Port Lincoln this Thursday.

Saturday night was the worst.

Started drinking at like 7pm.

Left town at roughly 6:15am... well, whenever the sun was coming up, as I was still out the front of Reds :D

But what a night. My mate got kicked out of 6 clubs ;) the only place that'd let him in on Hindley street was Strats.

So how was everyone's Easter? :D

On Wednesday my partner and I headed off to Port Lincoln, Stayed in Cowell overnight and had an awesome snitty and got pissed with locals and some friends from Whyalla who were there.

Got to Lincoln, ate lots of food, drank lots of beer and wine, Jetski, Tubes, Sharkwater and goodtimes till I got home Sunday.

On the Friday our friend got a flat tyre so we lent him ours, went out to the beach, can you believe WE then got a flat tire from a screw! So typical. All good tho, mate's dad owns the wreakers and hooked us up with one.

I hate to admit I very much enjoy driving the 6 speed V8, especially with the raor from the twin exhaust.

Nothing like a new 6.2ltr ute running around when GMH suppliers run out mufflers!

there might be when the 6.4ltr comes out next year and the 6.6ltr the year after. just make it 10ltr and be done with it already :P

No Dale its easy enough though to make gtr manifolds fit though would need to look in the maintainence thread

Cheers,

I'll have a look. At this stage the CA will be pensioned off unless i can't get what i'm after for it (which knowing cheap ass CA owners i won't) and i'll be going RB25 with a set of R34 GTR turb's and GTR intake, looking for around 280-300.

no 26/30 dale?

That's the next 180. Next year once a start working as an engineer i will start that project but it will be a ground up build for a bare shell. Once i start building the engine then this 180 will be sold with whatever engine it is running at the time. But nothing will be spared on that engine, including a dry sump setup, CNC ported head, full crank girdle (crank case to main cap to crank case) etc, etc.

With the CA i'm at the point where i need to rebuild it if i want to make any more power, i can do it for around 3k and it will make 260rwkw; or i can sell it fit a 25 and put the 3K into that and make near 300kw. But like i said if i don't get the right money for the CA i'll just rebuld that and be happy with 260.

My gf's business partner has just got a Calais V with the new cylinder de-activation and this thing sounds like V6 Alloytec, bit disappointing.

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
