I like Adelaide tap water :P thought it was better than Sydney till I got use to the taste here :(

B-Man if you can get a place with a lock up shed/garage and a dog and you should be right..Every city has its thieves :P

You will love the roads in SA I do miss them alot, just doesn't have the same feel here and there a bit too long..Everything is 20 minutes away and "just around the corner" in Adelaide :laugh:

Yeah - the Cosmo went at the beginning of the year - sold it to a young asian fella who then wrote it off - Kids of today and 500HP HKS powered 20B engines - I don' t know..... No respect for another person hard earned $$mega build$$

Not sure when making the move - we are still working things out - It's a tricky situation ...... god damn it.

yeah 20min trips ftw :laugh:

lol Deano i may have to pay you a visit to rip skids on your driveway :( thats what people do in salisbury to show there affection :P

as long as ya stop at the pizza shop first and bring a 6 pack lol

Pizza King's meat lovers pizzas are very nice.. $20 for a party size with extra toppings WOO! Nothing wrong with Salsibury EXCEPT for all the p-plated/teenage commy drivers who plant snakies and doughies out the front of my house at 4 in the morning!! But that's what you get when you live on a wide, dead-end road.. sigh :P

Although.. it is fun to scream profanities out the window. I believe stones are the next step :banana:

Sweet as!! Another tough FJ to hit the streets of adelaide!!! (if you come of course)

I've got the brother of ur turbo on mine the kkk26...i like it nice and streetable!

Ooo - Tell me how the K26 goes ! What do you have it on ? Tell me about max power and response.

I took a gamble with the KKK K27 - It 'looks' to be perfect from the size and specs - for my FJ

I same took a gamble cause I don't know anyone using one

Please share :P

Post up pics of the Cosmo!

And Madaz, how old was your old house?! For them to demolish it, it must have been a straw hut! :wave: They don't seem to demolish houses unless they're extra old these days.

Parts of Salisbury North... or 'Hawkesbury Park' is being redeveloped and made nice again. Most of the semi-detatched houses are being demolished and replaced with lovely new houses. Some of the semis are also being redecorated and some of them do look quite nice though. In the mean time, all the people living in the old semis are being moved away!

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllll the K26 doesn't to do badly, it made 163 on 8 psi on a hubpack dyno, all thats been done is a HKS high mount mani 32mm external gate zahust and FMIC...oh running standard ECU, leaning out badly and not revved about 6 grand due to lack of fuel...Meant to have made over 200rwkw on the same dyno on 12psi! I can't really remember what its like cause its been that long since i've driven it, but i can tell you it definatly ISN'T laggy!! From memory it made that full 8psi (woohoo) by round 3-3500k nice and linear and just pulled all that way to the 6k cutout....

Currently looking at getting some extra injectors + controller for it...I wanna do old school setup with it :kiss: Oh its all in a DR30, pics at www.pbase.com/stnzaboy/dr30

My only issue with that is where are they putting them all?? We live in Munno para west and they've started knocking down houses and stuff down Peachy road and around curtis road...Where they all going???? :kiss:

LOL - I am waaaaaaaaay too afraid to park my R34 on the road even for 5 minutes in Salis/Eliz - when I have to value out there I only park in people's driveways and peek out the window every 30 seconds.

But Steve is right - thieves don't steal from each other (plus they can't hold on to/look after anything nice for more than 5 minutes without hocking it) - they come down to nice suburbs like mine and steal all our good stuff, then take it to back the Eliz or Salis Trash Collectors (Cash Converters).

But, sweeping generalisations aside .... >_<

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
