Probably a bit unfair majority of wealthy / celebrities donate a lot of time and money compared to the average person but their status / wealth is held against them as not doing enough.

Obviously some so nothing but these days most do quite a bit I mean I donate to certain causes but that's about the level of my contribution - also know as doing sweet Fark all who could honestly say they do that much?

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

I folded and bought GTA V on my way home today...

It's installing now, while I'm watching Under the Dome and sipping on a slab of Asahi that Laith bought for me last summer when I helped change his radiator...

s Asahi a manly enough drink? Or should I inject something into my body directly? Reverse Spinal Tap it perhaps...

Plenty of anonymous philanthropic millionaires/billionaires who donate heaps to causes and that's great...it just shits me when it takes someone to get that disease before they decide that that one is the disease worthy of more money for researching a cure. Celebrities do it all the time, starting foundations and poster childing for them...why not do something like this before something affects you. Otherwise I have to simply hope that more celebrities get more diseases? Which isn't a terribly nice mindset. Like I said, it's great that charities are finally getting money...just annoys me that someone important or wealthy had to suffer before attention was given to it.

I've personally seen nothing of breast cancer but donated plenty to that cause, plus some others that don't really affect me personally. It's just human nature that we're often not aware of something until we are personally affected - it's just sad, that's all.

Also lots of wealthy people donate money, but very few would donate proportionate to the average person (e.g. percentage of income), yet base cost of living technically would allow them to donate a higher percentage of what they earn than the average person and still live comfortable. People like Mark Zuckerberg are few and far between!

Brahs, need to do my 100,000k major service; timing belt, spark plugs, etc. possibly even coilpacks too. Any places you guys can recommend to me? I got quoted $1300 at Chasers today.

abhi, go to GT Hyper and get a quote.

i did mine there for a price i wont mention but lets just say it was less.

go for an RB30 waterpump and a gates racing timing belt. use genuine nissan parts for the rest. this will be the cheapest and best performing option

kudos do a kit, if you want everything, which i think was relatively well priced when i did mine (although i didn't get it from them in the end). i did oem waterpump as well as timing belt also fwiw.

coilpacks, if going oem, hit up amamiya... like literally half the price, but just gotta wait for shipping. i couldn't wait when mine were on the way out sadly... (was before i did my major anyway) but sounds like yours are still in good order in the mean time!

edit: also if as if mr chef says you go gt hyper, it's pretty local since it's in springy (and i think you said you're in rowville)

Had to play catchup for like 10 pages.

Alot of alcohol was mentioned, some good, most bad.

Bacardi 151 you say pat? Try spirytus... Makes 151 look like alcohol free wine

but this post won, 95% alcohol, and you can pretend its vodka and put it in a 375ml smirnoff flask, and have everyone do "vodka" shots.

OH YES, vodka shots.

Granted. Probably Australia is lagging behind if you look at the USA nearly all celebs, sports stars even of average (by there comrades) standards have charities/foundations I spose not enough rich people here.

A lot of people are following the gates foundation but I guess the really good people do these things without fuss.

Her names Tyramasue or UGABOOGABOOGABOO or something ?

Point is,

I have no point

Thanks brahs, appreciate it! Yeah i'm in rowville so I'll give GT Hyper a buzz tomorrow morning. As much as i'd like to do a kit I don't have the time and also my car's sitting on 114***k's, bought it at 110 but didn't go by the guy I bought it off saying he did a service on it at 105 as I checked and had to top oil and coolant. Cheers again guys! :cheers:

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By 677_GTR · Posted

      Hi guys, I’m new to the GTR scene. Picked up an R33 GTR earlier this year that needs a lot of love. I’ve been going through the hot side, changing all the gaskets and while it was all off I managed to score a set of -9s. It still had the stock ceramics so I was pretty happy to get the 2860s.  I live in a small country in the pacific with 0 performance car scene. No dyno’s no performance parts, let alone stock parts for a skyline. I order everything from Australia and do it myself. This means I’ll be running the stock ECU. Maybe down the track I’ll get an aftermarket set up and do a remote tune.  Will the car run -9s on stock tune safely?  I have a very heavy foot so I really hope so 😂   thanks guys

      Leaking Rear Subframe Bushing?

      perfect, no rush to address the leaking bush then, it's not doing much/anything

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not sure if it will bolt up, but.... I'm reasonably sure that the ID of the runners is somewhat smaller on the NAs. So it probably wouldn't be a good match at the flange where the top and bottom meet. So that would be a reason to not do it. And the skinny runners would be the bit you're keeping, which would be a reason to no do it. You'd want the big runners if you were doing any work to swap stuff. Why not just use what you've got, like nearly everyone else who has +T'd an NA? You don't need or want the TCS throttle or other stuff that is specifically DET inlet/crossover.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Makes sense. For actuators, if the pressure itself isn't adjustable, that would mean I'd need to think about 2 different actuators with 2 different pressures on paper in order for them to work at the same time if the turbos behave differently. So measure the difference in psi needed to move both, and then get an actuator to match that difference. Assuming I cant get rid of it by adjusting the arms.  You're exactly right, never happens in gear 1 or 2. I can occasionally get it in gear 3 if going uphill but its very small. Only ever in 4 and 5. Seems kind of backwards that one of the points of VCAM is faster spool but if it introduces shuffle then it actually slows spool down.
