hmm well i expected about 8 last time and there was 17, wonder how many will be coming this time :)

all you bloody non posters :P

Not sure how many but rang the pub today and booked lunch for 12.30 for 20 people

Told them I would ring Sunday morning if there was more

Oh and kinda on topic but I'm kinda have to go for a drive to Scone after lunch on Sunday then turn right and go 50 odd klms out to a place called Moona Flats via Gundy

Got back to work this arvo and noticed one of the tailgates on the truck missing. Rang the manager in Sydney and he said its way better and cheaper if I go find it as they cost a fortune.

Last time one was lost in the blue mountains and they sent three guys out in a truck till they found it and was still cheaper than a replacement, apparently the firm that made the body's has a licence on the design or some such and charge a fortune for replacement bits like tailgates and side gates etc

haha wow that sucks martin! you have 50kms to look for a tiny little light thats probably smashed on the road? f**kin buy something and dodgy it up!

haha oh chookie you knob!

The tyre fitters are going to hate you Chookie

Jarred it's the tailgate not the light

A steel gate about 900mm square with some mesh

I could knock up a new one for $50 bucks but work wants me to find it and I'm curious as to where it is as I'm sure it was still there when I stopped at Aberdeen on the way back

tyre fitters never like me, i use to hate them cause i couldnt get the car on the wheel alignment machine

guess we have a love hate relationship

now to go beg the guys to fit these when they arrive lol

we should all follow you martin, extra eyes are always helpful :D

Still working on that plan man! Ideally yes, so we dont have to bother anyone else....... Just waiting on the crazy asian to answer if he is coming or not!

lenny bringing the evo ive heard so much about?

i will be bringing my camera again, so if anyone wants some shots of their car just let me know...

can maybe organise a group shot somewhere too?..

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
