tomorrow! risotto was a good idea tonight after all.

hope it doesn't strip paint

ahk... cause i googled and this came up: http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/online-store/products/Chemtech-CT14-Degreaser-1-Litre.aspx?pid=10389#@cross its just a degreaser. Im trying to get an insane amount of dead bugs off the hilux, and also try to get the black rubber/tarmac marks on the side of the pulsar.

#@ARTZ what is that/where do you get that truck wash you're always praising?

lol. "i heard that pettit is an ex navy seal and his whole family were killed by a skyline that crashed into the harbour on "bring your family to work" day... " "Some say that he'd have found Osama Bin Laden if he was driving a "high powered" Ford XR6 sedan" Does knox have any good places to eat? i dont frequent there much.

im assuming monthly meet will be in 2-3 weeks or there abouts... this is an unofficial excuse to not have to cook dinner.

Come tonight/tomorrow for food and will take you for a spin. ? the car? stock SSS, been through 2 U13 motors I think and then went GTiR motor... then I bought it and put another GTiR motor in it. Exhaust leak fixed. Cihan got the tune done, so he's happy with it. Just asked me to make sure boost doesnt go over 20psi because he set it with the exhaust leak and just wanted to make sure it didnt go over. Not sure how much car weighs... friend of mine is getting his keys to vicroads weigh stations soon, so just waiting on that. Am curious though.

Manifold getting machined... bitch of a job, but much better than it was. Lesson learnt: for a quick check of a flat flange, put a straight piece of steel across it and look for gaps dont know what I didnt think of that Wasnt really happy that a silicone/sealant was used on the gaskets so scrapped it all off. The other gasket on the spacer side was ok, but got 2 fresh 7-layer metal gaskets because they were the only 2 in Aus, apparently (had to get them from QLD). Apparently more coming in a month or two. can see the fairly sharp piping leading to the intercooler I was helping out trying to bolt the manifold down and it was a prick. Not sure if it was the tough steel or the ceramic coat but it was really hard to cut through. Chewed through 3 mill drill bits. Left a rough finish to help "grab" the exhaust gasket. Was recommended some nice lock nuts from Amron Industries in Rowville, they do all sorts of cool car bits but dont seem to have a decent website. These were specific for turbo applications. Tried to fit some 55mm long (overall length) studs, but were way bigger than expected and struggled to squeeze them on with the manifold piping. Found some shorter Wurth exhaust studs and used those. Took the car for a spin last night and my rajab. 5krpm is wheel spin in 1st-4th but grips quickly and shoots off. I havent riden in any/many modified GTRs or anything, but this felt like light speed + VTEC from the drivers seat haha. I really want some dyno graphs though, has such a strong top end it makes the low-mid feel lacking in comparison. Tried to do a video but was pretty bad, so will make a better one soon hopefully.

looked great out there, sounded sick too.

awesome, thanks! maybe for next monthly meet? As for tonight... any takers? otherwise will probably get kebab in Braeside then go play pool at kings or something.

got pulsar back last night, all fixed. hooollly shit. its quick. was supposed to be testing to make sure boost wasnt going over 20psi, I couldnt even pay attention to the speedo. wheel spin in 4th gear is pretty scary lol.

nice night here/tonight really? and a nice evening for cheezles. it's a marvellous car with really comfy seats

thursday?

Suggest a place. Anything on the Brooklyn side of the Westgate doesnt count. must have half-decent parking. Meet at 7pm. I feel like a good burrito but parking is always an issue. Only things I can think of are Kebab on boundary rd, near lower dandy rd or usual Kebab joint on cnr Springvale/Dandenong rd.

needs more GTX http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/440875-fs-garrett-gtx4708r-turbo/

looks like a good day. For that price its hard to say no to entering. Will force me to wash the car too wait... does "Classic Japanese" mean older than, say 1990 or something?

does micra get wheelspin now? hows it running?

so wheels are getting painted, not powdercoated? any reason why?

lol I was kidding. unless you really do want to see vampire academy.... lets do kebabs tomorrow night. impromptu meet. free pulsar shotguns for all!

yeah sorry, meant 21mm... didnt know they could be undone with 17mm sockets. Thought they were a 7-sided nut so cant us conventional sockets/spanners. Can vouch for quality of those nuts. can get them cheap on ebay (probably stolen though as $130 is probably below cost)

if anyone knows anyone with a red/black R31 with white 6-spoke wheels thats been stolen, its been ditched across north rd from Monash Clayton

lets just meet at Southland carpark and go see Vampire Academy or something

if referring to these... they are outside and 19mm socket too, but lock nut has got plenty of length on it. there are heaps of inside lock nuts, just need to shop around. with wheels like that, i'd also be careful of how much thread you got available for the nuts. If not much, say hello to longer studs too. yay.

Me thinking that was supposed to be May, since this month has had a couple of events. But keen on dyno day since exhaust leak fixed today (been waiting on metal exhaust gaskets) Also wondering if there will be any more monthly meets? any excuse to not have to plan dinner/resort to eating saladas.

^ will have to use that one in future. its funny. who would use/have a stock image of some old man dying??
