How'd is going Todd you get that car sorted out yet??? let me know if you need the coils are there here waiting for ya GMB

You will find that most servo's and storage places have been ready for 98RON+ for over 6months. DrifTas can now supply Martini fuel and octane booster to all Tassie guys and girls. This stuff is the best on the market "bang for buck" and you will see the improvments instantly!!!

No problemo, its a pretty imformative article and should answer most peoples questions with OB. If you do decide to use it then dont skimp and buy some cheap stuff at the local servo, use Martini as you wont regret it and probably save you money in the long run Cheers GMB

What they hell have all your crack pts been smoking??? And more importantly where can i get some

glad to put a smile on everyone's face How's the GTR coming along anyway chief???

There have been rumours for the last 2 years that 98RON is coming but its still not here Once the LRP had been fazed out BP were supposably bringing there BP Ultimate 100RON to Tassie. This would not only assist all the local but obviously be a bonus for the local racing community and Targa. I haven't heard anymore about this though (maybe Benno or Perry can shed some light) and i hope it is soon (new engine being built for the Beast) As for using octane boost have a read of this: http://www.martiniracing.com.au/Documents/...tini%20Fuel.pdf http://www.martiniracing.com.au/html/superboost.htm and it would be worth D/L the spec sheet and having a read. Now i dont know what car you have, your mods or boost so i cant answer yes or no for booster. If your car is stock as a rock then i wouldn't wste your money or time with any form of booster (unless you have really bad knock ) as your not reallly going to gain anything. If you have wound the boost up a little (or planning to) and you have a couple of mods then it cant hurt to try OB but remember its not a 100% fix for knock and if you get a cheap OB it can actually cause knock!!! I have tried alot of the OB's that are on the market and honestly you cant go past Martini. Some people will say if your car's not tuned for OB then its a waste of time, other will tell you jsut to use it when you go to the track/strip. At the end of the day if your seraching for BIG numbers here in Tassie on pump fuel then you would have to tune with OB but if your just after the occasional squirt with the fella's then go ahead!!! If you give us a little more info on your car's mods and what you want to be doing then we can give you a better answer, but at the end of the day its just other people's opinions chief. Best way is to get your own Cheers GMB

Yeah but did he buy the tyres

Benny has a standard GTS-t bonnet mate from his car. it would get you back on the road

Depending on tread i might go the tyres

No problemo 14K and its yours. Just comes with the rest of car

Well after the car was stolen i have it home and have started to clean up the mess. I need to get a few things (new locks and rear 1/4 and fix the ignition barrel) and pull the flat battery out charge so i have a working alarm again!!! Once i clean everything up i will start pulling everything off/out to get ready for a new motor. Then comes the decision to keep the car or sell and start with something else (new bike ) I will have a few things for sale again mostly to suit R32 but will have both my turbo's and my new 2 way up for grabs as well. Cheers GMB

YEP we are aiming for 2010 to have it all up and running You and me both but i have a car with broken glass, locks and ignition barrel and a popped motor. So i think it would of been a pretty long day pushing the thing everywhere!!!

Im after a rear quater window for the left hand side to suit my R32 GTS-t to replace after the car was stolen. Need it in good condition with no visible scratch's or marks as it has to be tinted. Reply. PM or bj_glover(at)hotmail.com Cheers GMB

Todd you have my number give me a bell when ever you want to come get em. Car isn't going anywhere in a hurry so its not like i need them It will take about 2 mins to remove mine from the car so no drama's. I've got another spare set you can borrow and a couple of ignitors as well if need be Cheers GMB

Hey Todd your more than welcome to borrow my coils if you like to make sure it is 100% of your problem. Its not like i need them at the moment

Like Nick pointed out the thicker oil can cause the problem's with cold starts (more so with bigger, aftermarket turbo's) and thats what leads to the damage. You shouldn't see any other damage from using the thicker stuff for that short period of time unless something else was/has already gone wrong. Are you 100% sure it was a bearing failure (checked it already???) DO a compression test and see how the old girl is doing, (if motor is back running) it should be fine but better safe than sorry!!! Otherwise if you have done a bearing you will be doing a rebuild so you can check everything then Cheers GMB
