hmm still i would of thought you would of got more than that.

woot scuba diving is awesome I love it the other group of five pulled out so there is just 3 of us the other two are cool people and we ended up having extra time left over to work on anything we wanted. I am trying to master hovering but damm its hard.

yeah i started playing with weights and found 5 weihts were fine two either side of my hips and one in the small of my back. I was working on trying to control my breathing so i sit in different areas in the colum of water.

i'm learning with pro dive we have been doing all the pool work at bulimba and next weekend we go to straddie and do 2 shore dives and 2 boat dive. I have always wanted to do it but have kept putting it off. I am enjoying it so much I will be buying my own fins, boots, snokel and mask.

me and my dad go diving out of our boat a fair bit, prehaps you can come along once your qualified? :mad:

We have our own gear (masks, tanks, vests, fins, etc).

If I was you id go for a lighter weight with less air in your vest. For a start, you wont waste as much air inflating it, you will be more mobile as well as a large amount of weights can be quite uncomfortable. Also, inflating the vest reduces your ability to move around.

Also, how thick is your wetsuit? A thicker wetsuit will cause added bouncy. Personally, I wear a 7mm set of johns and a 5mm top, which adds quite alot of floatation to my setup, meaning I dont have to use a whole lot of air at all to maintain even bouancy (I cant spell that word :wave:)

ahh i was only in a pool so buoyancy is going to be tricky at best, I didn't have the BCD inflated much. I was wearing a 5m wetsuit but wasn't a springer suit. I have passed all the theory and we have done most of the prac next weekend is our first dives in the ocean and as the instructer said it will take us a little bit at the start to setup out equipment but he is very surprised at how quick we have all picked up the skills (esp removing the bcd underwater and putting it back on).

How good are the mares fins as these are a set i am looking at or the aqualung fins?

cool. i used to go snorkelling off mooloolaba in the bay, when i was younger. but i dunno juststopped going, but scuba is alot better if u wanna go deep reef diving.

troy, once u are qualified u have to come up and dive the hmas brisbane off mooloolaba, that would be a good dive, lots of marine life down there since its been sunk. they showed pictures of it on the news a while back 1 year after it was sunk, fish have made it there habitat very quickly same with the coral etc

    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
