The Bogan

That looks neat. How did it flow?

Post pics, then, with a small amount of plagiarism, the task isn't as hard.

OEM with filter.

Not with 2 step and auto. Line lockers on the other hand.

Whilst I do love a good 2 step, yeah nah, #becauseslushbox

Now you cannot see the butchered air cond heat exchanger. I used some pinch weld I had laying around, it ain't pretty but it works, I may try some different pinch weld next time I'm near somewhere that sells it. Radiator should be a bit more efficient as well, I'm guessing, as I'm not lossing air pressure in front of the radiator due to the air bypassing the radiator and entering the engine bay up and over the top.

Hey, I was 20 in 1985....... Good times were had, I think I had my LJ around then. Ahhh, fond memories of drag meets at port botany on Saturday nights. In other news: I really need to research shit more.

My understanding is that the correct RPM range for the converter should be 500 RPM below the cruise RPM IOT ensure the converter has stopped slipping. Back when Mosses wore shorts I remember guys throwing in high stalls in their street cars with varying results of reliability, due to the converter constantly slipping and cooking. Disclaimer: I'm far from actually knowing what I'm talking about, my memory is a bit fuzzy, and the googles is full of misinformation. I'll give VCM a call and also pop into Oztrack in the Riff for a chat. Oztrack did the original bolt ons and tune.

Yeah, I assume there is more to that dyno than a cam and some bolt ons. From searching around a cam that suits my auto might get me a bit more up top but a good chunk in rhe middle without sacrificing to much down low, where rhe 3.9 gears should help anyway. My power will be limited by the cam I am able to use with the stock converter. The car is currently a daily/cruiser, the 3.9 diff has me reving pretty high, even in top gear, when doing 110, hence, I cannot fit a high stall to suit a big lumpy cam, and not kill the converter. Compromise is my middle name. Anyway, that is what I'm rolling with ATM, I'll talk to somw SME's on it and see how I proceed.

I've got to stop googling because..... https://www.oztrack.com.au/index.php/2013-09-27-06-14-12/performance-camshaft-information 3. HPA/HP2- low 230s cam, lumpier and more up high power by a small margin over the LSV calmer than the GT. Biggest recommended cam in Automatics.

Purchased this To cover this Like this Because google and Ebay

I've got a mate who races postie bikes, but no.

I'm thinking a bobber type build, I'm to old and arthritic for a sports bike. Maybe a Triumph Speedmaster bobbered and murdered out. Fark, who am I kidding, It could end up being anything.....

To soon mate, to soon ? ?

Na...it would be fun, but end up real costly.

Yeah nah, I've had a go on a few jetskis but cannot really see their point. It's either going to be a car or bike I do keep looking at MX5's, ?, a NA or NB maybe?

No interest in real boats

Horray New blinker stalk = fixed cruise control You cannot have a cruise ship without auto-pilot And....as the #Bogancruiseship has a tow ball, I can now find a real project Maybe a motorbike for something different, and cheap (ish)

Now that will be a unicorn. I went looking for a clean unmolested S chassis and the only clean low km ones were $30k. Most of them look bent, abused, neglected or modified to within a inch of their life. There was one red S15 which was like new for $30k, which by the way, is what I should have got instead of the 86. Edit: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2001-Nissan-200SX-Spec-S-S15-Manual/SSE-AD-6384247/ this looks nice, I believe this exact car, or one blinding close, minus mods, was for sale for $30k 5 years ago.

LOL, it actually has quite a bit, BUT, if I follow my drills and use PPE I'll be fine. The car boot is full of hand sanitiser, black latex gloves, P2 masks and a good folding chair for when I need to wait somewhere, you need to be comfortable when sitting in the sun watching "Fringe" for hours on end during the apocalypse. Those new Hankook tyres are damn good as well. In other news: I'm thinking of swapping the middle 2 mufflers for some "cherry bombs". I think the car needs more "loud and obnoxious".

New shoes are on, 275 on the rear are #verysortofflush Also stopped at Strathfield car audio to see about replacing the stereo. f**k it, that pioneer thing will do, the guy is installing it as I type. To all audiophiles, as long as I can play the Cramps, the Misfits, some Leonard Cohen and can find ABC classic radio I'm fine. The headunit is mainly for Google maps and the phone.

The shift kit will have it hit the limiter in 3rd, is that the same as locked up? Paul said he just ran it up in 3rd (1:1?) and checked fueling, which was slightly rich, he said he could spend some time advancing the timing a bit to get a little more, but that it's not really cost effective to retune it for a small gain. I think it will stay like this. It's a comfy cruiser. I will wait for the apocalypse to finish then look at something "more sporty" then. Or, buy a 5.0 Mustang and blow it, maybe???? I'm f**king hopeless.

f**k knows, tell me more about this converter locking thingie you speak of.
