For anyone who has ever sworn at a tool... Wordsmithing definitons.. Description of common tools. DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it. WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, 'Oh s h --' SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short. ADJUSTABLE WRENCH: Used to start the process of rounding off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of knuckle abrasions. PLIERS: Used to complete the process of rounding off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters. BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs. HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle.. It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes. VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers completely round off bolt heads. They can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand. OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various flammable objects in your shop on fire. Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race. TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity. HYDRAULIC JACK: A tool used for raising a car to change a flat tire that seldom fits under a car with a flat tire. HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes, trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper. BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge. TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect. PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads. STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms. WIRE CUTTERS: Handy for cutting wires and zip ties. Can also be used to determine the presence of electricity. PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part. HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short. HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit. UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes and fingers, but only while in use. Son of a bitch TOOL: Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a bitch' at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

haha, rad, cheers buddy, awesome link. option1 garage or head down to adelaide tyrepower and talk to troy about em. he should be able to price match them. cool. can you start with my garage? its needed a sweep out for a while now.

considered that, and redid the math to suit. then redid it again for the next bracket above that. basically the same result. doesnt add up properly.

im gonna have to invite myself around and steal a few of those i reckon.

f**k. that. shit. either brand new oem nissan if youre feeling cashed up, or do an ls1 coilpack coversion and have change from $400 (strong aussie dollar rules ). i can already hear people scoffing at the idea of using chev parts on a nissan, but the reasoning is sound, theyre cheaper than oem nissan/superchina/yellowchina/splitfire by miles, have all the oe research and development behind them, and their performance will at the very least match brand new nissan coil packs, and will definitely out perform superchina/yellowchina/splitfire.

ugh. fail. worked 11 days last fortnight. including both fridays and saturdays. on a new agreement that earns me an extra few cents an hour + 4% nightshift loading, and yet i barely earned more than i would working 8 days. i dont see how in hell i can work an extra 24+ hours and only earn an extra $150...

andrew, buy it or i cock punch you. i might even help install it.* * sit around and drink beer while shouting at you.

its hella wasteland spec.

still awesome. cheers.

"im pretty sure thats a lambo..."

youve said that about every car youve had since you went turncoat and sold the toyota.

awesome shot. dont spose youve got it in higher res? i need a new background.

lol. that thing was flogged hard. but it was also 2 steps away from being a missile car. fairly sure this guy wants his to stay in one piece!

at least you got good value for money.

seems pretty obvious to me.

an economical 'solution' to climate change involves paying off the third world? how does that make *any* sense at all? sigh. funny how basically every world leader is now a gigantic pussy focusing on climate change and promising to solve it at any cost no matter how unreasonable. gimme a minute while i head down to the centrelink office and conform to your stereotype.

id use it. not sure my pump and injectors will be up to task though.

youll enjoy it mate. while the v8 rig i owned wasnt anything special, even stock, my s14 is miles more fun.

ive got a hypergear rebuild in my car, and i cant fault it. alternatively, japanese import spares have a 2530 to suit an rb for under $1000. they also have nismo 550's for $240 each if you cant be f**ked waiting. but its easy to find injectors for much cheaper. jeff (speed lab) tends to work out of turbotune on the other side of town. and actually, this turbo jap car stuff is pretty straight forward. dont have to pull half your engine (and half your car) apart to change a cam.

lol @ 55cc injectors. my lawn mower uses bigger squirters! send your turbo to hypergear for a highflow (theyre in the traders section here and on ns), itll run you about 800 samolians. 550cc injectors you can get basically anywhere, send a pm to dohmar on here, hes got a pretty decent thing going on with some americans (yeah, i know...) for cheap injectors.

fair enough. bah, stupid rb's and their crappy ceramic turbines. get a highflow, then smash 16 psi. easy.

always with the quality advice there dan.

how much you aiming for? standard exhaust im guessing? if it is, call Andrew at AM Performance on 0401865373 and get him to hook you up with a turbo back system. get yourself a front mount kit, id just buy a cheapo chinese core and again see Andrew to do the plumbing. crank it up to 14psi, have everything checked out a dyno, and enjoy it for a bit. then when you get bored (you will), start looking at turbos (steel wheel highflow will see you into the 200's), injectors, and ecu's. then when youve got all that taken care of, start looking at keeping your engine reliable. oil cooler, maybe an ungraded radiator. but before all that, basic brake upgrades. some rotors (rda slotted rotors are available cheap cheap like a budgie in the group buy section), uprated pads (i and many others will recommend qfm pads) and a set of braided lines.
