  1. I don't care what anyone says, anything that is "man made" is still natural. It's what happens naturally when you compress/heat/cool/aerate/mix certain chemicals. These things just happen... Just because we give them the ability to happen doesn't mean it's not natural. Just like electricity flowing through a resistor in a vacuum emits light... This is natural... Nature and physics allow it to happen
  2. Surprisingly there is another brand of that stuff that does get sold by the 44gallon drum. Known in industry as just "Barrier Cream" The electricians at my old job introduced me to it, I also worked with a bunch of fitters. The fitters called the electricians poofs for using "hand cream"... Yeah, one of the fitters finally tried it... Now the fitters are also being a bunch of poofs and using hand cream... LOL Stuff is magic for protecting your hands from grease and grime. Should get my step dad to get me some for while I'm working on cars... Although, I've also been abused into wearing gloves so I dont cut myself as much... LOL
  3. It's a left hand turn on a road country road near Wollongong. Cliff is on opposite side of the road. So I came in, turned left, car stepped the rear end to the outside of thecorner, grabbed a whole heap of grip in the front and flung it back around the opposite way and across the road and into the cliff. There was a lot of factors involved in why it happened, but the main one, that contributed 99% to it, was the driver farked up.
  4. Until it oil surges... LOL The supra I had was a 3rd Gen Supra a GA70 specifically, so a 2.0L I6 TT. It was NOT quick, not at all, LOL but I love it, it had character. Disconnect the waste gate vac lines and just let the turbos self regulate at around 25 PSi... Toyota had enough fuel from factory that it wouldn't knock I took a JZA80 out to a motorkhana, exceptionally fun car to drive, but forget about EVER getting traction off the line. They just want to wheel spin. A very nice cruiser, although more something I'd build if I was young and stupid again and wanted a highway runner. This is where even a GTS-t kills a JZA80, ability to grip and go!
  5. Nah... Much worse corner than in RNP... LOL Goes from a down hill run off camber, to just a bit after the apex it shifts up hill, on camber. Hence, lack of traction incoming, rear end came around, and it massively shifted the weight right as I put some opposite lock on... Lot of oppy lock as huge grip comes back = f**king messy LOL
  6. It's been four years now... I miss having a running skyline Plus I don't really have the room, and it's a PITA each time I need to move Planning to have the room issue sorted in around 18 - 24 months though, which should be SAWEET! Supra was written off because I stuffed up taking a corner. Spun it into a cliff. Really bad corner, that really shifts the weight of the car mid corner, and it had moss and water on it too, rear end came around, shifted weight mid corner and back the opposite way. Drove it out from where I was and back down to an area a towie could get in, and shut it down before it over heated and damaged anything. Bought it home and wrecked it. Actually made money on it. LOL. But god I miss that car, it was just so... Raw! LOL
  7. I also second this... I have two project cars now... I never want another "non runner" car ever...
  8. I miss my cheap car Twin turbo supra... Bought it with blown turbos. Replaced them with some second handers... Had the car for twelve months, it took an absolute ass beating (I never even changed the oil in it from when I bought it!) It then got written off... I sold the door and rear hatch for more than I paid for the whole car and new turbos... ROFL
  9. Going to arrange an SAU QLD Christmas present hey?
  10. Yeah I'm glad I don't have to train people any more! LOLI got too annoyed by the stupid ones! Even though supposedly we got the best results if it was either me, or the owner doing the training, I'm just happy it's no longer me! And come on 1PM and then 5:30PM!!! 1PM so I can go buy my steak! Sooooo hungry!!!!
  11. c'est bien vous compendre est!
  12. Bon les gars, je pense qu'il est temps de se détendre haha ... Et je ne peux pas faire Oktoberfest
  13. Oh fair enough. Ignore me then... Mel is well versed in doing that, just ask her how easy it is to do... HAI MEL!!!
  14. Geez! Well that escalated quickly... LOL The reason I wrote that there, was because the whole panel gaps thing was from a thing Benji started, and I was the one who copped a ban before Clint did because of that Panel Gaps thread and it was written there in jest, LOL
  15. Okay! I'll take that challenge... But I know I'm already nearly a full second quicker then you
  16. I'll take 200 nicks over one Benji any day of the week! (Personal preference that is people, so it's not defamatory or picking on any one! It's just like me saying I'd take 200 RBs with Spun Bearings over a single Rotor any day of the week!)
  17. It's okay, we don't let Nick reflect badly on you... You are from NSW originally after all...
  18. I'm going to jump in on this here. If you're changing to a thermo fan because it's getting hot while driving, your fan ISN'T the problem. Why do I know this? Because a thermo fan, or a hydarulic fan CANNOT move as much air as what your car can while being driven at 30KM/H. If it's over heating, you need to find out WHY. I did a skim of your mods before, but I don't remember them. If you have a new radiator in it, it may still be the culprit, alot of the alloy radiators don't disperse heat properly. Your thermo may be dicking out. Your water galleries may be partially blocked. You may have air in the system. What's sitting in front of the radiator? Is the air con condensor blocked up with dirt and not letting air through? Have you thrown a HUGE FMIC in front of both of these items and are impeeding air flow? Big thing that could save you a LOT of hassles, is some simple ducting, force all of the air that is coming through the front bumper bar, to HAVE to go through the radiator. If it's like 99% of the cars around, a lot of the air is able to go AROUND the radiator. If it goes around, it doesn't cool it down. Also what's the shroud on the back of the radiator (Between radiator and engine) like? Does it have big gaps around it? Cracks in it? I've been looking at what to do with one of my cars that will be a purely track car only, and one of the things I'm looking at is NOT having any cooling fan on it, it's going to do hill climb/time trials, so there's no sitting for long periods with the car idling etc etc. Moving car moves way more air than the fan will, so it won't be an issue. Also, if you add more electrical items, it means a bigger drain on the electrical system, which adds load to the alternator, which adds load to the engine also. Just that it's even less efficient then the hydaraulic fan.
  19. LACHLAN! Leave the poor girl alone! She doesn't need to be molested in her own thread! Wait until she comes to our thread full of Gypsy Cuddles first!
  20. Expect Engine Out. Also find I think it's Kawasaki RIders for sale thread. Nice 300ZX with good power at a cheap price!
  21. Drive skyline daily, avoid parting it out. Kiama isn't that bad for defects.
  22. Halve your curren asking price and then you "might" have some interest from people.
  23. A lawsuit up there ass would sort that out. And then I'd point them in the direction of Adaptronic... But I may be biased... LOL
  24. Did you drug him? You totally drugged him, hence why you have his keys... Yeah, was just thinking the same... Maybe this is why his tuner has kept his car? So he can't take it to track days and make others crash...
