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)

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff
