I was in a meeting yesterday with civil engineers talking about how to dispose of oil an PCB contaminated soil. if te tests come up ok, they can mix it with 2% concrete and bury it :/

on a side note, I got a message from a pulsar guy that he is currently importing a GTiR long motor from Japan that has been built with tomei parts and strokes to 2.2, and would sell it to me if I want it...

i remember doing an environmental module, about bio remediation on oil and pcb contaminated soils, not sure about the mechanics of the whole process as you know how uni modules are, they just scratch the surface and give you a degree at the end of it all, knowing not much more than before enrolment.

that's what I liked about TAFE, rather than spending countless hours over the time of the course learning about how formulas transcribes to what we want to do with it, they just gave us the formula and said now apply to these scenarios... dodged a lot of calculus. we all walked away saying I can do that, but I can't tell you why it works

Lotus Exige S - V6 Supercharged ; 258kw @ 1100kg ; 0-100 in 3.8s

$140,000 - worth the money? /discuss

so assuming 220rwkw @ 1100kg = approx 200rwkw/tonne

my view is that the 200rwkw / tonne is the power to weight milestone a car needs to reach to be in the serious fun zone....

equivalent in other cars people will be able to relate to:

ke70 - 160rwkw

mx5 - 200rwkw

s chassis - 250rwkw

gtst - 270rwkw

evo - 280awkw

gtr - 300rwkw

recent v8 falcodore - 360rwkw

I'd say yes, it will be extreme fun and decent value compared to itallian offerings, but nothing i'd look into.

considering what you could have for a track day for $140k its bad value.

and no i wouldn't even dream of using one for a daily/track car

in b4 leigh dickbags on about v8 torque and how this somehow makes up for the car weighing more than the third moon of jupiter

(every one of those cars has a unique feature that puts them ahead of the others in some way, which is why i chose them)

oh haha, thought there was more to it. Like Leigh being denied warranty for breaking something.

Ford built tuff! (hopefully don't break anything next week at the drags)

long live teh GT

don't speak too soon.. the GS came from factory with a dicky water pump that will probably need replacing

i'm not even planning to go for graduation.

from all accounts, its just a pointless waste of time sweltering in a hot and humid hall.

I didn't originally plan on going, but knew I would regret it later. and keeps family happy

Fkn aye!

Found out I don't need a VIV certificate to register my car as there is a 15 year exemption for it

Dat benefit of owning an old car lol

17 years here brah

2pac was still alive when my car was new shiiiit

Alvin, any luck with grad positions?
Got nothing from my end..... :unsure:

This is why I like to ask people how and why it works, just for the lolz. hahaha

Stuff waiting around all day just to go up and receive your certificate for 10 secs!

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
