I just head that there was a big fire at Queen Street smash last night. anyone know the full story of what happened? Apparently some cars were damaged in the blaze and the shop was smoke damaged but didn't burn down.

maybe a disgruntled punter? dunno.gif

what he said.

I have a mate who had a car at their warehouse - didn't have any damage because the warehouse wasn't burnt down - just the shop........He mentioned it sounds a bit dodgy....................... :thumbsup:

I have my opinions based off some other things though :|

very funny. even funnier for blitz and doof being the 2nd and 3rd to get pedantic about it being thursday morning not thursday night. it's awesome when someone points something out, then two more people do it as well. you butt pirates. I ought to spank you both. slap.gif

obviously it was news to me. and having scanned the forum and not seen any mention of it I am guessing it's news to a lot of others too. I promise I'll go back to my factory and fire my news monitoring team, and threaten the shit out of the fact checking team too.

anyway, I was just curious to find out if anyone knew anything about what exactly happened, any particular cars damaged etc?

take it as a grain of salt..

But was speaking to someone today who assosiate's with QSS, he told me about the incident, "supposedly" 2 Ferrari's, S15 and some other cars (can't remember) got torched..

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
