yeah, the guy my mate is gettin the sus/axles/brakes thru just needs a stud pattern. 5x114.3 gives us the most flexibility (ford, nissan, toyota, mazda, etc).

also will be in contact regardin them stockies :happy:

i hate cars sometimes!

Car is in getting about $1000 worth of work done to her :happy: Im carless until at least wednesday if not longer :D

All new hoses.. thermostat.. cooling system flushed and new coolant, amongst other things.

flick, the hose that gave out on you sounds like the one i had give out a couple of times. cost me about 600 bucks over both times to just have them replaced. woulda lost coolant without knowing it? not until it decided to boil over?

well temp never really changed at all. I didnt have a clue anything was wrong until i got to work and saw the coolant pissing out everythere and steaming! The hose was pretty much split in 2 when i got to the mechanics.

Decided to replace a few other hoses along with it, cos theyre sure to go very soon too

:D i used to work for Olympic Trailers :) making 6x4 5x8 custom and horse float side's and tail gates

in a day from nothing to complete chassis i used to make 2x 6x4 that's cut and bend all my own materials

oh, and a small note

the process is started, my trailer is about to be started :P. Once its built, my mate has said he will be happy to build more (and to your specs). Designs are ADR approved, so will be easy to get passed through a regency inspection to gain registration as well

i'll have my trailer by the time shepparton comes round (give or take a week or two prior to having to go)

I would't mind having a look at that when its finished Matty, as i use to build custom made trailers for 5 years, oh and you dont need to take it to regency to get rego, just need to take it to a registerd trailer manufacture for a quick visual inspection to get it rego'd
hears a pic of one of my old creations, full box chassis, full tilt, winch, side mounted spare wheel, hide away alloy ramps, led lights, 2 pack paint. :bunny:

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
