better not be too much down here (nsw qld border) i have a game of golf on tomorrow morning...

no offence meant buddy, but surely a some decent rainfall for you guys down there is a little more important than golf..... from what we hear up here you guys are in a serious drought......

It's not that bad, it's just that the rain dosen't fall where it is needed due to bad planning of dam location many years ago.

fair as nuts

was down on the border of vic/nsw last november at is is shocking down there

at least we can wash our cars up here :)

I wouldnt go that far, as there arent that many options for damn placements... But thats another story. You say its not that bad, wait for level 5 next month :) Thats going to hurt a bit more than people may think.

No I meant that it isn't that bad as far as rainfall levels go. My grass is green and the weeds are going strong without any additional water. If I had a rainwater tank, I am sure that it would have overflowed plenty of times. Just when you go out west (Ipswich area) that you notice it.

its rained here pretty much every nite of the week this week (well, there was water on my back deck in the mornings anyway)

we did get a good thunderstorm about a month ago though.... best for years.....

my oldies are still back in cairns, cant believe dry its been up there

they loved the storm the other nite when the lions played the saints and it was a big bog

not like cairns to be dry . . ..

ha ha putting a dam on the largest catchment by far in our area is a heaps bad Idea

Well where has it got us? Why all this talk about puting a dam in the Gympie area?

Common sense states that you will always get more rainfall east of the hills (ie. Mt Glorious, Nebo). It's all well and good puting in in a big catchment area, but if that catchment area isn't going to provide much water in the future then it's not much use.

There are plenty of other options out there. Look at how much water goes into the storm water system and then out to sea. Rain water tanks should have been thought of by the government years ago, not just now.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
