Blue nile is good, I was going to buy it from there. Their stock range is massive, only issue I had was that you can't actually see the diamond.

I went with JamesAllen.com. They have pictures of the actual diamond, which is important if you are looking for inclusions.

From then you can pick a couple and then an opinion from a geologist of their opinion of what they can believe is the best diamond out of the few diamonds you have picked.

I spent a little more, 5-10% to go though a jeweler, only as they have a guarantee, ie when it arrives if I'm unhappy with it I can decline it.

as for tiffanies, the one we wanted there was close to 30K.....said jeweler is doing same setting in platinum for around 1/3 the price.

gotta have a wasteland table brah dont forget the invites :P

Just be prepared to bring a machete, as the last Viet/Cambo wedding I went to someone got bottled :wacko:

Yeah for piece of mind, being able to see it in person can't go wrong with a local jeweller. I would say when choosing a diamond, one with a GIA certificate is preferable.

Bluenile do offer a 60 day money back guarantee no questions asked, but being in America it would be a pain in the ass if you did have to return it.

yeah this is a GIA one,

we went thought a few found one that was right size and color and clarity, he investigated it was all good so shipping it over, he will do another check then we get to come in and confirm it.

plus he came recommended from 3-4 of Katie's friends for doing their custom rings.

should have finished product in 2-3 weeks

Don't know how you can still use a 3, mine was so slow by the time I got rid of it I was lucky not to throw it at a wall everytime I used it..

I'm still using a 3GS. Battery life is starting to die in the arse as I've had it for 3 years.

think the bike will be sitting under cover for a while

probably a bad idea buying one this time of year....

Sunday is looking dry, will try to organise a ride.

Got a picture?

You too Alex, somewhere on the T & Co website?

Our one should look similar to this one:

If it's that lighter coloured blue, then I think you should stick to silver wheels...

its gun metal grey with a bit of blue through it.

As long as Rimon is on our table we'll be fine

rofl.

hole cut under the battery in an R32 GTST for the intercooler, confusion as to whether i cover it up or not, as ill just be making a hole again after i get a rwc...

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
