Blue nile is good, I was going to buy it from there. Their stock range is massive, only issue I had was that you can't actually see the diamond.

I went with JamesAllen.com. They have pictures of the actual diamond, which is important if you are looking for inclusions.

From then you can pick a couple and then an opinion from a geologist of their opinion of what they can believe is the best diamond out of the few diamonds you have picked.

I spent a little more, 5-10% to go though a jeweler, only as they have a guarantee, ie when it arrives if I'm unhappy with it I can decline it.

as for tiffanies, the one we wanted there was close to 30K.....said jeweler is doing same setting in platinum for around 1/3 the price.

gotta have a wasteland table brah dont forget the invites :P

Just be prepared to bring a machete, as the last Viet/Cambo wedding I went to someone got bottled :wacko:

Yeah for piece of mind, being able to see it in person can't go wrong with a local jeweller. I would say when choosing a diamond, one with a GIA certificate is preferable.

Bluenile do offer a 60 day money back guarantee no questions asked, but being in America it would be a pain in the ass if you did have to return it.

yeah this is a GIA one,

we went thought a few found one that was right size and color and clarity, he investigated it was all good so shipping it over, he will do another check then we get to come in and confirm it.

plus he came recommended from 3-4 of Katie's friends for doing their custom rings.

should have finished product in 2-3 weeks

Don't know how you can still use a 3, mine was so slow by the time I got rid of it I was lucky not to throw it at a wall everytime I used it..

I'm still using a 3GS. Battery life is starting to die in the arse as I've had it for 3 years.

think the bike will be sitting under cover for a while

probably a bad idea buying one this time of year....

Sunday is looking dry, will try to organise a ride.

Got a picture?

You too Alex, somewhere on the T & Co website?

Our one should look similar to this one:

If it's that lighter coloured blue, then I think you should stick to silver wheels...

its gun metal grey with a bit of blue through it.

As long as Rimon is on our table we'll be fine

rofl.

hole cut under the battery in an R32 GTST for the intercooler, confusion as to whether i cover it up or not, as ill just be making a hole again after i get a rwc...

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
