been trying to write this all day and keep getting interrupted by people wanting me to do work... how inconsiderate!

Big thanks once again to all involved in putting these things on... finally managed to stick around for a couple of drinks afterwards and just long enough to get destroyed by the locals at pool... Kalli and I had a great time chatting with everyone so thank you once again... you're all very friendly for a bunch of hoons;)

ps. that crest on the mini wang was scary enough going over forwards... was definately a new experience to tackle it backwards lol!

I know your all very keen to see results by the amount of calls, SMS's, e-mails and PM's Snowy and I have had today. But your just going to have to wait an hour longer, because I actually had to do work @ work today. I'm 1/2 way through the results now.

Gareth is looking good!

Oh and I think that must have been someone else up on stage, cause I don't remmeber that happening. :)

I'm going to kill something with all this anticipation.....

Notes from my weird idle.

I can't find it.

I don't like it.

I hate driving it.

Tomorrow me thinks she's going to the doctors.

Cos I'm buggered if I can get the throttle body or inlet manifold off!

Stoopid cars.

It is a day's driving at the DECA training centre in Shepparton. Courses are designed by exclusive highly talented individuals paid copius amounts of money, to test the ability of Vic Club Members. The group of 50ish cars are split in 2. 1 half do the skid pan in the first half of the morning and the other do the back tracks. They then rotate and by the time all are finished, the BBQ king is well under way for lunch.

Skid pan tracks are designed with witches hats that correspond with a set of maps given out at registration in the morning. Sometimes this is themed and has been accompanied by a themed CD (Top Gun and Starwars)

The morning sessions are 1 car at a time on any event with the afternoon congregating on the skid pan for battle sessions which are not eliminators (although have been on at least 1 I went to) but jus 2 cars up on identical witches hat courses.

Helmets are required for the back tracks but not for the skid pan and passengers can go in cars all day as long as they adhere to the same rules (helmet on the back track and sign a waiver).

Some people stay up on Friday and Saturday night which is a continuation of the day with dinner at Taco Bills, then the Yahoo Bar for drinks, followed by anything else.

One keyword for the whole weekend is............

FUN!!!!

      R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
