Wasted Sunday night

Work today

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.

hahaha can you squeeze the CA into a FWD pintara :P you feel like rebuilding a 25 as well :D

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
