just wondering how many people in the forums are from this lovely town?

Well there's me in town..... infrequently. There's heaps of nice clean Skylines around I reckon, saw 2 very tidy examples today, silver job & a white one down the main drag about 2-ish, I've been outta town for a while but there were 4 Stags (counting mine) around that I knew of last time I was in town....a 260RS out in Kambodia as well. Dunno if they are all still around or all on the forum or active but. Problem is work rosters. nightshift, 8 & 6, month on week off..fifo, dido..satphone comms in the boonies.....whatever. One of these days I would like to take a run with the local Nissan boys to the Broad Arrow Tavern or Widgiemootha Roadhouse or just somewhere, for a burger (excuse for run/pics/say gidday)

Work rosters rule,

Gotta grab it while you can,

Cheers GW :miner: out.

My mum worked in a medical clinic at Kalgoorlie last year.

I've being there about 3 times, driving there is a pain in the ass especially when you are driving around in a white Camry... the most boring-est car in the world.

Not to mention on the way there, from the 1/2 way point (from Merredin onwards), the over-taking lanes disappears all together & overtaking 3 stage road trains is annoying as hell in a underpowered Camry.

The only import I've seen while I was there was a Soarer, otherwise all I see is a bunch of bogans driving around in their Chevy badged bogandores.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
