hey all

today i was coming back from brisbane city, on vulture street east, as i was traveling down i saw this nice holden ute with some nice 19s on it, coz of trafic i caught up to him and gave him nod and said nice car, he said thanks u 2, anyway

i was watchin this falcon in fron of me in a side street and was thinkin hes comin out so i slowed and so did the ute. but then we both didnt expect this young prick in a cortina also come out from the side street,

luck i saw him and hit the ancors to let him in but i think he may have been on drugs or drunk coz he swerved into the other lane(where the nice ute was) and nearly slammed him, was the closest call i have ever seen and the cortina shit himself and went back up the same street he darted out of.

now i had to hit the picks hard to let this stupid prick in and there was enuff room, but he still swerved, this makes me think he was on something i was ready to pull over as a witness for this guy in the ute but luckily and i meen it was luck they didnt hit. my arm wouldnt have fitted between the gap that was between them.

i just get frustrated with the extent of people that venture out in their cars knowing full well that they are in a state that greatly increases the risk. it coulda been very ugly today, this guy in the ute i commend him on his driving as he avoided the hit very well the closest shit i have ever seen

if you have been drinking, smoking taking coke whatever plez do not opertate a car or anything on the road, this was a very close call due to stupid behaviour and it is just not worth the damage u may cause. a $40 cab ride is a small price to pay if you kill someone or yourself.

I pleed to everyone be careful, if this ute drive and i werent watchin the road i dunno what woulda happened. predict and react to your surroundings, concentration is the key.

anyway thats my rant, everyone be careful and plz dont use substances and then drive just not worth it.

he may just have been an idiot and just plain didn't see the ute.

but i have no sympathy for drink drivers (or drug drivers). my cousin was killed when a drink driver swerved onto the wrong side of the road and hit the ute my cousin was in.

i really think they need to get an accurate way to test drivers for drug use. that will stop a fair few accidents i think.

by the way the passanger and driver looked, there is no way they couldnt have seen us, and they look f**ked outta there gawd

the falcon that pulled out first was pushin it, so this guy had to be on something

i have a few mates that have drunk drove and have lucky not to kill someone or themselves, both were caught by the cops, one of em was 4 times over the limit when he crashed into a poll, i have no sympathy for them and they deserve the penalty they got.

what if the poll was a person walkin their dog, dead for sure

its just not worth it people, i know of 2 of my mates mates he had to watch them die as the ambos got him outta the car, coz if there is people they can save they tag the ones that they cannot and focus on the one who will live

all becuase of a guy that was .08 over on his p's and now he is in jail, but jail is nothing he has to live with the guilt that he killed 2 people at age of 19

its not woth the risk plz dont do it ever get a cab, or bus or sleep in a hotel.

    • 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 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
