  1. How do you delete the images in my "My Attachments" file please I want to clear it out but cant seem to find a delete function ! Thanks in advance
  2. Its also about supply cost here in Aus. For what we do, we were getting ethanol supplied at around $1.25/L. Now due to the Corvid 19 hand sanitizer manufacture its jumped to over $5.00/L
  3. A 300hp holden 202 N/A engine is a very good power out put for that motor. I know cause I cut my teeth on the Holden 6 for many years and am working on an ongoing supercharged nostalgia project.
  4. Nope ! As far as I'm aware, from my dinosaur chemical brain, its about the same as pump gas for viscosity and energy. Was looking at it many years ago, when I was blending fuels for high performance engines, when they started discontinuing high octane leaded fuels.
  5. Dont know why, in Australia, we've never gone down the Butanol path, a direct replacement for the fuel we now use, with out any engine mods and can be made from the vast amount of waste vegetable production that never makes it to market that gets plowed back into the ground cause its to big, wrong colour, wrong shape or has slight blemishes on it.
  6. I didn't realize it till I saw it and it is now my dream car ! Forget the Aston Martin Vulcan I've been saving for ( for the next 300 life times ) I can have this beauty NOW ! !
  7. Corvid19 has destroyed my Putty Rd adventures ! I think I've now got a form of driving cabin fever. What to do . . . . . . .
  8. Reliable ? I have a daily R33 and it now has over 420000 km on the clock with the original engine(I got it in from Japan with 49000 km) It was stock standard when I got it which was the stipulation when I was searching for one. And I can tell you it was hard to find an unmolested one back around 12 years ago I really didn't want to stuff around with someone elses problems. I have since personalized the car to what I like for driving Service it every 5000km and I mean EVERY 5000km and keep up the other regular wear and tear maintenance you'll get ages of driving pleasure. The only issue will be now finding a absolute standard one will be difficult.
  9. Don't you mean dim sum ?
  10. Nope ! Spark plug cleaner is my friend ! ! Take em out at every 5K service, clean and inspect, put back in.
  11. NGK BKR5E These have been running in my car for 12 years
  12. Was it insured ?
  13. Dion the same for my car and tried to find if Veilside did a matching tacho but I cam up with nothing
  14. Way to slow ! It died last week. And as my car is a daily I had to reco a 9 puck steel Nismo flywheel I had spare in the garage. Its now in and Ive got to look at recoing my Carbonetic Carbon twin plate for the 3Litre
  15. Oh Nooooooo Johnny ! I know a guy who works in a paint place ! I could of hooked you up.
  16. Oh you tempt me badly you evil man !
  17. They didn't lose it Happened to me with a custom tow bar years ago with my first Skyline. Work shop took it off to do some work on the car and when a a metal collection guy came around scavenging for scrap steel they told him to take it.
  18. Something to consider: High Performance Ford 4L Krogdahl twin cam engine based on AU block:
  19. Welcome to SAU ! These some wicked camber on those fronts. Throw up some more pics of your engine set up and that's some good power on that set up !
  20. E100 is yummier ! Oh no just had a flash back to "the good old days" with my holden 6 !
  21. Correct ! Again another issue ! However the macro calculations in the spectro program for automotive colours "should" have pearl inclusion included in it for it to work it out. Again you then run into the different particle sizes in the pearl suppliers over time since the car was painted originally. I the end the only way is to use both the spectro and a very good colour matcher for the final visual approval on the car.
  22. Sigh . . . . so what they are saying is they couldn't be bothered and all they want is to hit you up for a complete respray. All that is required with the spectrophotometer is for them to take multiple readings off the body panels. The colour matching program will average out the results and then generate the formula that is required. Ive seen this many times over the years with paint places not utilizing their spectros to their full potential. There are other factors as well but that will involve a bunch of sciency wyencie explanations into the differences in metal and plastic panels
