Reece your in Townsville right?

I've seen a stock standard blue coupe while i was in Airlie a few months ago, my sister lives in Airlie and texted me the other day saying she saw it again. Might be the same one?

Yeah dude. It very well could be. Stock standard on 18's I believe, it looked very clean though. Good to see another one up here.

Oi, next time you're in Airlie feel free to let us know and I'll see if I can come down and see your beast and go for a cruise.

Yep that was it, we were going opposite ways i literally threw my arm out the window and waved as he went passed but i don't think he saw me. It had all the badges on it too.

Yeah mate for sure, i'm actually going to be in Townsville late March with my missus i will more than likely be driving up there too so i will let her go see her friends and shit and i'll come meet you that sounds good.

Was driving next to a white 350gt coupe on high street road about 20 minutes ago. Looked real clean!

i read that as high street and shit myself because my car isnt parked in its normal place today and i work on high street...

but its ok.. car is safe (i checked) and you said high street road :P

saw a black V35 coupe with rear wing and some shadow chrome 18's (- maybe Weds tc01's?) at maccas carpark about 8.30am this morning in Clayton. Looked super clean. I was half asleep so didn't register it until it was driving straight at me.

Spotted a V35 today around 12:30 in Gladstone QLD, light blue color, rolling on stock rays 18s, on Dawson hwy/rd at the lights near the night owl center. Didn't catch the plates, but it must be new to town because the only one I have seen is white.

Saw Silver Coupe parked in the 15 minute zone at emu plains train station, also anyone on here own the white 350GT sedan that always parked behind subway on high st in penrith? always sits there along with a decked out EVO

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
