So at court - observing not guilty of anything! I truly don't think I've seen so many polished turds in one place.

You just squeezed in with a week to spare ;) Renew for another year at the cruise or we'll throw eggs at your car and chip off all the bog from the rear guards.

so suit cases:

I really like Samsonite.

Strong good warranty and light, but yeah $$$

my suitcase, suit bag and carry on all Samsonite and moving up to this one next week:

Katie uses antler nearly as light and very happy with that.

But alot comes down to how often you use it.

If it's once a year do you want to spend 5-600 on a suitcase, probably not.

if looking at something a little cheaper I strongly recommend American Tourister:

http://www.strandbags.com.au/luggage?filterset=filters&filter=BRAND&filtervalue=American+Tourister

it's Samsonite "cheaper" brand. so they slowly get the older Samsonite tech and good build quality.

Also never buy black unless you want to be one of those folks that has to check every bag on the carousel

.and customize it a bit.

All those free stickers you get with car parts i've been putting on each side of my old one so I can spot it a mile away.

Even some ribbon or a strap, just something to help spot it from a distance when some-one has grabbed the wrong bag is is heading off with yours.(yes this happened to me)

Ha that's happened to me also, mine was leopard print though.

I have stickers all over my suitcases too :)

Dress rehearsal for the upcoming spring racing carnival

mate bought an R33 GTR, that had been in a small accident, got it home, thing wont spark or start, fuel pump wont engage.
proper dead.
then we found out the previous owner had ripped half the fuses out and drained the tank before insurance looked at it to ensure he gets paid out lol.
all good besides a cooked ecu.
feels good helping dream boats after being through hell and back with the same shit.

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
