Next cruise whats happening? Noone made a choice yet?

Also who is attending wakefield on may 9th?

I was meant to do something but had a race car to fix at the time

Racecar fixed so can do a written way run if still keen

I did go to Rylstone recently and it's an epic drive but is a 500km round trip

YAWN

Wake up and go tune some epic cars ya lucky bastard!

And yes we know the Newcastle scene is a bit dead, would help if cops werent kents!

yea has been very quite here.. every one is too busy myself included by the sounds of it.

on a good note, my new wheels should be arriving tomorrow, going to pick up tyres from sydney this afternoon and all should be on the car by friday. very keen!

What did you end up with Ant? I forget...

Yeah well the deck is nearly complete and the bathroom is 3/4 done so the house is getting there, that is what has consumed most of my time lately!

good job mat!

the bank just gave me 22.5k for house renos! very keen to get my garage built amongst a whole lot of other stuff!!!

Amazing how quick you can spend $$ when you do a small job.... Work out what you think it will cost then double it :P

haha bloody hope not!! I think the garage and driveway will cost around 10k from the quotes I got.

then were getting a new fence, make a garden out the front where were usually parking, returf some sections of grass, new front door, tile outside under the awning, and possibly a bathroom reno, should come well within the 22k and the house will be so much nicer.

Report back when you are half way through :P

Nah it should be good man! We have been doing it on a budget and its going together OK, slowly though as we are relying on family to help :D

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
