I watched this last night and i couldnt believe who i saw in the vid blocking out all the other photographers as the Gt500 car rolled out!! Why its the Beer baron!

I still cannot for the life of me understand how you managed to get this close to the GT500 car BB...

It boggles my mind.

Isn't it time you admitted your true feelings for the Beer Baron Adam?

Im sorry? You wouldnt be insinuating I'm homosexual by any chance now would you? Far be it for someone the caliber of an upstanding man such as yourself, right?

Actually, i quite fancy you nickyboy.

あほ。

lol, I don't mind. I know I'm all that.

and you are right. I look like a bloodnut in those pics. it's that late afternoon fuji sun that does it. I'm not a ginger ninja. I swear.

personally I think I blend in fairly well. I even dutifully stood my ground to get a good possie for like 20 min before it rolled out!

the strange thing is you would think being 6'2" would disuade the much smaller japanese gentleman from pushing me too much, but I have learnt that trying to come between a japanese man with a camera, and something worth shooting is like trying to stop a shinkansen with your hand as it heads into a tunnel. you have a high chance of getting knocked down.

Yep and throw a scantily clad woman into the mix and youve got mayhem stampede.

lol, scantily clad women mean I have to watch where I step as there are usually so many guys laying on the ground for up-skirt that there is a high danger of one of them accidentally copping my size 12 shoe on the back of the head, or even worse on the top of they mega yen canon lense.

Pm me some deets.

Perhaps nick could have helped you out too, except he binned his copy.

The top has got to go.

Is that a disposable camera? I could have sworn you were cranking at a wheel on the thing...

lol, yeah it's one of those throw away jobbies. canon 400d. I was probably adjusting settings with the wheel on the top. :laugh:

and nytsky, hands of the jumper mate! it is a nice jumper! just colours are all a bit weird in that late afternoon sun. I mean fark it's hugo boss. though I must admit it is a bit reminiscent of freddy krugers outfit.

and I guess it's true that troy and I were separated at birth. all this time I was a bloodnut and never knew it. it took japanese technology to show my inner ginger. :D

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate
