hey guys n girls

me and a mate are flying up to Brisbane this Friday night to look at and buy a car Saturday ,

the car is in Holland Downs which is what, 40mins roughly from the air port?

just wondering if anyone would have any idea what the taxi fare from the airport to Holland Downs would be & if anyone knows of any motels in the area as we'll need

a bed or two for the night on the cheap .

also , if anyone would be able to give us a lift to a motel in that area we will give you cash

cheers heaps in advance !

Hey dude, you sure it's Holland Downs? There's a Holland Park- about 30 mins from the airport. How many of you travelling and what time you arriving? Might be able to supply said lift, can look at hotels for ya too, what's your budget? PM me if you need

11.25PM.. i'd just sleep at the airport.. or fly in to arrive early Sat morning.. you'd then be able to get the AirTrain (train leaves from the airport) to Central station (city).. then catch a taxi to holland park or bus..

Airtrain into Roma street station (middle of city basically), then head down to the busway and bus it down the busway (south... don't go the wrong direction) down to holland park. then there's a short/longer walk to get to where your going...Airtrain is a bit expensive, but bus tickets from the city out to hollandpark would only be less than 3 bucks each.

Edit: of course, dunno if they'd be running (bus probably would) at 11pm.

Hey here's some options- you can book a hotel near the airport (lastminute.com)for about 90- 120 for the night, cost about 10- 15 bucks in a cab though still (fri night has about $3.50-$4 flagfall plus dollar airport pickup fee), then I can give you a lift to holland park in the morning (I live quite close by and don't mind)

OR

I can pick you up fri night from the airport and take you to a motel nearer to Holland Park and you can cab to where you need to go in the morning- look on lastminute.com again and there's a couple of places for about 100-120 for a twin - greenslopes and carindale are close (10 bucks max in a cab) to where you need to go. Hotel Carindale has an Irish pub/nightclub so if you need to not be potentially distracted from sleep for your drive back down I'd suggest the greenslopes motel option.......

Let me know what you book and feel free to text call me 0403 486 876

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For your application, where you'll be at that 1/2" size or perhaps larger, yeah, excellent. Although not if you need a tight bending radius anywhere, because the corrugated stuff is not anywhere near as flexible as rubber/teflon cored stuff. But for turbo oil lines? No. Too big. They just don't do the corro stuff down at the ~1/4" ID size that you'd want, and if they did the OD of it would probably be a bit too fat for fitting it into the tight spaces available. I use hoses like that all the time for fuel gases (LPG, NG) and liquid fuels (HFO, diesels, waste oils). When we did the London Olympic cauldron, with the 204 individual burners on it, we had miles of the stuff (although a lot of that was teflon core). A bunch of that crap is still cluttering up the workshop, more than 2 years later!

      Would something like this be an option  https://processhose.com/products/configurable-metal-hoses/1-2-in-t316-stainless-steel-annular-corrugated-configurable-flexible-metal-hose-assembly-with-ends-t304-single-braid-masterflex-af5550.html I'm looking at this for replacing the OEM EGR when installing a aftermarket intake plenum

      The once piece tail shafts with cv type joints on either end are the ones that end up vibrating and the vibration is caused by the cv joint binding as it turns, I’ve also seen them explode from the binding

      Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.

      Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
