This was a response to a couple of questions one of the club members sent me a while back :-) First, the Martini. Be warned, if you are not a big drinker a Martini is a BAD starting place for real c

the 'real' stuff is highly overrated. It contains VERY low doses of THC, get more effect from punching a cone and having a few beers. The mystique surrounding absinth has less to do with the wormwood (the THC ingredient) and EVERYTHING to do with the fact that when prepared the traditional way (sugar cube, fire, all that jazz)

Back in ye olde Paris, the sugar wasn't sugar but laudanum, a opium derrivative (about 10% opium, or roughly 2% morphine solution).

Opiates + alcohol + mild dose of THC = GOOD times.

Interesting idea. Misses some key styles but a solid representation and we'll laid out with some solid information.

In other news one of my regulars came in for lunch today. Guy is a royal pain in the ass and when dining with large groups we let him bring in a few bottles of really high end wine to share with the table. This means no booze sales which means smaller bill which means less tips. And you have to work HARD with this guy, he is almost impossible to please and everything needs to be flawless and done at the highest standards expected from a hat rated restaurant.

So I bust a gut all day looking after him and his family, handling wines worth more a bottle than I make in a month. End of the meal and I'm put up some dessert glasses for him as he has some port he wants to share with his guests. I get them all set and he asks for one more, I scratch my head but whatever.

So out comes the bottle of Port. It's in a wooden case, velvet lined. Little half bottle inside. He pours a portion for all his guests and a portion in the extra glass, stuff has the consistency and colour of engine oil and the smell is so strong I can smell it from the next table. He then explains what it is. I shit you not it was a 1908 para liqueur. 105 year old port. This stuff must be worth more than my car. His guests all begin the process of savouring the drink and the guy waves me over. I ask what I can do for him and he says, "I wanted to say thank you for looking after us so well today. This is for you." and he hands me the extra glass.

105 year old port. 105 years. This stuff is almost as old as Australia as a country.

All I can say is wow. WOW. I've had the pleasure of drinking some truly exceptional drinks over the years and this has to be the single finest thing I have ever tasted and may ever taste. Thick, intense, Smooth, lingering taste that opens up to reveal layer upon layer upon layer of flavours. This is why I am so passionate about alcohol not as a way to get f**ked up but to enjoy, savour and share. It's a passion for me and God damn if I'm not the luckiest son of a bitch that others feel the same way and want to share with me as well.

Makes it all worth while hey Boz. That really touched me!

Have had a similar experience but they just bought me a $40 nip of whiskey as he was a whiskey drinker too and we had spent quite a while talking about it. =)

(This was back when a normal drink was about $3.50)

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
