Yo Chookie chicken, you keen for pies on the weekend? We may need to scout this 21st cruise route as people are concerned about the ferry so i am thinking we repicate the run and see for ourslelves before i post up all of the details in a thread.... Let me know if your keen? I dont wanna post it up without knowing what its like!

See that truck thing coming up Wednesday on One HD? Looks alright!

No but I'll check it out

On a different topic I dropped the truck off to get some work done under warranty. Mainly a new headgasket as the bolts have streched and it leaking coolant

I ask the service person if they got new headstuds for the job and they say no we will use the old ones they should be alright

I thought all headbolts were a single use thing these days so will see what happens

Looks interesting! I like seeing shit built :D

I would be replacing the head studs if it was my car but depending on what the workshop manual says on those things will determine what is replaced under warranty as its all by the book!

But seriously IF the leak is due to bolts stretching why the f**k would you re-use them? lol :no:

Wow, thats been a while man! I would PM one and ask if everything is OK?

I am sure mine went through pretty quickly.... Its copped a hiding today :woot: Pic dump followed by chat......

Its odd that you've had no reply, the guys are normally pretty good.......

Ash is up to his eyeballs in SAU Nats so not sure how you will go there, although he is generally awesome too :D

Oh and the job on the truck turned to shit as well

I wanted to get it done in a weeks time when I'm on holidays so if anything went wrong it wasn't a problem but for whatever reason the boss wanted it done today and pick it up tomorrow

I get a phone call that it won't be ready till Friday and the boss hits the roof, en result was it got put back together before the head came off and will be done when I'm on holiday

Is everyone's car under cover

Looking nasty weather wise

Yeah, it's been under cover for too long :/

You should see the pics Sean posted up in the members thread!! Snow/hail :blink:

Damn

Where's he at?

Oh and I would come with you guys on Sunday but unfortunately I'll be outside fishing

On a unrelated note I went to the BP near work this arvo for fuel and the young bloke behind the counter says

"I was wondering who owns that car. I've seen it in the car park and a mate of mine owns 33"

Was a bit surprised as I don't think the car gets noticed that much

Anyone think the below is too much stretch? Looking at the same tyres as the wheels on the left, which are the same width as mine...

Thoughts?

    • I was just driving into work and while on my drive, I went to accelerate and noticed the car would sputter/hesitate and I’d hear a few pops from the exhaust before it started going faster. Then I also noticed that when I push my clutch in, the car would die. This all started happening today. Any ideas?
    • That is a lovely Volvo, just saying. Yes I should have got an 260RS when they were cheap. I do regret now.
    • ^ lots of good points made above. The thing is, "aggressive" or "flush" fitment is relative depending on how much you have been influenced by social media. My starting point is always "look at the Nismo RWD specs". That is where you should start, then start measuring as GTSBoy as sort of mentioned, because every car will be slightly different. My 8.5"+35/9.5+38 will not be "flush" enough for you because you want more "pumped" look, which is why you measure. Tyre sizes and brand/models also make a difference. Some tyres are more chunky/square, some are more rounded. That means you could get away with more aggressive offsets without rubbing. But then it also depends on your ride height. Also depends on how much your car copped damage before being shipped from Japan. So it goes back to measuring your car yourself and determining what can work. Those Nismo specs are used bacause it's a safe spec for standard car (suspension. body) with chunky tyres. But then I put 265/35 wide tyres on R34 GT-R wheels, and currently run 285/30 tyres on 18x10 wheels.
    • Sounds pretty awesome. I recommend creating a new build thread and posting all your goodness in there.
