Think I will getting a letter from customs either tomorrow or early next week about some parts I got coming in.

Been 1week already in customs awaiting approvel to send out to me. Should be 4-7days delivered instead.

Heard a few interesting theories about what they want to do to fix it up.

This BP thing is just silly, surely with the amount of off-shore drilling going on these days, you would have a plan to stop this yeah? WRONG!

I say just sikaflex that shit.

It's not just BP you know?

It's the company that owns the rig and the company that concreted the base. All of them are at fault yet the media only play up on the big name. There's also a chance this could be the end of BP as their stock prices have dropped dramaticlly so only time will tell.

The reason why it's taking so long to fix is because they have to deviate a new well from a few km away to force the mud through the original well that they tapped into. They will have to re sleeve the old well which is going to be hard work as the psi is so high from the escaping gas which is forcing the oil out.

The mud that they are using has some chemical base which doesn't allow gases to go through it. This will slow the oil flow till it's eventually stopped and then use the new well drilled to continue with the remaining oil.

so, i have been hammering my car loan to get it out of the way

i have $77 left,

if i pay that $77 right now, i have to pay a $300 fee to close the loan early.

FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BANK SA!

thats the case with every loan Craig! It sucks.

That's why (depending on the purpose) I'll use a credit card with 12mths interest free terms. Zero interest and I can pay it out in less than 12 months with no BS payout fee.

:blink:

^ thats the same with my loan, the fixed interest one anyway.

Also seen your trackie at Garage 7 today Craig, looks tough as a badly cooked steak with the wheels spaced out.

would have seen my black coupe there too!

If you can afford to pay out a 15k+ loan in 12 months, a $300 fee isnt much to worry about!

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
