Hey guys

Went fishing one night out at the gold coast with my brother - We caught a friggen weird fish ahah, dont know what it is.

Was casting out just south of the bridge that heads into the city at the coast.

We only caught one of these weird ass fish -

It was a silvery/grey colour with light goldish shadings in areas. It was in the dark and it sort of looked like the top of its body was greenish.

It was about 40-45cm and weigh maybe 2kg

It had no scales and it was not a catfish... It's skin felt... like normal skin :S

It was slimy as hell

The head was fairly large - It was really ugly.

It made noises when we had it out of the water

I can't think of anything else to describe it - I have put a photo below of the shape I remember it by... Dont trust me drawing haha.

It was worth the catch becuase we had a good laugh over it for a couple of days.

I believe you caught a tailor my friend. Good catch :D good fighting fish, was it jumping out of the water and trashing about like crazy when you were realing it in? These fisha re great fighting fish, i assume you were either using a heavy mono trace or wire trace as these bite straight through standard line 90% of the time.

Haha ladies ladies..

Actaully my brother said "It's a baby whale" to his girlfriend as a joke and she was "OHHH REALLY.. Thats why its head is so big?"

LOL!

RE: Tailor

Nah mate it wasn't a tailor - This fish had no scales. Tailor usually have quite big scales hehe...

Anyways... After googling for quite some time I came across a nine-msn news page.

http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=450287

I'm 99% sure that was the thing... It's ashame I didn't take a photo becuase I'm going by what I saw at about 11pm at night with hardly any light haha.

One thing that is strange though.. as it's a 'puffer fish'... But this fish we can't stayed the same size in and out of the water. It was also quite larger than this one in the picture.

Side note: Check out what the toxin's in this fish do to you!!!

"The fish contains a poison known as tetrodotoxin, a neurotoxin which paralyses a person's muscles and for which there is no antidote."

    • 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:
