Apparently, they're looking at building Costco somewhere on High St or around Epping.

And where Pipeworks is in Cambelfield, that's going to be Ikea opening early next year....

Yeah was wonder what they were going to build where pipeworks was

The CostCo would have to be near the new Melbourne markets, plenty of land there anyway

Stance? Probably not. Wouldn't mind being fairly aggressive, though. Wheels are still awhile away... not to mention coilovers as well.

Alvin, why not just go to the new Ringwood one?

Also not sure about those Kando turbos, could swear I've read some evooz thread(s) which do not recommend... Unless I'm thinking of something else.

Iirc people run them and they are actually really good, however they say stay away from the td06-20g as they get a lot of compressor surge

Not sure about the new comp covers that have the anti surge comp covers though, already had my 8mr so stopped looking into turbos

i already have dump and front pipe ($100 for both)

licp link blocked at work for some reason

i also have a turbotech lying around but cant find it.... will be either that or a 2nd hand 3port for like $75

hey anyone got any work going?

friend of mine has moved down from cairns. he will do anything (lol) but has been working in hospitality for the last 4 years.

let me know if you have anything guys!

nab collections call centre will be hiring in January through Randstad.

Great way to start banking career... i was there for a few months only before moving on to better jobs

thanks hamish, ill tell him to look into it.

What scotch would you buy for $50 Hamish? Also $100-$200? I'm building a collection and don't know heaps about good scotch (translation: haven't heard any brands mentioned in rap songs)

under $60 go for any of the following: (always quoting dan murphy's prices)

glenlivet 12

Balentines 12

Johnny Walker Black Label

Dimple 15 Year

glenlfiddich 12

Glenrothers reserve

Johnny Walker Double Black Label

Glenmorangie original

not far under $100 go for any of these:

Macallan 12

Ballantynes 17

Glenlivet 15

Glenfarclas 12

Johny Green if you can find it as production stopped in 2012 and it was their only blended malt (I have a bottle for Orlando as it was his birth year)

if buying for a serious whisky drinker also consider:

Lagavulin 16yr (very strong taste - not for a beginner scitch drinker)

Laphroig Quater Cask (same deal as Lagavulin)

Tallisker Distillers edition

If starting out with scotch and not sure, either buy the glenlivet 12 for $45 or Yamazaki 12 for $95

Personally I would recommend the Yamazaki if you want to start a life long addiction that will likely bankrupt you

shit... I read $100 - $200 as around $100...

ok under $200:

Yamazaki 12

Nikka 12

Nikka 17 single malt or blend

Hibiki 17

Highland Park 18

Macallan 18

Glenfarclas 25

Tallisker 18

Caol Ila distillers edition

Johny blue if not only for the bottle (the inch thick glass one)

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
