Just a few pics i snapped while i was over there and stuck in my Gallery.

Was a great trip. Went over there with Lowthy and his bro/bros mate. Great people to go on a trip with as well.

Also we were out with a 5th member - a friend who is living there at the moment.

I was amazed at the quality of food, simply nothing you can even dream of here in a "Thai" restaurants that ive ever been to.

And was just amazing the price aswell, so cheap.

Big thumbs up to Sidey/Jason. Not many would know him around here, those on LS1 and FA will know him well.

I reckon he made the trip sensational. Showed us many great eating places, and as i love food... it was win-win.

Knew all the clubs/bars that were good and generally a bloody champion :P

So enough talking.

Onto some pics

Hotel room view

There was surprisingly very little graffiti

Headed to Bangkok, down the Sukhumvit area. Staying on Soi 18 if your more detailed with it all.

Was dodgy in some respect yes, but meh. I cant say i felt unsafe or anything. If anything i felt quite a bit safer than being in some places of Melb.

Not everywhere is the same as Australia, and than god as the world wouldn't be worth exploring if that was the case :D

I only saw one Cefiro the whole time actually.

And i didn't have my camera on me at the time... should i have been expecting to see 100's? :D

Sorry to disappoint you Shan, no ladyboy adventures!

I recognise a few of the pics from my holiday there last year. We were at The Pennisula which was on the main river in Bangkok, then headed down to Pattaya Beach but were in the country for 3 days.

Has been quiet without you! :D

I was there at bangkok earlier this year too. Made a trip to the HKS thailand, was quite a mission getting there as the taxi driver did not exactly knew where it was. However, he immediately know where it was after i pointed a ricey HKS sticker on his cab , lol. No skylines at the HKS shop , but s15's 350z's with rb26 in them with huge single conversions.

Like Ash said, food there is simply amazing, so is the price. Recommended holiday destination ~

You have a shop over there? lol! SIF not tell me that last week.

Was @ MBK on two occasions, so i would have had a look :worship:

Ye, i get how the roads work, took a bit of getting used to though.

The public transport absolutely shits on Melb though.

Man the Airport is just huge, my pics dont even begin to give you an idea... its just massive.

Its beyond big, takes nearly 15mins walk from the check-in to the boarding gate if you don't use the travelator things.

how much did you spend roughly for the whole trip? how was it there not speaking thai? did your companions speak thai or does everyone sorta understand english there?

thought it was all 3rd world over there, didnt know they had any decent cities lol. get to see any live muay thai?

Didnt need to speak Thai - Although my mate who lives there knows a reasonable amount as he lives there, so that helped a lot.

But most people speak english enough to get by we found.

You can pick up basic things if your good at that sort of thing.

Knowing how to explain in their language where your hotel is makes a MASSIVE difference ;)

There are a couple of websites for basic phrases, and hotel staff will help you if you ask.

I spent in the 5 days - $730 or there abouts. Massages, lunches/dinners, trains/taxi's, drinks/snacks/mid-arvo beers, also night club entries (the after 1am places have cover charge to pay off the cops).

We also partied pretty hard a few nights which was cheaper than Melb by a long shot, but still not exactly free.

Depending on how much shopping and stuff you purchase will dictate how much you spend i reckon. Stuff is cheap, but if you go on a rampage you will rack up a few hundred there easily.

I wouldnt call it 3rd world, but its poverty and riches living side-by-side almost.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
