OK Sports fans, here it is.

Team LunchDate's first official meet thread. I am not interested in making a booking or collating numbers, so I dont really care if you notify your intention to attend or not, this thread is just here to make sure everyone is informed of when/where/what etc and the details dont get lost inside the whorethread, as usually is the case.

First up, let me stipulate that EVERYONE is welcome, regulars, n00bs, lurkers etc etc. We are a pretty laid back bunch of people and this is just about catching up, meeting and greeting and possibly putting some faces to names.

Friday 5th March 7am

Cafe Wotsisname

Cloisters Arcade

Perth

(pretty good range, and awesome prices. Fully cooked brekkie starts @ $10, and best of all, just down the hall from LowDown, possibly Perths greatest coffee)

If you are coming from anywhere in the CBD, the RED Cat bus stops right outside the front doors. For those driving in for the auspicious occasion, closest parking will be Mis Majestys Car Park, on Hay St.

I hope to see as many of you there as possible.

:blush:

yer, its the 4th, not the 5th. This thread was smashed out at high speed in between narcolepsy inducing project meetings, so if anyone finds any further inaccuracies...

Well, you can lick the cheese from the underside of my one eyed one horned blue veined custard chucker.

:(

I miss catch up mandate.

Even if it was only one time.

We miss you too, sweetcheeks. Maybe we can get bubba to glue some carpet to his back and we can all pretend....

I actually feel a bit sick...

Probably best you dont order the scrambled eggs then.....

So, its about time we all got off our collective asses and did this again eh?

I am proposing the date of Friday the 13th of May, mostly because it will be my last day at my current position and I will feel justified in rocking up late, fat and happy :P

I am keen for same place/time (7am, Cafe Wotziname, Cloisters Arcade) but if anyone has anywhere else they would like to try, then run it up the flag pole and we will see who salutes eh?

As before, this is open to ALL, so feel free to come put some names to faces all you n00bs out there.

    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
    • Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days
