Looks like the Group Buy thread for all the Garrett turbos is now closed.

Hope no one here was still waiting on any turbos.

Yeah i emailed the guy a couple of days ago about a price without the group but cause i needs to get new turbos.

mmm indian. harvest of india on o'connell st best by far. me and the ex got the craving for indian food cronic and tried nearly everywhere in adelaide.

Indian temptations on Main Nth road is little more than a kitchen and a couple chairs, but theyve always got native clientelle. And they make really good stuff.... thats where I usually go...

Before then it was Padmas rasoi for their vindaloos, or The Spice Kitchen for their butter chickens.... Harvest of India I haven't tried but I hear they have tindaloo on the menu which is worth a lookie I suppose. Beyond India are all round good too but their food is a little more australian-ised.

-D

i love the vindaloos, if u go to harvest of india, try the beef with cheese naan bread. beyond india up the rd is ok. it would be like the cafe primo of indian resturants. family-ised. but they make some hot vindaloos. hotter, the better. theres a alright place on rundle st too, down the end near the corner of the parklands.

Thanks Dohmar for the info.

Mmmmm, indian :P

Anyhow ... I got myself a jar of chilli sauce at the Show. I call it "atomic meltdown" :) Rated 10+/10.

Tried some on a cracker and WOW :( I love spicy/hot foods, and this sauce was def hotter than anything I've had yet.

My mate use to run a pizza shop and he'd make hot pizzas. Even put chillis in the pizza base, just to see me sweat. ;)

When I have the house warming party at my place, I'll be inviting people to try it :P

If you dont mind me asking, why the sale??

I'm toying with a different idea at the moment.........the -5's are definitely the way to go for the best balance of power vs response......ask Martin Donon.

I'm prepared to hold them with a decent deposit Mike.............or anyone else.

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
