welp, found out why my internet sucks. its cause adam sucks. they apparently cap uploads aswell. balls. think ill move back to internode. shits gonna be frustrating for the next 12 days.

all this computer talk is nuking my brain... haha, probably. sounded a bit sus to me. f**kin ruined my night though.

i wasnt asking wilall for a tune, was asking their opinion on a problem...? snr? downloading test file at the mo.. 6kb/s. fail. can i get that in computer stupid? (aka, english)

balls. internet is running so f**king slowly. but ive got 8gb left til i hit my cap apparently. cleared history, cleared cookies, reset router, still running slow as all shit. any ideas?

only memorable spot over the last few days has been a lotus exige yesterday at vic square at about 10.

well, after much arguing responsibility, shifting of blame, and a call to wilall racing, the adaptor i was sold under the assurance it would fit despite my concerns at the time is being swapped for a billet earls block adaptor under wilalls recommendation. eta is tuesday though, they have to fly it in from interstate. not really too thrilled about that. out of the 14 in our group, only 4 were guys. normally going out drinking in town doesnt do it for me either, but it was a going away party, and an exceptionally awesome woman asked me to come along.

granted, i wasnt wearing the 'dressiest' of shoes, but their clean, and their lace ups. dc's. and if 99% of venues in adelaide will let me in with them, where the f**k do these clowns get off saying its inappropriate? and just randomly, i was dressed better than most of the guys in the line, for instance, the dude in front of me, smelt like he hadnt bathed all week, was wearing a dirty top, frayed and torn jeans, and some nike sneakers that looked like they were taken from some homeless dude. and yet, he gets in.

adelaide blows. had a friends going away party tonight. got refused from 2 venues ive never been to before because my footwear 'wasnt up to standard'. are you f**king kidding? how the f**k can a glorified pub have a goddamn dress code? sorta killed what was shaping up to be a decent evening.

meh. at least its the adaptor and not the core or any of the huge number of fittings i have on that. its undo 3 fittings, move lines, remove adaptor, mostly done. as opposed to; remove grill, remove headlights, remove front bar, remove intercooler, undo fittings, remove centre rad support strut, remove core.

balls. got the pump fitted, primed it, all was sweet, topped up the sump, turned the key, fired after about 5 seconds of cranking. check for leaks. gi-f**king-gantic leak spotted. engine shut off 2 seconds later. 30 seconds of nosing around. culprit found. the spin on filter adaptor that outlaws assured me *would* fit, didnt sit properly. was impossible to see before hand, but basically, the o ring is sitting right on the lip of filter block on the engine. lost a fair bit of oil in the 20-30 seconds it was idling. taking it back in tomorrow to have a bit of a rant.

you didnt get receipts? photos?

i got my own painter for small things like my kit, but if i was gonna get some crash work/flares/etc done, id probably go and see all type with all the good things i hear and see out of there.

theyre handy if youre in need a of place that can burn money for you.

lol, pretty well. its come a fair way from the stocker it was when i bought it... ... now i just need a pfc or something and a z32... hmmm...

balls. id love to come for a run, but with the new pump in im not gonna be "driving" it until i get it dyno'd to check the afr's... ... and ive got a going away party that i "have" to make an appearance at... ... on the plus side, ive sold my spare wing... and the front end of the 200 is back together.

joisus. GTR pumps are fair beastly compared to the 200's stocker... and now im off to collect a free carton of beer from work.

200's pretty much done. just gotta refit the front bar and the cold side cooler pipe and fit the fuel pump. oil cooler was pretty lol, ended up using 4 fittings just on the return line so the hose could clear the rad support and the fmic. spoiler looks pretty rad. as does my new 'silvia' badge on the boot. so luke/wayne, hills runs will be in order soon. might bring back the midweek runs. would post pics. but 3mb photos + capped internet speed = 5 day uploads.

awesome post, a+, will read again.

oh. then buy a chaser.

just buy jenkies rig. pretty serious car.

im now pretty much erring on the no side of maybe. keep my spot in mind for now though, will know within the next few weeks if ill make it.

matty, shoulda got the -200's, -72 just doesnt fit well enough. ps, after much laziness, oil cooler is almost ready, not where i was originally gonna put it though, its now sitting in front of the radiator, just need to buy 1 more 90deg fitting and im done... ... also fit my new bootlid, but it doesnt close properly, some fine tuning is required me thinks.

finally got a decent offer eh? on the subject of wheels, much want! would suit the late 90's thing my car has going on pretty well i reckon.

i think luke used winner products or something random like that.

just watched the first ep of flashforward, has a fair bit of potential.
