GTX3076

2.8 (comp is supposedly 8.2) - Stock exhaust manifold, stock airbox, 3in exhaust, automatic transmission (the slip up top was 8% through it), return flow cooler, etc.

As for how it occurred.. it really did occur at about 30kmh, driving in 4th gear (which is 5th for you manual people) minding my own business turning right, UNDER the 'advisory' speed for that corner.

I had 30 eggs in the passenger seat. None of them cracked. I hope this leads Mr Shannons Assessor to believe me when I say I wasn't driving like a tool in the rain and it was a low speed impact.

See photos I linked a few posts above with the imgur link

Or I'll just post it again -> http://imgur.com/a/2JKpW

Pretty much had a direct impact on both passenger side wheels - whatever holds them straight (i.e, rods of which I do not know/cannot define/of unknown origin) are clearly snapped or bent. Or I just got a free wheel alignment of about 30 degrees of toe at the rear, and a front passenger wheel which decides it doesn't have time to listen to the steering rack anymore.

There's a good fist/sized (in volume) dent in the front bumper too, right under the front indicator on the passenger side. I didn't take a photo of that cause I dunno, I was busy being rained on, and such.

it was right here -> https://goo.gl/maps/r4XxQ

There's a farm here -> https://goo.gl/maps/SAsmh that claims to sell the best eggs in the world. They're really good. What better thing to randomly do on a sunday than taking a nice relaxed drive through the hills to buy eggs, to just enjoy the fact your car is finally working, because it's far too wet to do any 'spirited' driving?

People saw the dyno sheet and asked me what its like to drive... I don't even know.

I'm just going to cry myself to sleep now.

Don't ever go to burwood hwy tepanyake. Had to go for a bday and now I'm f**ked with food poisoning.

Fkn disgraceful cooks were using the spatulas to turn the lights on/off and and used the same cloth the waitresses used to clean the tables and chairs to oil the stove

They don't even know how to fkn cook. f**king pissed me off more when you here some dumb f**k go oh he's a good chef.

Inb4 Pat launches into tirade about 80% of chefs meeting this stereotype

that's fair, 80% of cooks/chef absolutely suck anus.

I worked f**king hard not to be in that 80% so stereotype away! ;)

Sad to hear about the accident!

But that is an awesome dyno graph!

Got specs on the Engine build?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
