  1. You measure things when building engines. With precision measuring equipment
  2. I would like to go do some burnouts on my own but hey, bloody government As soon as this is over let's get together and hug and do skids
  3. Turbos are reliable. To imagine what an rb20de will be like with all the mods to make it as fast as possible (no nitrous or forced induction) think of your car now approx 20 percent quicker and your wallet a lot lighter. Pretty poor result.
  4. I'm not saying if I think it's right or wrong, or the level of risk etc. You can argue all you want, but you will likely not be able to talk your way out of a fine should you be pulled over when out and about for an"excersise" session riding a motorbike, or a drive to clear your head etc. Do what you want, it's your money you are risking.
  5. Which pretty much means car f**ked What did you do exactly to change the oil? And what oil?
  6. If you are at home you aren't spreading it, I'm sure you would agree. if you are out you are raising the chances. They now aren't zero, it's higher than zero. Surely you would agree with that. You likely won't stop to see anyone which is your plan, or you may have to stop due to unforeseen reasons and get help/petrol/ flat tyre. Now your zero chance has gone up, not zero anymore. that's not rocket science is it?
  7. 4 calipers, 4 colors dont settle on just one
  8. just to add to that, i cant think of a sillier thing to try to make power with an RB20DE.
  9. holy shit. don't do a build and stay NA, especially if you are talking about staying with a 2.0 seriously man, that's a bad plan.
  10. you are going to tell a cop with a straight face that you ride your motorbike for exercise? anyway, have you seen this on teh link you posted? email this guy Michael says: 6th April, 2020 at 3:57 pm From: “Stevens.MickL[RPC]” Date: 6 April 2020 at 10:09:47 am AEST To: RoostStarFilms Mick Subject: RE: Mt Glorious sole motorcycle riding complaint I have attached a copy of the CHO Direction for you to peruse. The part I would draw your attention to, is paragraph 6 where is says “A person who resides in Queensland must not leave their principal place of residence except for, and only to the extent reasonably necessary to accomplish, the following permitted purposes:”. The section then lists exemptions. The direction is very clear, you MUST stay in your principal place of residence, it does not allow recreational riding of motorcycles. The direction needs to be followed as it is the authority in this matter, not what is commented on news reports, facebook feeds or discussed on other social media platforms. I understand what you have said regarding comments in the media about exercise, but please remember the Premier recently said on the news that the Easter Bunny would be allowed into Queensland, so clearly not everything reported on media is true or accurate. Conversely, the CHO Direction is written, freely available, enforceable and is very clear. Again, at no point in the CHO direction does it permit recreational riding of a motorbike. I have legal advice indicating that as the direction currently stands, a motorbike is only to be utilised as a means of transport in order to give effect to one of the stated exceptions, that means you can use your motorbike to go and get food, medication or go to work. It does not give you permission or authority to use your motorbike as a recreational vehicle. There are no facilities within the Mt Glorious, Mt Nebo or Mt Coot-Tha areas that would currently meet a, “reasonably necessary to accomplish” getting food or medication, criteria. Those facilities are in other areas, in your neighbourhoods, shopping centres, etc, not in the mountains. Legal advice has indicated that the spirit and intent of the CHO Direction, is to keep people within their own neighbourhoods to slow the spread of the COVID19 virus. It is allowing physical exercise, but again that needs to be considered within your local area, not travelling on a motorbike through the mountains, and adding up all those extra unnecessary interactions like stopping for fuel. I understand there was previously a statement made by the health minister. For your information that statement was made prior to the current CHO Direction, which overrules the ministers statement. Also, from a policing point of view, our resources are stretched attending to other activities, including border control, and policing activities at airports and hotels, and the increase in policing services helping the wider community. It would appear a number of motorbike riders have taken this as “carte blanch” to ride in a non-law abiding manner within the mountain areas. This has the potential to increase traffic crashes which will stretch our already stretched resources, along with those of the Queensland Ambulance Service, the Queensland Fire and Rescue and hospitals and emergency health staff. Again, this is in direct contrast to the idea of the CHO Direction, which is designed to limit the impact the COVID19 virus has on Hospitals and emergency services. Remember the over arching reason for this restriction is to limit the spread of COVID19 virus, and as the advertising states, “We are all in this together”. The selfish and reckless actions of individuals claiming their “need” to go motorbike riding is in direct contradiction to what is needed at this time. Perhaps this is a good time to sit back and reflect on what is really important to the whole community and not just your own selfish individual “wants”. Please stay at home and stop riding your motorbikes in the mountains. Please do not make us issue Traffic Infringement Notices to you, to get the point across. I hope this clarifies matters for you.

  11. Like I said, good luck with it. I would imagine if you tried the "doesnt say i need to take a direct route home" you will get a fine. but hey, you do you.
  12. Good luck with that. Certainly doesn't meet the reasons to be out of your home. It's only a 1500 ish fine...
  13. I have the full Holden service info pdf set, it is massive. When iam able to operate a computer correctly I will pm a Dropbox link to you. Few beers in so could get bad athe moment
  14. That keep left sign is next level retarded
  15. Oh yeah! Now you are talking. Get a new plastic power steering resorvoir, they are cheap as and then you get rid of that yellowy plastic crap. skid vids please
  16. How would a meet occur when there are extremely clear limitations on gatherings my dude?
  17. More important than the size of the bov is what ecu you plan to use?
  18. It is a pretty funny argument though , good job boys. one based on actual experience the other on theory. Who will win?
  19. Don't do it. If you need a complete hand holding through the process get someone to do it . I would seriously doubt a complete guide for your engine on how to replace valve stem seals exists, (and it isn't required. Its same concept regardless of anything)
  20. If the cam is on the bench I don't see how it could push a valve open
  21. You are looking at the wrong cars if reliability is your top concern
  22. It is weird they bothered drilling and tapping then plugging it, but that's what they did. What's even stranger is they did the same on rb30 blocks. Good on them for helping us out though !
  23. Dfco. I have it off, man I am bad. Oh the theoritacal savings out the window..
