Some of you know that I'm married to a rather understanding lady that shares my passion for things with wheels. She knows of my late night meetings with "the other woman", the one with the big, red R on her hind quarters. With the death of my favorite money tree(I blame the drought), the 32 has slowed in it's overhaul plans. So, I've been flirting with an old flame...

Carbon Fibre. Black gold. The über strength to weight material. Oh, how I love thee!

My car has some select parts made of my favorite composite, but I want more. MORE! This material fascinates me so much, I'm ready to tale the next step. So, I'm putting it out to you all: I want to learn how to make Carbon Fibre. I don't want to read web pages, I want hands on with someone who's done it before. Who knows someone? A course I might take? Experience counts, people!

I'm listening! PM's accepted as well...

do a google search for "DIY vacuum forming".

I made my own vacuum former using parts from a refrigerator compressor I had lying around and make some small parts with it... also helps with getting air out of resin mixtures and thermoforming plastics.

Now we're talking! When F. M. kicks in a suggestion, I'll be listening! Ta!

If anyone here was to "turn to the darkside" it wouldnt be Jayce, Ive never met a bigger Skyline tragic :)

To me, this is not just music to my ears, but a huge compliment! Nissan Skyline for life! Need proof? Ask me about an ages old tattoo I have...

Welcome back, Gus!

And the CF thing will be further researched in days to come; stay tuned!

PICS!!!!!

And Petey has already told me I'm not allowed to have GTR tattooed anywhere on my body :)

I guess that means I'm off his list then!!

I'll see if I can organise a decent pic'...

Hehe he may like it I just don't think he wants to see it on his wife!! :)

You know he wants it, go on!

Seriously, tho'; the GT-R was always a long term dream of mine, and will stay with me until...well, it doesn't bear thinking about! So the tattoo was a respect thing for me...and will also stay with me to the grave!!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
