nah i work for a promotional products company we do all of the promotional products for BMA / BHP and sponsored the day so they sent us up for a bit of pr was cool got to meet pete murray and tatiana as they stayed in the same hotel as us. (you would not let your dog sleep in the other hotel/motel)

the dude in the blue shirt next to tatiana is wearing one of the shirts i designed (tatiana has gone down hill since the olympics) her head is wedged in ass!! but pete murry is so layed back and like your average guy

and hell yes they are some mad turbos!!!

I think that motor was one of the 3000kw versions

the pic of the pipe is actualy the extention lead running the power to the dragline

i've been there, i setup the WCDMA in the tower that's on the hill :)

the biggest turbo's i've seen were at a mine out that way.. but this one was more south east of emerald, can't remember the name, there were a few of them laying in there machinery repair shop and wholey f**k they were huge, almost as heavy as picking up an RB block :P

and accomodation out that way really does suck, and expensive too :( $120 a night to stay in some lice infested motel, when $100 in mackay gets you a 2 bedroom fully airconditioned hotel with cable :P

hey just realised something dont send it to unltd as thats my personal business!

send it to [email protected] <- this is my regular day job (that does CAT / Hastings / BMA)

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
