lol, thanks guys. ;) just quietly I turn 28 today and feel every bit the old cnt that I am. :D

this birthday is on track to be amongst the most memorable for all the wrong reasons. I was woken up at 5:30am by some arse clowns outside my apartment, got a glass of water went back to bed not feeling so good. then at 8am I get a call from my dad (expecting happy birthday son). it's to tell me a car down the road from his house was torched at 5:30am and his daihatsu was stolen. no big deal you think, $1000 daihatsu, who cares? well my nismo pro 2 way LSD, with GTS4 4.375:1 diff gears all nicely set-up in a 32 GTR housing was in the boot. :D I'm pretty fcked now as I've already fitted the front GTS4 gears into my engine so car is not going anywhere now with rear GTR gears and front GTS4 gears (well except in RWD). I have no doubt the car will be torched and the theives never caught. Car thieves in NSW have more chance of getting struck by lightening than they do of being charged and convicted in NSW. Police will be on you like glue should you speed, or own a loud car, or commit a heinous crime like smoking a joint but car thieves, burglars and pricks who assault old people can live worry free on the dole in their comfy government housing getting drugged up on our tax sponsored welfare. Great system we have here.

Anyway, enough of my moaning. :D Thanks for the kind wishes guys, it cheers the salty old baron up. :)

weekend plans included getting drunk tonight and staying that way till monday night. :)

Happy birthday Richard!

Is the charade you're talking about the little white one?

hey mate, nah have never had or been in a white charade. it is a red applause. :D UFQ 739 I think.

car doesn't matter. it's not worth anything. my dad only kept it as it was not worth any money and I asked him to keep it for me to use for parts etc. carried gearboxes, engines, diffs, wheels etc. it was great for that stuff. I just want my diff back. it's going to be a bitch to replace. :)

well all is well. My dad knowing full well the police would not exactly be issuing an APB to find his car took it upon himself to drive around between chatswood and brookvale and eventually came across the car in chatswood just 3 blocks from the police station. he figured that since they torched the last car that was what would be in store for ours and it would fk the diff. he knew they wouldn't do it during the day but would probably do it tonight, so the best chance of getting it back would be today. anyway he called the cops and it turns out they have arrested the litttle butt monkey as he robbed a few houses and was caught trying it again. lucky my dad found the car as the bloke had left half a can of petrol in there reading for tonights torching... forensics is checking the car for prints, skin and dna right now. so it looks like he may finally feel some justice afterall. bit rough that the police couldn't trip over a car that was literall 1 single right hand turn away from where they park their cars.... about 150 meters away.

anyway, it put a smile on my face. :P

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
