The Bogan

All is well in Bogan land It turned out the transmission pump rotor went bye bye So after a full strip rebuild, and some, read: alot, of flushing, which was covered by warranty, it is good to go and the old slush box lives to fight another day There was a few reasons why it may have failed, but nothing definite, apparently it is rare for them to fail, but it did, meh, but now it has a nice new one in it Apparently it looked like this pic, not mine, but you get the gist

Bright side was the bike ride, if the car was working I would have pussied out and taken the car And with about 4 layers of clothing I wasn't cold at all....🥶

Not even a skid, just cruising on the M5 and put my foot down a bit to change lanes No bangs, no clunks, just no drive I'm hoping its just the solenoid Fingers crossed Meh

Damn it I now have a gearbox full of neutrals Goes in Tuesday for diagnosis/fix Damn it, I'm heading down to Goulburn to lunch with my daughter on Monday, looks like in riding the bike, and freezing my balls off LOL

LOL, yeah nah I also don't know or associate with people who dress in their Grannies sleeveless cardigan or her weird ill fitting slacks I am happy to put a bag of delicious cinnamon donuts on the line at WSID on Wednesday night, that is if the Skylines are currently running............🤣.......LOL JK.......but seri😜sly

The sidewall on the 225/50 is actually 0.25mm smaller than the standard 205/55 112.5 vs 112.75, if my math is right I like sidewall, our roads are shit

Jax do Hankook RS4 for $215 a corner in 225/50 16 https://www.jaxtyres.com.au/tyres/hankook/ventus-r-s4-z232?sku=ha2255016z232w I like them, in the dry I've run them on my MX5, my 86, and they are currently on my SS I like them alot more than the RE003 in the dry

This depends on what you use for car for, weather conditions and how long you expect a tyre to last Remember that the only thing stopping you from crashing is that small patch of tread Compromises are sometimes made Some high performance tyres are rubbish in the wet

Finally installed the new suspension on the bike, lowered the bike about 1.5" each end The compliance/performance is so much better than the stock suspension, comparing the new stuff to the stock, front was like a sponge, and the rear was like a pogo stick Yes I have lost some lean angle, but I really rarely scrapped the pegs before anyway, plus I don't really dive into corners because Harley

Car drives great in traffic and loves the Hwy Drove to Braidwood today, averaged about 9.5l/100km with cruise locked at 100 and 110 Sedate city driving is less fuel friendly at about 16l/100km Car is wicked fun and fast on the roll

No, please don't, I blame 1/2 bottle of cheap whiskey for my stupidity

May I also change my username to... The Bogan Thankyou for your service

Googling the 400R has them above on sites like Wikipedia and some other initial review sites Meh, don't care, cannot afford

WTF is it with that, the pin striping and flairs I mean?????

You "may" be able to register a late model RB engine into a 350GT, last R34 was 2002, 350GT from 2002 ????, so maybe, but why, there is much newer, better, lighter and cheaper bang for buck stuff out now LS3 You will need to engage an engineer first before even starting, no point in doing it if the engineer won't sign off on the "swap kit" or mods you want Want different, throw in one of those new 5.2 BOSS engines in from the Mustang, those things sound wicked

Gave the engine some new HPR 10 and filter And, ohhh noooss, the blower is just touching the bonnet liner thingie Time will tell what cunning plans will ensue, probably somethong like the carbuilder deadener that is under it, just a bit thinner, maybe In other news, car is awesomeballs

The transmission tune is all sorted I think I want to put a gilmer rear drive on the back of the blower to make it even more whiney and annoying, speaking of annoying...... Funny story, I was waiting for the Mrs to pick up some takeaway, she overheard a couple outside the shop complaining to their friends about the noisy car in the carpark, she heard the friends say,"WTF, that thing sounds hot, not everyone wants a POS car like yours" It's the little things that make you smile, and annoying people, I always smile when I annoy people Sorry, no skid vids

If you use a steamer window tint just peels off easy The hot steam just melts the glue and off the tint comes I removed 20 year old tint recently and with the steamer it took me no longer than 1 hour Good quality window tint would be a no brainer, the tint doesn't even need to be dark Are you really going to climb in and out of the back seat everytime you park the car?

Yeah, 20 year old cars suck Hey, wait.......

The most important thing when working on cars is safety Have a plan Have a budget Remember to enjoy yourself, stuff will not always go as planned Start a build thread, it helps to keep track of things, and gives me something to read

Is that on an 'merican dyno? And yes, every engine bay needs a sewing machine, I mean a LS1

Is it smokey Turbo seals?, blocked PCV? What does your intake pipe and IC look like I accidentally kinked a PCV hose once and it pushed ALOT of oil, was really smokey though

As all the cool kids apparently say "SEND IT" ...."it's not mine" My bag of donuts is on a bearing spinning at high rpm from oil loss, or, the rod going at low rpm from torque Take video either way

Bloody rain, you cannot really road tune a transmission when there is an inch of water on the road... Next week

The market is good for selling the 33
