Its been a few months since I have sold my GTR. Its been quite depressing to tell you the truth. Three months without any adrenalin rush has driven me crazy.

So I've booked in a Skydiving session on Saturday.

Not sure what to expect, I am confident as usual :nyaanyaa:

Anyone else done it before, any tips at all?

I'm going to look into getting a certification (obviously a few more sessions to follow) and then be able to jump alone.

It's the tandem jump by the way, 10,000 feet off Bell's beach.

For all you guys who love posting pics - make sure its not of a person who's parachute failed !!

My tip is to hold on tight and don't forget to enjoy the ride. You never know when it's your last :rofl:

Just kidding. When I did it, it was heaps of fun! Just enjoy the experience and try to not to get caught up in all the extra stuff they try to sell you. The DVD at the end is pretty good but that's bout it.

Ash: I'm full of confidence mate, I don't see myself hesitating to jump at all. In fact to prove all my family and friends wrong it will be on taped on DVD. Lets hope I prove them wrong :rofl:

Leewah: I'm hoping it will be full of fun. They did say it will be around 40seconds of free fall and around 6-7 mins of parachuting.

Do the Accelerated freefall course, 2 day course then you get to jump by yourself (ie no tandem) I didn't want no big fat hairy guy strapped to my ass.... ;)

Did that a few years ago, pretty good... doesn't feel like your falling, just feels like you stick your head out of a car window at 200k/h :)

It's awsome man, everyone should do it at least once.....

and you don't even have to jump, the person your attached to does and you just get pushed.

enjoy it because it will be over quickly...

..potentially very quickly

You'll be back. You miss our weather too much, and all you have to drink up there is xxxx.

My girlfriend has a skydiving voucher she got for her birthday, i would love to do it over the x-mas break this year.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
