Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

What happened to the job at Indooroopilly? Thought you were meant to be working on the renovations there.

Also, if you end up working on road projects I'm going to hold you personally responsible for every pothole I hit from now until eternity :P

We still have the job at Indro but looks like I'll be changing jobs. Got a job offer that is pretty much twice what I'm on now 14/5 roster with 2 days for flying.

Find any TIs?

+1

f**kin unlikely you'll ever be driving on these roads anyway

Easy enough to blame you any way

sweet news on the job offer!

so is that 14 on, 1 fly, 5 off, 1 fly?

Yeah that's pretty much how it goes. Director wants to have a meeting on Monday to discuss it but I'm pretty set on leaving. Will be putting in my resignation on Monday and then probably be starting out there in the 22nd of May or something like that. Need to hang around to get completion stuff sorted on this project.

Mmmmmmm...

no parts to work on the leopard and too raining to work on the skyline

lazy sunday it is

I've got 2500 words to write and so far all I've done is watched Top Gear and Jimmy Carr...

After fitting the exhaust my coilpack misfire (or so i assume) seems worse. (although it only happened on track...not after i left lakeside)

there are plenty of threads on coilpacks etc on the forums, but i thought id come ask you guys personally. ive done the tape and silicone thing about 40k ago, and has lasted well since then. but now its time to replace. so my question is......(drum roll)

are yellow jackets, or the red coilpacks any good? or should i just go for the splitfires for a whole lot more folding cash? i wanna stay with standard location and fitment for the sake of keeping it neat underneath with minimal hassle (yeah i'm a bit slack at times)

I'm running yellow jackets, no complaints so far!

Straight fit and they are working like a charm.

Might be worth checking your voltage at the coil packs though, as my missing was caused by voltage drop in the wiring, fixed by a relay.

In other news, morning mangs, f*ck mondays. Did manage to get some work done on the leopard (re-fitted coil packs and replaced fuel lines), and the sun came out so I could at least swap the tyres back on the wedge.

Now definitely need leopard parts for more progress :(

cheers man, i heard you saying something like that the other day about the voltage drop. i can fix pretty much anything mechanical...but am entirely useless when it comes to electrics. So i really wouldnt know where to start. could prob find the right wires, but as for testing...thats where i get lost.

yellow jackets might be the go, my old coils have done 40k with the tape job done and that lasted a while (might even have another look)

    • Shortly after I do the usual full exhaust/ fmic/fuel pump/ R33 turbo and still get flogged at the lights by i30Ns
    • Is Chris from Craved Coatings still around? He is an ex SAU guy and did great powder coating (back in the day at least)
    • Bumping this thread yet again, has anyone ever tried putting yet another vacuum regulating valve on the hose that goes between the turbo inlet? Something local owners have mentioned is the Radium breather pipes de-restrict the valve cover but it actually produces an undesirable outcome in practice, way too much air is sucked out of the crankcase and a ton of oil comes with it as well. As far as I can tell the PCV diaphragm in these modern euro wet sump performance engines is active during boost as well, there's just a check valve to block boost from entering the valve cover and crankcase as there's no inherent check valve function in these diaphragm-type valves. Hopefully I'll be able to try some of this out soon. The Volvo XC90 4.4 V8 has a nice external version of these things.
    • So when will the Samsonas, twin scroll turbo setup on go?
