um choas and nismoman18 went to some hill near hinze dam. I would have linked the photo but I forgot what it looked like. its overlooks surfers.

the port of brisbane has heaps of nice spots.

roma street has that roundabout next to the roma street station.

yar, been there

if i can keep the car nice and clean until the weekend, ill go for a punt down there and take some pix

On a side note, who's doing the detailing, whats getting done and how much is it going to cost?

we called a few places, but ended up going with the closest one

they are D&W Detailers and they work under Fair Deal Cars at Annerley on Ipswich road

gonna cost 200 bux for the full cut and polish and we are getting the insides all done as well (all shampooed and nice and clean)

been meaning to get it done for ages and since woman scraped the side of the car on the garage the other day, it was extra motivation to get it all cleaned up

shit!

best places are where water is almost perfectly in line with the land

IE if the water rose even a little, it would flood

park car close to water as u can, go out in the water,

hopefully its either nice and sunny, sunset or sunrise

and u should get a nice photo with the contrast of the sun along your car, the reflection of your car in the water, and if on the right angle, it will look like your car is sitting on the water

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
