Almost bought a chocolate borderline champagne diamond at a charity auction; they got tired of no one bidding on it so halved the reserve price...still no bids. Cheaper than anything I saw on the internet.

when we were shopping diamonds, this shop tried to push me into buying a diamond that had a bug in it...

like it was cool and all as the bug must have been prehistoric... but do you think my wife would honestly want that? FFS lol

What you want to know? And it's really budget then work back from there to get best you can for your money

My mate wants some direction on where to go/where to look. His budget (if i can remember) is around 15k. No more than 18ish. Just wants a general direction on where to look for rocks. I remember tony got it from the states or something?

Just a kick starter so he can start looking

For that budget he will get a good rock I used a guy in the city like a broker basically saved heaps comapred to what stores offered and got a significantly better diamond

I didn't go for biggest rock possible went for balance of size, cut, color, clarity ended up with a 1.2ct E could have got a 3ct g for a bit more but it looked like a rock from diva

I can pm his details of u want but he doesn't stuff around so only go see him if your genuine

Well with the shitty exchange rate these days savings wont be as much but should still be cheaper. From memory my diamond from the states was over half the price compared to Aus

$15k for diamond? Baller!

My opinion is cut is the most important. It determines the 'brilliance' and sparkle

Clarity and colour. Just go for the best that the eye can see. Why pay for double for imperfections that you can only see under a micrscope at 100x zoom

Then just go for the biggest diamond lol

Make sure to inspect and get a report on the diamond, can get independant along with the GIA report to make sure its not dodgey

Thanks Ric...should have you round for a drink nohomo...did you notice the Versace decanter?

IMO trick is to buy grog too expensive to drink on the daily (am aware I have baileys and midori in there; it's a rule of thumb jack ass). And replace what you do take when you take it.

I've started war on my dessert wines though; hard to resist the sweet allure after a filling meat meal like a big steak.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
