lol, yeah, its reasonably obvious. im probably going to move it to the side of the steering column.

also, im fairly sure the wheels poking out the guards, the lack of ground clearance, large (for oem) rear spoiler, velo fixed back and mad fluttaz will be more a reason to defect me...

Dave just do what i have done set up two micro switches, one for the back lighting (so you can turn it off on long night drives as they are pretty bright) and the other is a cop switch that turns off my boost controller and all my gauges. i put the switches under the dash with the remote peak recall switches that come with the STRI gauges.

are you allowed to mount gauges there ?

probably not.

nope it is in the "break away zone" Anything that is not a standard part of the dash is an instant defect.. sadly enough I was questioned about it in 2 cars I have owned but both were let go because of being in small car sunday.

Best to mount them looking as standard as possible to the dash.. im designing up something for a 33/32 dash at the moment for 3 gauges will keep you up to date with it.

....an Evo 8 hehe.

Nice 1. My mrs business partner had an EVO 9 and now has an EVO 10 (blue with EVO O10 plate) and they're great cars. :P

Just realised it was my 1272th post.... so here's another pic of my hand built Neve 1272 clone:

stop encouraging the man to buy sensible cars.

i rely on chef to show me wierd n wonderful cars that we dont normally see in the land of oz like that new school cedric, not these aus delivered automobiles. you've changed man, it used to be about the cars. now its just about making money it seems :P

i cant see someone in their right mind buying the cube but wouldnt mind taking a look at 1 :down:

Hehehe don't worry Dan, plenty more potential for weird and wonderful cars. I just got the Vauxhall Insignia on the SEVS list last week - Google the VX-R model and see why :happy:

The goal with the Evo 8 is to give it a jolly good thrashing - I'd originally planned to do that with the N1, but it's a bit too special for that kind of thing. It is a JDM one by the way. I've already been shopping for new rims for it lol.

AWD, V6 Turbo. win! Doesn't look too bad, bit of a lower and maybe new rims and it will be much much better.

id drive that as is looks pretty sweet, would be scared of something breaking and needing to do some crazy hunting for parts though.

but very nice how much

curious every time you bring 1 of these cars in, does it trigger in your head like you've just unlocked a new car in Forza :happy:

congratulations! you have unlocked Cedric Y34

For those interested, having considered a Nissan Cube, another Y34 Cedric/Gloria, an M35 Stagea and a F50 Cima, and having nearly bought a Honda NS-X, I ended up buying....

....an Evo 8 hehe.

Bah, should've got the Cima (or better yet a 171Majesta :ninja:)

Wouldn't be quite as fun as an E8 though :happy:

Anyone else have a sensational weekend? :):D :D :D

Best weekend ever.

Friday night, drunk at the Wakefield.

Saturday night, drunk at L!ve.

Sunday, drunk at Sea and Vines festival.

I woke up this morning with a ripped shirt and scratch marks all down my stomach. And I cannot remember how that happened.

I'll worry about my liver when I'm 45.

Friday night, drunk at the Wakefield.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
