I got re-aquainted with my couch, slept a lot, did a "Friends" marathon and bought a rug.

You've got to haggle haggle.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

On a serious note, anyone looking for rugs should head straight for haggle co, we went to rugs-a-million formerly solomons rugs then went to haggle, MUCH better prices for much bigger and better quality rugs. Rugs a million had 1 sales person on and 2 customers in the store, haggle had about a bizillion people working and the shop was chock-a-block full of customers and I can see why. Bought a big white shaggy rug (for shagging).

The price was so good I didn't even haggle and what I walked out thinking "(!!!!!) You idiot the store is CALLED haggle and you didn't! What's the matter with you!!"

Where did you go up river Carl? We have family property at Sundlands/Hogswash/Waikerie and went up there for a night Thurs Friday. Fishing was a bit slow, but still managed to get a decent size Redfin, and a couple of nice 50cm Callop for dinner. The mixed half a dozen of red wine (incl. 04 Redman Cab Sav, 02 Leasingham Classic Clare Cab, 00 Pepper Tree Shiraz and others), bottles of Wild the sphincter of the universe and Johnny black, after downing a carton of James Squire Golden Ale and a carton of Palies in the afternoon made for 5 VERY sore heads on Saturday though :D

i was on a property called cordola that is about 15 k south of morgan. its awesome cos there is almost nothing there, have to take water, and dig a hole in the ground for when nature calls.

its pretty much my favourite time of year because i can jst unwind and spend days asleep under a tree, or asleep on a boat holding onto a fishing line (we didnt catch a thing lol)

joisus, got a bit of a shock today. went to nissan to price a high spec lip for the 200, they wanted close to $1300 for the f**kin thing. yikes.

on the bright side, compression test came up good, 140-145 across the board, leak down test didnt show anything note worthy (or anything at all rather), and i found a seat rail for my velo. awesomes. :D

now i just gotta source a lip and some rear pods though... ;)

    • Yes, it's similar length. 
    • Is the CD009 similar length from bell to shifter?    car will just be for the street with the odd track day. It’s RB30det, and weighs about 1000kg
    • The r34 gearbox is like $3400/3700 landed from Japan sometime last year.   Contact jessestreeter.com for info and quotes. From memory the navara gearbox needs input shaft machined down as I looked into a while back and there's a thread somewhere here from 2018-2021 about it. Depends on what your doing with the car maybe worth the dollars to go cd009 or a 8hp50/70.
    • VCAM doesn't really increase peak power, it just widens the powerband. So if you were giving up power with adjustable cam gears to get better low-end response yes in theory it "increases power" but otherwise not really. Stroker kit might put you in a more efficient region of the compressor map which will get you more power but at say 7000 rpm I'm not sure that much will change. The original HKS GT2530, -5s, and GTX2860R gen 2 are all roughly the same kind of turbo. If you want 600 horsepower those are the turbos you need. So 500 whp. Just expect to spend some quality time trying to figure out intake/exhaust piping. The "twin turbo" pipe is an obvious place to start. Make sure the actuator preload and all of that fun boring stuff is set up correctly. Throw a VCAM step 2 at it if you want good response, 2.8L stroker too. If you're not actually wedded to 500 whp all the time you can barely get there with -7s or Nismo R3 turbos, you just have to run E85 or race gas and run them hard:
