yeah good dinner. nice to see most of the old crew together, and some new faces come too which is what it's about. :D

and for sure, charlie didn't miss a trick. he tucked into some nice looking chicken and even had desert the smart arse.

and merlin, need to do something with the exhaust on the beemer mate. you know I'm a closet german, and I love the BMW 6 too, but it needs some kind of hard core straight through system to let that thing really scream.

hehehe... No, I'm not going to modify that car. That is one car that I AM concerned about retaining its resale value :D

Great dinner guys... Sorry I got trapped into the corner and couldn't talk to everyone... I tried to sit in the middle of the table, but as usual the late comers forced the early birds to shuffle down :D BAKA-DESU!

Any ideas for next month's dinner venue? Old favourites or new and exciting suggestions welcome!

That red wine wasn't too bad Pete- who would have thought you'd know anything about alcohol :(

Thanks for organising everyone Merli- that was one of the best dinners in a long time!

How about that Mexican place in North Sydney for the next one? From memory that was pretty good food?

Agreed with all above, thanks for organising this Andrew! Food was great, and having had a look at the menu, it's so cheap too!

Hmm, ideas for the next one? What area do we want to head to (or avoid)? What cuisine, too (or are we gonna stick to Asian)?

there are two places i would suggest, there is an africa place at nuetral bay that is really nice and a morrocan place in randwick i would like to go to ....

actually since i eat out 90% of my life there is zillions of places i could suggest however most of them are near the city...

Kel - Had to Happen... Yep, food there was pretty good. Who's gonna ask for a side of habanero peppers again? :D Sounds good! Can we do it next month though?

I really like the suggestion of Radio Cairo in Neutral Bay! I love the food and atmosphere there, pretty much tailor made for an SAU Monthly Dinner!

Anyone else been there that can attest to it's greatness? :P

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
