the annoying thing about jewellery is that they can charge whatever the f**k they want for something and make up whatever bullshit, and 95% of everyone dont know any different.

Yep. Bought a ring for 4 grand (got $200 discount) 2 weeks later the same ring was on sale for 2 grand.

thus why you get an independent valuation of the stone..

got the GIA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemological_Institute_of_America) prior to purchasing the stone.

valuation came in about 5-6K more than payed for it.

the jeweler discounted massively if you get him to make one, as he knows it not going to sit in the window for 12 months wasting him money and maybe need a redesign or be in a sale.

first time ever custom cheaper than off the shelf

pretty happy all in all.

Rebuilt engine.

+5kw, 500rpm earlier response... 10 degrees less timing... and 10 PSI less boost.

I should immediately put car up for sale

But I won't, because it would feel wrong for anyone else to break it

Good work, post up dyno graph?

Is the engine still being 'choked' by the turbro?

guys, sometimes i dont understand how f**king stupid some people can be.
im in the office doing some quotes, all the doors are closed, gates are locked shut.
dude just rocked up.
called the lane line- no answer, called me, no answer. then tried to push the gate open.....
omg this shit makes my hair hurt.

I can't actually post up the dyno graph because it kills Trent's dyno when trying to do a proper pull.

I'll have to try it on a roller dyno ;)

But I would like to confirm, cause if someone on the forums said they made 408kw (in a manual) at 21 psi (the dyno's gauge) on a GTX3076, with 225rwkw at 3000rpm you would quite rightly think u f**kin w0t m8? And laugh them off the forums.

(yes I ran the engine in beforehand.. my life is empty and I can afford to do 1300run in kms during the week)

Tony coming to Sandown day?

Probably not, my engine isn't where its supposed to be atm

Haha yeah hard about that!

Nah dont doubt your power figures, just curious what its like up top if its still like your previous graph, kinda showing that you have a turbo restriction.

But then again bigger turbo and youll have a million killer wasps which you probably dont want!

    • 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
