  1. You needed a piece of canvas with a painted engine...
  2. I think it was funnier when that noisey commodore was revving his engine, had 50 Plus people standing around it, then Stu fired the Dino-Line up and it was literally like watching a paniced crowd running from a terrorist bomber... But all they wanted to see was a real V8 in a real Skyline... I and another member had a good chuckle... LOL
  3. My stocker came out by removing the dump pipe only off the motor. My RB25/30 I can't remember if I do it with or with out the turbo... I think I took it off because it sits less then an inch off the strut tower...
  4. I always do my R33 engine and gearbox together. It's all about getting the perfect distance from front lie on location to the hook, and back tie on location to the hook. Get the perfect angle, you don't need to "lift" the gearbox at all.
  5. Good day! I'm going to bed now. Kthxbai.
  6. I have to be up in 3! And I still need to wash the thing... And get it running... Damn flat tackery... See you all there!
  7. Sounds like you had a boring weekend then Shell... Mine involved... Oh wait... I was sick... Okay... You win.
  8. Gee... I must have only picked up 5KW with all the mods done on my R33 GTS-t then... FMIC, full 3" TBE, lightweight flywheel, CAI setup... 185KW (That was a "roller coaster" setup though of a power curve... Once tuned 193RWKW... DE+twill be more tractable power wise off boost too due to higher compresion.
  9. Whilst the clutch is slipping... IE, it should be engaged, but isn't "locking up"... Or more, as described, revs go up, but speed/power doesn't match.This leads to a burnt clutch. Also, dodgy shifts do as well, IE "Flaring" gears...
  10. Us southerners know where North Gate maccas is... We don't need no gawd damn stinking maps!
  11. Where are you going to get it from? Ethanol comes from plants, or yeast as a bi-product. If you're not using the whole crop, then you're not utilising your supply 100%, and the amount of yeast, and then how hard it is to distill... Not worth the effort.
  12. The big issue is, even if demand rises, and supply rises, it's going to reach a point where demand > supply. Australia doesn't have the viable land area to be able to produce ethanol. America has the issue also... There are now farms that ar epurely growing shit for ethanol... There was a bit of an issue where food supply dropped... I'm all for E85, but it can never be main streamed as a replacement for pump fuel. We can't supply enough... Oh, and to all the greenies... Every car in the world accounts for around 3% of the total amount of Hydro Carbon emmisions each year... IE: Stop worrying so much about your car being bad on the environment and look at the coal fired power stations we run Australia from!
  13. No no.... My RB25/30 pumps everything to the head, then out the oil breathers... There is sdefinitely a problem at sustained RPM. The other big thing, most RB26 that are spinning big ends are doing it in GTRs... Which manage to turn with ALOT more G-Forces then the RWD brigade do...
  14. The occasional squirt 0 - 100KM/H is more fun though then no squirt 0 - 100 yes? PS: The NA ricers (And I say ricers by the ones putting shit on cars making them seem something they are not, not the guys actually improving N/A performance!) make the whole world, cringe, laugh, and facepalm all in the same breath... You know that right?
  15. 9PSi... 2.5L... Tyre frying in 4th... WITH a clutch dump... Where am I going wrong? 14PSi turbo'd... 3.0L... Only shreds the tyres in 3rd... With the push of the throttle... Should I try a clutch dump in 4th? Or are we talking you only chirped the tyres in 4th? Cause I can mention mine unsettles across the start finish line of OP GP in 4th... But that's just not fair...
  16. But if he got the bonnet with the prop of another boat... I think his is playing submarine...
  17. When the stuff is mixed in fuel, it is the first chemical that spreads through water. The earliest signs of an underground fuel storage tank leak is the detection of MTBE for this reason And I would say, with ANY fuel, you should be extremely careful, including unleaded fuel.
  18. From what I've read, MTBE isn't as bad for you as what you'd make out. The IARC, a cancer research agency of the World Health Organization, maintains MTBE is not classifiable as a human carcinogen. MTBE can be tasted in water at concentrations of 5 – 15 µg/l. MTBE is not classified as a human carcinogen at low exposure levels by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). However, exposure to large doses of MTBE carries significant non-cancer-related health risks. The effects of the prolonged presence of this alcohol derivative are not fully understood. As of 2007, researchers have limited data about the health effects of ingestion of MTBE. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has concluded that available data are not adequate to quantify health risks of MTBE at low exposure levels in drinking water, but that the data support the conclusion that MTBE is a potential human carcinogen at high doses. Only in high doses. In much the same way the Methanol is quite dangerous (It's actually lethal) at high dosages. 10ml of Methanol = blindness... 125ml = Death... But as little as 30ml is known to kill. MTBE is still used as a fuel additive, at the petrol pump today.
  19. This thread is not for whoring/chat The management has informed Ian (xMetal) that show entrants are to be at the venue by 8am We will be meeting up at NorthGate McDonalds If you don't know where this is... You're a lost cause... LOL Meet here at 6:00am - Leave at 6:15am - No exemptions. Unlike the coasties, we have McDonalds beside us, and a Mobil fuel servo the next building over. So if you're fine with that for breakfast, and Mobil for fuel, you're set! Please call 0406 962 347 and notify me if you are running late and we will wait for you. PS: Thanks Ian... I just stole it from your thread... LOL Whereis States this trip is roughly 1.5 Hours... We want to be there BEFORE 8AM!!! Please post if you're meeting us here or not.
  20. Pics of damage?
  21. On signup to the forums, as toymods does, need the real address and admins have to approve... The only issue there is time for admin again... Approval at toymods to just have membership can take 3 months (That's the forums, not the club!)
  22. I'm more wanting to know how the motor was still running submerged in that much water to hit the prop!
  23. I can help out, the only other thing I'd be doing is talking shit with other SAU'ers... LOL
  24. Have you seen what happens when you let an LS2 breathe with a touch of fuel taken out? They wake up more then a GTR does! And the GTR still kill them!
  25. I sent my form to Nick... Can someone confirm he got it? Sorry... I just had to join the band wagon!
