h'ok people. im doing a shoot with a mate tomorrow (as in, monday), were thinking of something industrial,

so i need ideas/locations of abandoned/disused industrial sites or similiar that are relatively easy to access and mostly free from security. the only ones i can think of are either long gone, overused, or just plain boring.

so, anyone?

try port adelaide woolshed areas : ie: Crozier st

or

Paracombe cold stores on Paracombe road,

Get into the old clipsal premises?

or the carpark of 101 Cavan road. its the back of the Gerard factories. gates should be open 7-6

they are my best ideas for 8am

lol. dont like my chances of fitting that under my guards.

this is a 10 +12 on the front;

and rear;

looks good, but utterly useless. rear guards were sitting properly on the tyre, i had to jack it up to get the card in there.

ill probably go for 9 +15 all round, gives me an extra 10mm or so of clearance all round to play with the alignment (ie, less camber)

Weak as, S14s have huge guards. The pic of your fronts is nearly spot on, just needs less tyre.

Yeah, thought I saw some dude on ns running 18x10+12 AVS Model 5's with a 235/40 all round a like 0 camber with a slight roll on the guards. Looked mint

does anyone down south have a heat gun i can borrow for an hour or so?

gotta finish pulling off that bluey green pin stripping on the side of the car.

cheers

use wax and grease remover, soak it on a rag they come right off , then rewax the car

heat gun can bubbles your paint off

Had a good laugh about 10 minutes ago. Not really funny, but the circumstances leading up to it ... and the karma ... was definitely funny.

Had some mid 40yo guy in a new BMW 650 'supercar' trying to encourage me to race him just on the southern side of the city. Had some bimbo blonde in the passenger seat, and he had the whole 'chewing gum' thing going on. First set of lights I pull up next to him, he takes a long hard stare, then when the lights go green he rockets off occupying both lanes and breaking the speed limit easily. Next set of lights, again I pull up next to him, and he's now trashing my car in front of the bimbo, using words like "hoon" and "jap crap". Lights go green and again he rockets off, and I cruise off again obeying the speed limit. Next set of lights I'm next to him again (why the rush? lol) and this time he's creeping the car forward in 'hop' motions and staring at me. Then the lights for cars to turn right only go green, but he rockets off ... straight into a Falcon! 'Bang' ... sucked in!

I cruised around the crash and pull over. I'm giving my details to the innocent party for their claim, whilst laughing at the BMW (small dick) idiot the whole time. He is a mix of embarassment and anger (prob at me laughing at him). It was with great pleasure I say to him "So who's the hoon?" before walking back to my car and driving off! Classic karma!

Mate, words cannot describe how f**king hilarious it was. I couldn't stop laughing. Still chuckling now. Explained to the guy who got hit, why I was laughing, and he agreed "so it was karma then eh? Too bad I got in his way". Yeah too bad for him, but his car is still driveable I'm sure ... the BMW was leaking coolant all over the place. :(

lol what a turd

typical mid life crisis behavour eh.... buy an expensive car, get the token blonde and look down upon everyone else (because it makes you feel better, right?) lol... reminds me of the dude in F&F with the ferrari - same sorta bad attitude

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
