Greetings from the VERY rainy Gold Coast! We have 2 cyclones near here to contend with atm .... not happy Jan! Went to Sea World today and got rained on all bloody day ..... oh well was fun anyhow. Had a blast and absolutely beautiful weather Sunday for O'Reilly's Plateau tour (boardwalk in the top of rainforest trees), also for Monday at Dreamworld and Tues at Movieworld ..... so I can't really complain!

Back to the topic .... me the leader? .... bwahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha .... sorry just picking myself up off the floor :P ... anyways .... Brad - you know you can always have a passenger seat with me :(

So the ideas ..... yeah I'm up for any of the above suggestions. I especially agrre with John that if we're gonna go skiing we better go soon before the weather turns nasty!

But I'm up for anything! Catch you all and will elaborate when we get back Sunday!!! Gotta go for a surf now :P

Nothing like spending 10yrs as a bodyboarder on Sydneys inner city breaks to learn how to cope with aggro in the water :( And then for the total opposite, actually finding anyone 'keen' to go for a session @ Eagle Hawk Neck Reef (Tassie - my old local break) on a gloomy 8'-10'+ storm swell (300 yard paddle over known pointer territory!) But the big pits & end bowl is WORTH IT :)

k we should get something planned - but next weekend is a bad option since we are having Drifty's cruise Friday night (I'm looking forward to that one!). Two SAU related events in one weekend is a bit much (for the missus to bear :D )

Then the drags are on the weekend after (5th)

Then it is my 1 year wedding anniversary the weekend after (don't even try to get me to go out that weekend - I value my life)

.... so unfortunately it looks like I am out till the weekend 19/20th April.

Hmmmmm

If u all wanna do something sooner then organise away - but my hands are tied till then :D

It will be a reasonable SAU gathering at the drags on the 5th so why don't we organise some name tags etc and have a bit of a proper social gathering there? Someone could bring a barbie and esky and we could do it in the dirt :(

What are you saying Pawley only women should cook. Im half offended, When you do it for a living atleast 10 hours per day there is only so much I can handle. Was your car up at the Shops near the Bremen pub the other day. Id take up two parks too with your car.

    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
    • So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
    • Some sense has prevailed! What kind of idiot spends money on intake, heads, and cams for a N/A motor in 2025? Lol. What maroons. Source:I am King Maroon.
    • So, cams are not getting installed......yet  Had a good chat with MX5 Mania about intakes, they recommend not to get ITB's, they recommend a plenum style for the NC So, one of these puppies is being ordered, with a larger TB to suit, when it arrives from the US the car will go in for the cams and intake I'm also getting a fancy rear box bit for the air filter box which will suit the new TB size
    • Clamp meter is pointless. Unless you're trying to keep average current under a set value for some weird reason (maybe you undersized your wiring?), then you'll get no useful info. What you're really trying to target is the flow of fuel coming back to the tank. You want some, but not a lot. You also want to make sure fuel pressure remains stable.   So, fuel pressure gauge, and fuel flow gauge. Set it up from that.
