i disagree if you setup up your ride height to a similar to factory height you wouldn't need and alignment if you say take an inch or 2 out you probably might

Right.... This is probably why i find that some jap cars have seized toe bolts, and are out by 21mm. (Treating them like commodores in my opinion)

Not to mention the fact its a 40 dollar, every 10,000km kinda thing. i spend more money on a cruize.

no skin of my back if he doesn't get a wheel alignment,

just i know that his toe would be out. and its good to check all the figures are even after installing coil-overs.

either way you don't NEED a wheel alignment, but your car does handle better, steer better, and wear tires better if you do.

Hence the fact i wheel align my car ever 5000km with oil change. (i would still do it even if i didn't work at bob Jane)

all this talk of wheel alignments... i should probably get one done soon.

oh yeah, crickets boring as batshit. football interests me about as much as cancer does. and id rather stab myself with a diseased needle then sit through a game of tennis.

Looking at all the cruise pictures, it's pretty low that cops had made such a huge presence on a cruise like that, considering what they're actually cruising for.

Sure, it's no excuse, and there's plenty of defectable cars... blah blah blah... but it's still bullshit.

I counted about 5 or 6 people getting defected... in the car park.

The end of the cricket was bloody awesome - apart from the fact that we lost.

Very exciting game though - never thought we would post such a low total either :huh:

Not liking the cricket is unAustralian and should be against the law. Fair enough test cricket can be a bit slow at times (that what all the beer drinking is for), but the one dayers are all action.

+1. I dont care how Pommie the game is, we have dominated it for decades, making it OUR game! Every team over the last 10 years at least have been waiting for this time, where Australia has to regrettably rebuild, and become a team again.

Decades? I guess you dont remember the 80s when the West Indies would rip the nads off the Australians repeatedly... and ya certainly can't claim it to be 'OUR' game when the indians are dominating the game from the admin level upwards...

Paint drying or cricket. At least with paint drying u get to kick back and admire the handiwork

so maybe years was the word i was after, not decades.

I still just dont see how a one dayer or 20-20 is boring to watch? Yesterdays game was boring, but a full on game like Aus v South Africa, aus posting the highest one day total ever, then south africa chasing it down. That was a damn exciting game to watch.

Dunno about 20/20, one dayers are >more< interesting to watch than test matches, but its still pretty bloody dull... and playing cricket in australian weather? 40+ ? Forgeddddit, you couldn't force me to be a spectator in those conditions, let alone a player... soccer, while boring as hell to watch (not least for the pansies that roll over clutching their legs and then taking a free kick without any visible physical discomfort) is actually pretty fun to play... afl, while its far far too athletic for a portly bloke like myself, can change at any given time and generally has more goals/points scored often than the single goal in soccer, or the occasional 6 hit in cricket.

Don't get me wrong. When the guys smash the ball and start running, it becomes interesting. But how many overs do u generally have to go thru before someone hits a screamer?

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
