My uncle runs a farm/vineyard in the yarra valley where we often go for a weekend away...

this week theyre filming a portion of Charlottes Web there... for 30 seconds of film it takes 1 week to shoot :D something like 120 people... 4 semi trailors and a lot of vans.

theyre bringing magpies and sheep (their farm is a cattle farm as well as a vineyard) to use in the shots which will only be for 30 seconds of film time :D

they have to cut some branches down (well get my uncle to) to get the trailors in and they said that for every branch he has to cut for them to get through theywill give him a slab ;)

There will also be a 24 hour food caravan open to everyone to eat so if he gets hungry they said to come up and have a feed.

None of the stars will be there or anything cause its mainly a scenery shoot as well as a "chase scene" and the lead up to the farm down the driveway which will look pretty much.... like this

lol yeah not just finger food either... full catering staff

Yuck Fou. Oh ni you know you got a mention in Speed mag "Not to be outdone, D1NZ driver Jarius Whareau drove the RB26-powered Cefiro of Nikora Terrill with some aplomb." Mr lar de dar. To bad you havent got it any more would make a good shot in a scene like that. The only thing you'll be shooting though is the sau guys trying to get onto the set for some of that free food and BEER!. :usuck: :headshot:

lol yeah wont post up the location for obvious reasons... yeah i have that speed mag :P i was going to take the car there for a shoot but its too far away to drive with no rego.

when i get another car i'll organise a cruise up there... but hen the actuall hotel and stuff are built and they have wine tasting on... its awesome up there... love going out there and staying over (even when i get put thru a barbed wire fence on a motorbike.)

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
