Hmm, can't seem to find any place that sells holesaw kits for my intercooler piping. Been to Bunnings, Autobarn, Repco, Supercheap, and many others. Who the hell sells such a thing that I consider a simple tool? Might just do it the traditional way and mark out the circle using a suitable cup size and drill out the circumference!

Fitting new piping kit this weekend :(

you should notice more response. when i swapped over from the normal intercooler piping (under the washer) to the return flow one, i noticed more lag.

considering swapping back, but dont wanna cop a defect.

One of my good friends is involved with the adult entertainment industry. I know how much the pay rate is. OH. MY. GOD.

Haha the pay isn't too bad. I've got a few girl mates who work at various places around Australia and do those 'tours' of the places.

They're very interesting people to say the least... but they're all incredibly f**ked up.

Thank you for this valuable input to our community. Dont let the door hit you on your way out.

didn't go unnoticed and received a warning for his trouble

Flintware is another joint you could try......Steve, who is Marco Elbe's pit crew for the black '57 Keith Black Chev works there.

For what I used to earn (full time) in 2.5 months, she could get in 1 day lol

Well just got home from work so i decided to go and spend $1300 on the net.

CP Pistons: Check

Free MLS HG: Check (thrown in with the pistons)

Spool Rods: Check

ARP Head and main studs: Check, Picked up today from outlaws

ACL bearings: Check, Picked up today from outlaws

So the pistons are on their way from the states and the rest will be here by next week.

But the good thing about building a 4 cylinder engine, rebuild including parts and machining $2500. With another $500 to spend on the head (but been quoted $370 for the head work).

P.S. How good is Hoegaarden

Got to Blackwood tyre power this morning to get my tyres fitted to my new wheels and they tell me that only the rears had come in and that the fronts are still in a container somewhere in customs. Nice if they had let me know. So they are gona put secondhand ones on the fronts, and I'll have to make it back here next week to get them swapped over when they come in

Yes, that's right... we're heading down to Austi Beach Cafe for a breakfast run through the Royal National Park!

Itinerary: We will meet at Loftus Oval Carpark which has plenty of room and is low car friendly. This is a quick turn into the Royal National Park and some nice roads and scenery. After Stanwell Tops we will turn off and head onto the awesome Sea Cliff Bridge. Following this it is a short trip to Austi Beach Cafe. There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave. Thanks guys and hope to see you there!
    • YO- have been searching and searching for an a31 chassis plug pinout, or someone who knows which wire is for tach.  ceffy was flooded past dash during a hurricane.  having an electrical gremlin appear. tach is wonky reading consistent with a short, and on occasion the right side of my speedo lighting will flicker just for a second then go back to normal.  if no pinout available does anyone know if the tach harness opens or branches anywhere behind the dash? im suspecting a possible root behind the radio as there are more shorts in that area on the accessory loop.
    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
