Nice new Avatar Cara :)

I got my car back today, was the manifold turbo gasket that had blown out, the bolts had stretched a little and exhaust began to escape, if i had tightened them up as soon as i heard it i wouldn't of had to replace the gaskets. So $280 later they are replaced with genuine nissan gaskets, and a bag with what was left of said old gaskets.

wont let me submit the online form ruby.. so ill have to get a copy off damo and fill it in..

Craig had the same problem. Damn online crap :D PM me your details (name, addy, phone etc) and I'll sign you up. Do you have the bank details? I'll PM those to you too if not.

Thats not too bad really. I pulled apart mine on the weekend and found $700 worth of things to replace (on top of what I already had known about), thats parts with me doing the labour. :D

Yeah, i could have saved myself about $200 by doing the work myself...but i wouldn't have trusted my workmanship in doing it. Sure it probably isn't that hard to do, just more time consuming then anything, plus he found the tie rod ends not installed correctly, and also replaced the hose clamps on my power steering to try and stop it from leaking.

just got my detailed tax invoice from garage 7

.........all 3 pages lol

I got a 3 page invoice from Tilbrooks in my little car file. I bet you can imagine how not cheap that was, pretty sure the labour it self came to 4k :)

Money well spent i recon. Car has been pushed very hard at the track many many times and the engine is still going strong, same can not be said for many other Rb26 powered cars.

this is true. ive spent much on labour at my preferred mechanics (see below) because each time i tell em to do something, they do it.

woot

-D

Spot on, 26's are great provided you do things right... the FIRST TIME

thats good to hear chad, would suck a fair bit if you had spent alot of money for things to go wrong all the time....

Matty T who's doing your cage?

Lance quoted me 2200 for a full weld in then a couple of hundred extra to have the cage go through the fire wall to the strut towers which im defiantly doing, so around 2500 for a full weld in, which i thought was cheap :(

Earliest they can do it is July :).

hrm, carl williams bashed to death on the day the media revealed his daughter is getting private school fees paid by vic police

my guess is he ratted someone out in exchange for the cash and the inmates put 2+2 together

ahh fun stuff. who needs reality tv when u have reality to keep u entertained? heh

-D

Looking more likely

http://www.smh.com.au/national/as-the-rumo...tml?autostart=1

"Police will investigate if one of those rumours - that Williams had abandoned the code of silence and become a police informer - was the reason he was fatally bashed yesterday inside the maximum security Barwon Prison." and

"Rumours have been circulating in the underworld for nearly 12 months Williams was trying to cut a deal where he would give evidence in major cases in return for a substantial reduction in his crushing jail term."

and Cronic you were spot on too, apparently it was a 'friend' who did it....

-D

Ben, the guy was a murdering weasel that got others to do his dirty work for him.

Can't believe the amount of peeps on other forums that are saying RIP, like he's a hero or something.........Mother Theresa didn't get this sort of attention, lol.

Just hope he made his peace with the big fella in the sky before biting the bullett.

do iiiiit. dont make me finish mine before you :(

random question, who's reputable to send rocker covers to for painting?

Paint them yourself Matty, I did my 31 covers 8 years ago with bright red VHT paint and they still look show room fresh.

and if your keen on some airbrushing flames or ? then pm me I might be able to hook you up

just make sure the rocker cover is spotless outside and a light scuff with a scotchbright, the logo if its has one can be removed and polished up or ?

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
