yes andrew, ive changed my mind.

i wanna see the assholes that started these fires burn. no hearings. no court cases. no chance to defend themselves. i want to see them burn.

luke jacobs i think.

Yeah +1 to that. Throw the book at them (or set the bastards on fire).... fundraiser would be good but I dunno how far we can go with our general SAU turnout.. then again even a small amount of cash would be better than nothing... could do a BBQ like Damo suggested? Everyone brings a plate of food/meat and $10? Then donate the cash to salvos or red cross or some other charity that's helping people out

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

what would that achieve? the law is so f**king lax. if its a kid they'll get a f**king slap on the wrist. actually, an adult would get nothing more than that too. shit, couple years with no parole at most? burn the motherf**kers.

Bugger! Think my turbo is on its way out. Making some minor "rattling" noises (sounds like dry bearings) under the engine bay. No harm to performance at all. Runs the same and perfectly fine. Its just some odd noise I can hear when I'm not blowing my brains out with Linkin Park. I'm pretty sure its the turbo. Getting it checked out on the way home tonight by some mob in Regency Park. :(

Maybe a 3071 is due! :D

Or I might just keep the stock turbo and rebuild it with new bearings so the cops are happy. :P

Edit: I'll also add ...

When I shut the engine off, I hear the faint noise for another 5 secs after. Perhaps bearings in turbo spooling down? The only thing I can think of that would still be 'rotating' or 'running' after the engine is off. I'd like to think its something else, but must be realistic.

Any ideas at all what it would cost me? Ballpark figure? :(

Yeah I think the problem is that you listen to Linkin Park, the rattling noise is the tinnitus haha

Confirmed. Turbo core is rattly and on its way out. $1700 to rebuild.

Do I go with rebuilding it or would a 3071 be better with less lag?

For $1700, what do I do people? :P

f**k 1700? a guy in melb hiflows for 800? You can get more power out of a 3071r :P but do you wanna upgrade injectors, fuel pressure reg, fuel pump, z32afm, etc etc?

I'm with damo on this. If u get defected you'd have to take the FPR, AFM and turbos off. I know you're mechanically smart enuff to do that, I'd just be wondering if its worth the money/hassle.

That said, 3071's are hardcore :P DO EEEET!

It's definetly worth the hassle, time and money otherwise no one would buy anything....300rwkw is definetly worth the risk. loll

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
