so are you gonna be moving josh? over the whole noosa scene.

I’ve always been “moving”. I’ve been moving for the last 5 years, I’m more talk and less action. You know how it is, get comfortable, motivation gets hard.

Dads been waiting to go, his either to and from Brisbane, Melbourne or overseas. So not much keeping him here anymore either as my brother an I are old enough these days do move out.

I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place with some legal action, again but not transport related. Just gotta ride that out until I know how flexable i can be

i got myself a pretty sweet job here at the moment, receptionist/personal secretary at a new physio thats just opened up. but other then that noosa is crap...but whats worse then motivating myself is trying to motivate zaine...almost impossible

Spend 21 years getting dragged about the crapholes of the country (anywhere below Qld Border) and armpits of the world (places with shit that blows up and cretins trying to kill for their own personal zealotry)

Noosa starts looking pretty sweet.

w00t... as of 8am tomorrow when i set foot on brissy soil i'll officially be a brisbanite...

goddamn i'm gonna become some char glilled chicken lookin mofo.

Shonkymonkey. Official club sign on Barbie is this Saturday. Let me know if you want a pickup mate. Visit this thread after creating a user account http://www.sauqld.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=696 then get to our user friendly hotown. Your ass will be extra crispy after we give you a welcome mate.

Plus my boat arrives Thursday afternoon. That has to be a huge event. If I had a spare car I'd lend it, but meh all out, even with 5 cars :)

Your ass will be extra crispy after we give you a welcome mate.

lol how do you and the mrs use 5 cars at the same time? why do you keep 5 cars registered in the first place?

i'm on SAU QLD whoring now.

yes, thats the one... :huh:

as zaffas event is not posted in the events section :rofl:

Well I'm not sure whether its a good idea to or not due to it somewhat being part of an already organised meet up earlier in the night and thats not in events section?? :)

you would get better exposure in the events section...

also the chat threads were locked last time as they were being used to create events, so lets not go down that road again...

in short please use the events section... otherwise admin may take it away again (its a re-occuring theme over the past 4-5 years)

Shan, only 3 are registered, one racecar and the Lynx will have to go to a new home sometime.

zaffa, I don't mind if people head off to your cruise after, so have a good one mate.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
