Reuben, its not SMASA - SMASA is Street Machine Association of South Australia which was the previous show... tomorrow is Old School & New Age Auto Show :D

:P

Err ... I knew that :P

nomination for thread of the decade, almost cried with laughter a few times http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...ead-t56368.html

2 hours til works ends for the week, cant wait.

speaking of funny, while I was on the job and in the middle of filming, my phone rang (normally turn it off if I remember).

Looked at it on the bluetooth (which is setup for auto answer after a few rings) and there was Mr (smartass) Madaz's name?

I kept filming as the thing auto-answered just to have Rick Astley pumping thru my car speakers and onto my video....could've killed the bugger (and I probably still will)!!

Ah, that would have been priceless for the client :P

lol just got pulled over for absolutely nothing (apart from being guilty of driving an import) while on a drive with my mum :P

They followed me out of littlehampton for a few kays, I knew it was gonna happen. After they'd finished they turned around, meaning they only followed me out of the servo and 3/4kays down the road to pull me over (in a stock looking Silvia) :/

Had they been called for an actual emergency in Mt Barker or somewhere they'dve lost minutes on response time for the sake of hassling another import driver.

Even my mum said it was utterly pointless :laugh:

Andrew, I got pulled over just then before just after lunch... just infront of my driveway! lol was in my dad's 4WD though - this silver VE Commodore speeding down the road to flick it's lights on just as I indicated to turn in my driveway... just to do a "random" license check.

    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
    • New rear lights, filler panel sprayed, cleaned and back together    before, during, after shots 😍
    • 100% is gyprock, I agree. Slip of the keyboard. Haha! I left my indicator bulbs out to save a bit of weight.
