hey guys,

just wondering if any of you happened to be on gouger street saturday night. between 1-2am

i just happened to be driving through at the time to pick up a friend, and i heard all these bang sounds and then alot of the cars in front of me were doing uturns, i thought nothing of it, i just thought kids were fkin round with firecrackers or something, and then i turned down the side street just before Esco Bar to find a park and a sus looking silver 4wd was coming towards me and then suddenly reversed real fast and went the other way and gunned it out of there, everything was real smoky and all i kept hearing were bangs and i noticed there were smoking shell casings everywhere on the road.

just a story to tell you guys, i didnt get the number plate of the 4wd or anything, so not really any help to the police - but yeah, were any of you guys there and knew exactly what happened ?

Yeah, like the two diners who were there "hours before". They were probably miles away from it at the time :) Diners are usually ushered out about midnight at most venues. But trust the kiwis wanting to get into the spotlight on aussie soil :)

I'd have more warrant saying I was in London just days before the bombings, in those particular areas that were bombed ... which I was!

surely that would have made you think that it was a shooting?

1 shot or 500 shots.......its still pretty f**king dangerous.....specially in or around china town where it is busy most of the time anyway....public safety as risk....where are the cops when that happened....ohh thats right patrolling the streets looking out for hoons.....

yesterday morning i heard them say on the radio that there was a shoot out between 2 cars and there were about 15 shots fired between the 2 cars and they arrested 3 people over the incident.... But who knows what really happend what the media release is never the same as what happened.

I was out on the bike with a couple others till pretty late in Hindley last night, eating outside 'Yannis' but didn't hear anything from there.

Apparently Hells Angels were involved.

Hope no authorities are looking for our bikes.

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
