Dinner you ask sir Josh... :(

For dinner I cooked, half and onion, 2 bits of garlic some diced bacon in a pan on a high heat. With a healthy splash of extra virgin olive oil (has to bee top quality oil) Then added some chicken sliced thin from the breast and some chopped up fresh tomatoes. The I added some button mushrooms sliced thin and let cook for 5 minutes. Then added some tomato pesto and 3/4 cup of fresh cream and reduced to a simmer.

Then i boiled up some egg pasta for 10 minutes until soft, then added the pasta to the reduced pasta sauce...

Served in deep square bowl and garnished with chuck cheese and some spring onion, fresh ground black pepper...

Then served with a nice bottle of Windem Estates Shiraz 2005, which had been breathing for 2-3hours...

PS. Im not straying from the truth, Im a pretty good cook... :(

I like details!

im not a bad cook either when I try. Sounds tastey, i must try sometime

yeh fair enough if you like what you do don't risk changing it. plus you get to cook at home as much as you like and invent in the comfort of your own home :(

I liked the look of the car very much. It was very straight apart from the couple dings I already knew about. There was a tiny bit of rust on the rear left panel but the interior was immaculate. Strange for a 180! He also has a black top s14 sr20 with forged pistons already in for 4k so i'm seriously thinking about taking that off his hands too.

Damn straight, I actually love cooking...

If I didnt like what i do now, id become a chef...

I was a glorified kitchen hand (dish pig) when I was 12 and did that until I was about 15 while, was offered the opportunity to do the apprenticeship and what not, too be honest the money isn’t worth the hours. You only earn a good 6 figure income if you own the place, which is a whole nother story in it’s self with making it work and last!

But I like what i do now too much to become a chef...

Plus i reckon if you did it every day for long hours you would get the shits with it pretty quick...

You do, chefs become very anti social after awhile and just start hating everyone (from what I’ve noticed). I had a run in with an ex pat when I was younger, got so bad we both had to be pulled into line

If you were to buy one of them, pay the extra couple of hundred and get the pro9500

Ive got heaps of sample prints here at home (hanging from my walls :( )

When your spending $20 per sheet of paper you want quality and the pro9500 is the best on the market under 2 grand...

    • You're not wrong, but more than a few times I've heard of people running into issues where their injector characterization isn't quite right and that approach works for that specific configuration but once they switch over to a new set they discover a whole bunch of stuff wasn't set up correctly. It's slightly more annoying to reverse engineer the OEM MAF transfer function but you already have the sensor wired up to the factory harness so keeping it around for a few weeks more while you figure out the tune is easy enough. I've seen GM also use a combination of both MAF + MAP in their ECUs before, MAF is for steady state and a calculation of the cylinder VE to correct the base VE table, then in transients it uses that calculated VE + raw MAP to determine cylinder filling somehow.
    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard
