When the "Aussie mining guys" asked why the hippsters told the Stew it was because their seats would not fully recline WTF????? The "aussie mining guys" laughed at the hipssters and told them to "pi$$ off". Go Aussie mining guys...take that hippsters.

Mr. Keets replied to s2o0o's topic in General Automotive Discussion

I've spent a couple of weeks in the UAE here and there and the guys in that part of the world certainly have their own "style" . But in the end who cares, its mums 17 sec shopping trolley. and now some dancing fruit! :PBJ: :PBJ: :PBJ: :PBJ: -
\begin rant\ Royal Family Waste of keyboard, what an incredible waste of public monies; they are'nt even British !!!!! These people are an anachronism...pointless fluff. They cant even keep it in their collective pants. Dont give me that holding British society together bull$hit, WW2 is over, we've moved on. At best they are a tourist attraction, at worst they are a drain on the public purse and touch stone for all the horse heads who want to perpetuate the class system. Old people get a 75p a week rise in the pension and the Royals get 7.9 pounds. Queen of Australia....What! a bunch of inbreds sitting in a castle in the UK decieding if MY government is fit to represent ME. Storm the gates, sieze the gold and the properties and give them to the poor! Viva La revolution The horse is funny, it's been around a while and i've never seen an explanation yet ...more animated fruit :PBJ: :PBJ: :PBJ: \end rant\

Hey caminperth Close, mining construction, fair comment about the older guys but i think we can apply that to alot of engineers " i had an onion on my belt ...which was the style at the time" Keefy Right on man *giving closed fist salute* How about these a$$holes that feel that it is their god given right to recline their chair for 10hrs at a time then get all bent out of shape when the stewardess tells them that they have to " retun your seat to the upright positon" for a meal.....business class rules and because i think the worl needs more animated fruit..

The following text is taken from an article by Neil McDonald from GoAuto e-news titled" Here comes Godzilla!". If you already know this hooray for you. I'm not interested in flames proclaiming "Well duhhh!" i am posting this for those of us who didnt know or couldnt find your post " NISSAN has confirmed that the high-performance GT-R sportscar will be on sale in Australia early in 2008. In Melbourne last week for a design symposium, Nissan's chief creative officer Shiro Nakamura confirmed the news and revealed that the most recent of the GT-R concepts the Proto shown at last year's Tokyo motor show was 90 per cent production ready. The new-generation version....is tipped to run a high-performance twin-turbocharged V6, possibly up to 3.8 litres in capacity with an output of approximately 380kW. The V6 is likely to be mated to a close-ratio seven-speed sequential gearbox and drive all four wheels, technology that could push the price past $150,000 by the time it goes on sale. Mr Nakamura said he was happy with the way the GT-R had turned out, despite a long gestation period stretching back five years when the first concept was shown at the 2001 Tokyo motor show. He admitted that Nissan had rushed the first concept out because many people in Japan, where the car is considered an icon, had thought the GTR was going to stop production. From a design point of view I have no worries about the life of the design because it stands out, he said. It might have been better to bring it out early but to produce this car requires huge manpower and extra cost, so now we are ready. But I think youll not be disappointed. Mr Nakamura said the GT-R was pure Japanese design. " Well....thats nice

How about Garrett GT2860R 707160-5 lowmounts, bolt on and the price is right I got 406rwhp on an internally stock RB26 only restricted by fuel and common sense (dont want to do the rebuild just yet) http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarre...0R_707160_5.htm. after reviewing the suggested reading material check out the sticky :Rb26 Turbo Upgrade, All Dyno Results Good luck

1. People (in any car) that cant keep to the left What is the problem? It's simple, if you want to drive below the limit KEEP LEFT! When your finished passing someone on the Freeway get in the left lane ya knucklehead. 2. Young engineers, Fresh degree, 6 months experience and they think they own the world...well ya don't boy! smug arrogant wanker, you know SH)T now take you hair product and deisel t-shirt and p!$s off! 3. Airlines Or more accurately the people that use them, as soon as the aircraft comes to a halt these idiots are on their feet, sticking their collective smelly asses in your face while they're grabbing their laptops from the overhead locker like its their last meal then stand next to you for 10 minutes swinging the same crappy laptop in your face ,waiting for the hatch to open, all the while talking to poor hostee about some dreary deal that will save their company 8 bucks. Man i just want to take my complimentary hot towel and choke them!!!! Die boring person 4. Companys who think they own you I have a life outside of work you fascist, you want me to work longer pay me more, Whats that? you dont want to pay me to work extra hours...we'll get some else, i'm a contractor ya schmuck! 5. $hit boxes doing fly-bys After you finally relent and give them a late night thrill when no ones looking...1st, 2nd speedlimit then 5 seconds later....whooosh there goes loser-boy in his loser-mobile honking his horn is mock triumph while his loser mate yells something out the window speeding off into the distance,... face it loser your a loser (message to self, be kinder to losers) Man, that felt good....best thread ever :PBJ:

How Often Do Your Drive Your Car?
Mr. Keets replied to magpies03's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Every day when i'm home, but will get a beater for extended periods in Oz To prempt other questions: Q: Do i drive it hard? A: That depends on your definition? Q: You know....Hard? A: Do you mean limiter launch it out of maccas? Do big smokey donuts in RWD mode (thanks Paul and Stacey) at same? Rev the guts out of it at the lights in an attempt to bait a V-teker, comode or magna driver? Race evey idot who tries to block me in on the freeway because i drive a Skyline??? Then the answer is no! I'm a grown up who has to pay for his own mistakes Q: What is your favorite colour? A: Kid...you are beginning to creep me out! Q: What are your turn offs? A: Ohhh Kayyyyy then *backing away, trying not to make eye contact* Yes, i did have too much time on my hands today -
Kenny, congrats on finding your car.....Approved alarm + insurance on the horizon?
-
Dear God!!!! Alfa Romeo need help from professionals....yes, yes you do. Or possibly that is the sign you will leave permanently errected on your fron lawn. Seriously, if you are mechanically inclined and an experienced panel beater (mucho tin worm) OR you have money to burn get one. As for the newer ones they dont seem to hold their resale and they are FWD. Save your bucks or better still by a skyline, good luck

begin rant I couldnt agree with you more Michael. I'm not inferring anyone in this discussion does, but if you wear your ball cap contrary to manufacturers instructions (Y0), have the doof set to 11 and your chair in shuttle take-off position then you just make yourself a target. Drive like a citizen, pick your moment to impress the seat cover an maintain a low profile Think carefully about the mods you want and how it\you will be percieved, when you invite attention, that's what you get. Having said this, sometimes just owning a car and being a young person will be enough. Life is unfair and yes, THEY often dont know what THEY are looking at. Rant end
-
Thats F^*#ed Kenny. I'd be gutted Man, its hard enough owning these things on top of idots wanting to key you ride, insurance, theives etc. Canvas your neighbours, get your details to every tuner in town, dont let the police forget you and hope it turns up. good luck.

Seeing you've got a couple left...i'll take one. PM sent

Hi From Uk - Help On Gt2860r -5 Turbos ?
Mr. Keets replied to peter k's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Hey Peter, glad to see someone running a 32, seems like alot more 33's and 4's over there. I'm using these turbos on my R32GTR, dont know if my numbers will help you though. My engine is standard internals with adjustabke cam gears, dumps etc and Power FC. It makes 406 hp at the back wheels at...from memory as i'm in off-shore at the moment, at 16 psi. Just about maxed out the stock injectors. As kwazza11 said check out the rb26 turbo upgrade sticky Good luck and keep us posted with your dyno results -
Wheel standing sedans are great, but header flames on a fueler in the evening....no contest Nice work

PM Sent Transfer made

Hey No one, sorry i'm a million miles from my R at the mo, so i cant post the sheets. Check out turbobygarrett.com and you can see the maps, Mine is making 406hp at the back wheels, I picked up 70rwhp on a 17 year old engine...fuel system running out of puff now. Every combo is different and so is the tune up. Find a good tuner and ask to see some dyno sheets.

Hey No one I recently bought a pair of Garrett GT2860R - 707160-5 and i'm happy. Lots of power on tap and very drivable. My current RB is getting a bit long in the tooth for big boost and HP, but i'm still having lots of fun. Had some adjustable cam gears fitted as well as the usual bolt on mods TURBINE: Wheel dia. = 53.8 mm Trim = 76 A/R = 0.64 COMPRESSOR: Trim = 62 Inducer = 47.2 Exducer = 60. A/R = 0.60
-
Well that would explain alot , I thought that was the safe limit?
-
I can only tell you of where i went 100K service, doesnt matter if its got 98K or 50K on the clock, you will have a sound base to work from Redline fluids Brake fluid 3inch exhaust front pipe power fc boost controller (1 bar) Adjustable cam gears (both) = 250rwkw + some drag racing = "hey whats with all the smoke and where is all the power!" (Damn ceramic wheels!) IMHO Whatever you do be realistic about your expectations and consider the risks. I dont know your circumstances but if you want to start spending cash on it by all means go nuts. I did; now i'm asking the forum questions about mods on a 300rwkw combo and contemplating the rebuild next year ....but if you dont, get the service, get a new stereo (is that what young ppl are calling them these days?), fix stuff that becomes an issue and enjoy driving it for a while...After all it's a still a GTR
-
Negotiating prices and checking delivery. Thanks for the help guys...suspension and brakes next, the g\box can wait till next season.

Hey Guys Injectors: Definately going to step them up, I'll need them later (hope not sooner) anyway Pump: 17 yr old pump, what could it hurt, I'll have to change it anyway for the rebuild. The nismo item seemed kinda pricey when a 044 flows similar numbers, but by the time i do the pump and all the rest of the extras it probably wont be that much cheaper. Plus it keeps the revenue raisers of my back when they want a stickybeak. Forgive a nooby question...If I go with the Nismo item and 700cc injectors on this current combo will i need a fuel pressure reg seeing i'm not running the injectors close to their potential? PS: Thanks SK for the "Aftermarket Fuel Rail" Post
-
Thanks all, I've done the reading and i'm now aware of the magnitude of the job (oil pump) and it will have to wait for the rebuild. This engine is only comming apart once. As far as the fuel system goes, ive sent the e-mail and i'll make the call to my tuner and discuss it tonight ...or is that day over there.
