G'day, Shane, Chad, Martin, Matty, Brendan, Ryan, Steve, Vu, Krishy, lads, many thanks for all your kind words.

The article turned out really well, a few minor technical spec's and details lost in translation but all in all it turned out better than I could have hoped for. In all honesty, the thanks goes to Guy Bowden, Jason Round and the writer - who's name escapes me at the moment.

And Shane, mate I have not forgotten my EH trophy, not at all ! I've been trying to get some spare time to head down to the workshop (assuming it's still there and they haven't got sick of it gathering dust :)) for the last couple of months. I'm hoping I can get away from work early tomorrow and will head that way in an effort to pick it up.

If any of you are heading down to the Adelaide Hills Tarmac Rally, I'll be marshalling at the Myponga stage on Saturday morning - don't you just love 5am starts. If you are down that way be sure to say g'day.

Hey mate,

Thanks. I popped into the shop a month or so back and saw your beast there, the other beast that is. Hopefully it's finished sooner rather than later mate.

Not yet. I just went with a basic upgrade, slotted rotors, pads, lines etc. Down the track a bit I'll put aside some dollars and when I do, it will be a set-up like you have access to that I will go for!

How is 34 coming along?

Hey stranger, not seen you for long time! Saw you at meet for 6am cruise but thought you were coming

so could catch up later, oh well, next time. Got all your wheel nuts on tight now? ha ha......

Good to see some of the original members still on here, you are one of the rare few who joined before me!

Cheers, John

Well im waiting for the Supra to be finished bloody picked it up around christmas, took it back for 30 psi tune and we found out the head had broken springs and stuff. So when that one is finished the 34 can get the necessary cooling system and engine rebuild done.

But yeh when your ready man on the brakes, i gotta say i have no complaints about them whatsoever, and the Supra will be getting the same package, i also have knowledge that my set came out of the same factory that builds the Patented Greddy Grex package.

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
