which he converted to single turbo and got 300kw at the rear wheels. You may have seen it in a few magazines.

Well, the new car is a R32 GTR which he personally flew to Japan to select.

Amongst the goodies, it has a single turbo conversion (T88). It will hit the tracks soon.

I would expect with over 450hp at the wheels, it should easily run 10's

The plates are carried over from the Supra and are "FLYBYE".

Also on display with this car was another GTR "DARDVL" which was dynoed with 440+kw at the wheels.

That would be Tim, hes succeeded in putting together another sweet car. The 32 looks awesome.

Jerrys Maroon 32 looks good also.

I find it funny and amusing at times and shitty too listening to ppl say, hey those cars are all from drug money bla bla bla

Its a good idea to have facts to back up your statements before you post some shit....

There is your groups who i admit have made their money illegitamately, but the majority havent, have you guys ever heard of bank loans, credit cards, working hard saving money.

A lot of ppl can afford to take out loan and pay them off a well as living comfortably, having a well paid job takes care of that, but its annoying to hear ppl generalising and calling ppl drug dealers just becauase themselves cant get off their asses and build a car for themsellves....

Chill Dude. There just reffering to the ones who u can tell that is where they get their money

But dude thats my point, HOW can you tell???

As the saying goes " never judge a book by its coverr"

I have been called DRug dealer, criminal, thief, you nam it i been called it... WHY you ask?? Because im from MIddle eastern Appearance ( im a lebbo) and i drive around hotted up cars... even though i dont drink, smoke, never takin drugs, never been in trouble with the law(except speeding etc), but hey ppl have the right to call me all these names beacuse i decide to spend my money on cars.......

Thats my point, how can you tell???

    • 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
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • 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.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
