Epic long weekend. Spent 3/4 days working around the house.

Removed about 3-4 swimming pools worth of dirt to make room for a 50m retaining wall. Took about 10-12 hours.

Dropped 4 big ass trees and cut them up and stacked behind shed.

Cleaned gutters then fitted 88m of gutter guard

Ran piping from fire to other end of house for ducting system. Was quiet and enough flow so bought the elbows and joiners and got everything up in the roof to finish off on a cooler day.

Adjusted timing and idle speed on the boat and general going over.

Tomorrow... relaxing day squidding with the boys on the boat
Animal. That's alot of big jobs. [emoji23]
feel dat pain bro

("might" be allowed back on the bike after this one)

It’s never fkn ending.

Cut up a tonne of ally today to make a stone deflector for the front of the van to handle the 800km of gravel in July. Just need to organise someone to glue it together.

Also modified the awning on the van today and have measured up to make an ally frame to slide out of the boat roof and put shade in the back of the boat.

Ally is awesome, just need a decent mig in the shed now :/

Ali mig can be a pain in the ass without the right gas and a push pull gun. You would at least need a Teflon liner and set the pinch rollers very loose to stop the soft wire making bird nests around the pinch rollers. It also hammers spatter like glue everywhere and would need to be 1.2mm thick wire and tips which runs better on a argon/helium gas. A little inverter tig that does Ac would probably be better. then you would only need argon and could weld s/s m/s Ali and also stick welding. Then just changing between thoriated and zirconated tungstens. I finally gave up on our 40yr old analogue pulse water cooled tig [emoji8] the little inverter can do all the same jobs but is air cooled with extremely accurate digital pulse settings. The old machine is 1200x1200x1200. Plus the radiator and cooling tank. You can carry the new Kempi on your shoulder with a strap.

Just pulled the golf clubs out because the masters is on. I used to play of 10-12 handicap pennants etc. Made a few chips wedges and full golf shots. Haven't played in anger since I done the discs in the lower back twice a few years ago. I'm currently packing up the clubs balls etc. [emoji26]

Guys at work mig only because of the speed I guess. I don’t think they have a dedicated welder for ally. Just set it up and do a tonne of jobs at once.

Hey peeps,

Just got myself a R32. . Really want to see some other skylines in WA and get some ideas about good modifications and some aftermarket ideas for the car.

Anyone keen for a drive and chat about the cars  (metro area between 11- 18th April?)

Lots to chat about. . . was such a mission obtaining one of these cars. . . 

Now stuck with something nice I shouldn't modify 0_o and all I want to do is single turbo it lol.

Cheers.

They will sit perfectly on an R32 GTR and sit flush to the guard (will not poke out). R32 GTR Rim of choice :1311_thumbsup_tone2:

Will not rub/scrub. Make sure your tyres are a 255

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
