Hi guys, been so busy i forgot to post this up on SAU.

ANYWAY

January is a big month so starting on the 6th there is going to be a big weekend of things happening.

As some of you may have heard on NS.com a young fella commited suicide earlier in the year (South Australian). His parents Mark and Julie, thought it would be better to get youth suicide awareness out there rather sitting at home grieving.

They are going to be here for a week to promote the awareness of youth suicide and 'rattle the tin' for a local charity, which they chose to be Parakaleo www.parakaleo.org.au

since ben owned an S13 and was a drifter it was decided in his honour to do it in an import style weekend. They have since bought and modded an R32.

6th Friday- Devonport Mall: information session about youth suicide awareness/prevention, accepting donations + a few cars on display (no doubt some of you will have seen RIP Dr1ft_Pig_13 stickers on a few imports).

7th Saturday- meet at High Tide (cove) 10/10:30 for registration of the cruise, $10 donation gets you a cruise pack and a ribbon signifying your on the cruise. Cruise departing 11:30/12pm (being flagged off by a council member).

Travel to sheffield where there will be a first meeting point, a BBQ and some fund raising opportunities (Parakaleo is located nearby).

The cruise will then travel to ETC in Elizabeth town for a regroup point and opportunity to use bathroom facilitys etc, at the current stage there is no further re-group point between here and launceston but that may change (will be in the cruise pack no doubt).

Finish the day meeting in Bathurst St Car Park estimated time of 5pm.

7:30pm there will be a video/information night at Speedy Tyres, Bathurst St Launceston.

8th Sunday- Meet 9/9:30 Bathurst St Car Park, to leave by 10/10:30, only stops on the way are Cambell town. Next meet up point will be at Rosny College, HOBART around 12:30pm.

The cruise will then make its way down eagle hawkneck to Port Arthur (exact route i am not sure, i have left this in the capable hands of locals EG Toffy).

9th Monday- There will be something pending approval of hobart council in the mall or on the corner where CBA is similar to what was in Devonport on the friday.

10th Tuesday- Same but in Launceston, and this has been confirmed already.

alot of preparation has gone towards this so i hope all can attend, a much larger official flyer will go up in the next few days.

This is a chance to have Import cars seen in 'a good light' so do your bit for charity, promote youth suicide prevention/awareness, and been seen as a caring youth and import enthusaist.

if you have any questions or want more info or genuinely want to help out

email me: [email protected]

thanks for your time

regards,

Tim,

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
