For all the refugee & good food hating bigots in the house.

Here's a story on some good friends of mine who also happen to make the best phó in town

You mean, only Alex?

yay house internet has been dropping in and out all week and today has been choppy at 2mbs. login into the router and says its 5.7mbs...

Its been ok for a few weeks before this, and then will be bad for a day or 5 then be back to normal. been talking to internode on and off throughout the year about it and ive replaced the line filter with a normal cable, and the only other option is to replace the router. I borrowed my dads old ADSL2 modem/router and found out its not compatible with iinet's network :rolleyes:

the fritzbox is a $300 router than ive never had any issues with, other than having to reset it whenever speeds slow down. im not going to replace it just so internode can lodge a complaint to telstra/optus whoever. changing to cable from optus or telstra would double the internet bill and i'd lose my $20 a month mobile SIM.

The least I paid was a bit over a dollar

Now it is exactly on par with unleaded...and if unleaded goes up it does too

Except when unleaded drops it doesn't drop

So much screwage

Drive to phillip island was fked - planned it so my last fillup would be in Cranbourne - pump not in use. Travelled west to Frankston to get it - waste of ~10 litres

I DID have jerry cans lol

By the time I got to PI and drove around on the Saturday I had 3/4 in the first session. After issT two sessions tipped one can in, then at end of the day I put the second one in and made it home with 1/3 a tank left or something.

E85 is bad enough on economy let alone tracking it :(

That's thoroughly retardsd...I would have taken 6 at the most and 98'd it until I got to the track then switch.

The United in San Remo really needs it; it would get more use than most E85 bowsers in the country. Cranbourne being bone dry is evidence of this.

yeah thinking must have been a 2 day track session for 22 jerry's

but still difficult.

I want to convert to E85 next year however also moving to the country so nearest servo 100 km away, going to make life difficult

time to conver to new tow rig with extra tanks

$10k for wheels and tyres?

over $1k to fit a rear diff?

$30k for widebody and re-spray.

wants 40% back on what he paid for mods + value of the car?

i feel sorry for this dude.

not to mention you can get an M3 of the same era and kms for the same or even less money. I wonder which will depreciate more?

Funny shit on the road today.

Some dickbag motorbike rider clearly had some form of beef with a dude in a car.

We were driving down the road and he was sitting on his chopper show bike right up this cars ass, then his mate that was waiting for him pulls out of a parking space on a dirt bike and sits in front of the car while old mate Phaggot Mc Showbike moves beside the car.

They look at each other and dirt bike brake checks the car while showbike turns into him, forcing the guy all the way onto the wrong side of the road and nearly into incoming traffic....

A 3rd bike was there, unaware of what was going on, but as so many idiot motorbike riders do, was sitting in the cars blind spot with that whole moron "if he hits me it's his fault" attitude.

Dude narrowly missed being run over by the car, and then the oncoming traffic.

Crazy stupidity all round.

I would have called the cops but the 2 offenders didn't have lisence plates :/

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
