Man, SAU is just filling up with people who have goals in horsepower or want to run X amount of boost. we need a horsepower ban in place.

yeah I'm aiming for a nice 150ish RWKW, think I have decided on one of these as my affordable classic for a few years whilst american muscle gets finished.

 

bit of low, some rims, few tunes and a 308 seems like a nice little weekend car. prob bang it on club rego as well.

just checked car sales... VK's start at $7,500.

$3k will get you a real shitter.

After seeing a few really clean XF/Fairmont/Fairlane/whateverthef**k, i think they'll be classics. chunky tyres, low, those american style speedos.

My cousins got a ZH Fairlane, and its actually pretty cool.

yeah forget car sales.

gumtree/facebook market place is where the decent cheap ones are.

5ish will get a clean one with some good bits, 4ish for one with a few things to clean up

prob have to go north a bit to get one however.

Anyone commute with a bike to the city on daily basis? yay or nay?
Thinking of growing a pair and get a two wheeler. 
Been 4.5 months working in the city and am sick of traffic and paying for parking, have tried catching the train twice and yeah nah.

When I was in the office 5 days a week I rode in most days 

Used to do Gleniris to south melb then after move was doing Newport to South Melb

 

both had bike tracks most of the way and was at work in under 30 min. and we had bike storage in the secure carpark.

 

we did have decent showers at work however as in summer can get a sweat going.

Did it a couple of times but I only lasted 4 months in the city before moving jobs, f**k that. 

Too many dickheads in cars don't see ya, and took a fair bit of time to get my gear on / off / bike out the shed etc. Didn't make it worth it so got the train. 

I got a mate that lives like 10km out of the city and has a really powerful E-bike thing, gets him to work and home really quick and can use bike tracks, plugs it on charge nightly and bobs your auntie.

Get Nismo weighted shit knob. One of those poly-whatever ones (no, not the gay rounded ones with the flare at the bottom).

 

They work gud

Hmmmmm not cheap, but comes with nismo sticker, which is worth like $100 anyway

I have a shift knob that I got from our great friends at Autobarn.

But I legit want an OEM one because I figure they should be cheap as literally anyone who changed their shift knob ever should have one, and it'll fit nicely over the boot...

Your logic is flawed, anyone that changed them threw the stock one in the bin.

Originally I wanted a Nismo leather one but $180 was the cheapest I got offered, so yeah that is out.

I just want something that will sit on the thread on the shifter properly, having this dead space between top of boot and the actual knob is mildly annoying. Mildly as in cheap 2nd hand OEM shifter price annoying.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
