Went Skydiving today... 14,000ft @ Nagambie (on the was to Shepp)

Wasn't too bad - nowhere near the rush i was expecting... So thinking about doing the solo course soonish.

ANYWAY, anyone interested in going up in the next couple of months??? Could organise a few of us to head up on a Sat etc etc.

I'll probably go another tandem again just to get a better feel for it now i know whats going on etc etc.

Overall it was great fun, such a weird sensation... :down:

Trust me when you see other parachuting down while your waiting it really makes you want to go. And seeing that no one plowed into the ground it also a plus lol. Mind you 14000 ft is above the clouds so you fall through them :D when you out there and already start falling any fear you have dissapears. It I'd an awesome sensation even though it really hurts your cheeks lol

We went for my birthday last month at Mission Beach north of Townsville QLD. Ment to be the best jump site in Aus because you can see the entire reef and coastline.

Ash if it wasn't the rush you were expecting you must have balls of steel! I thought it was insane!

I did the mission beach jump too, 14,000ft. Did it on a clear day so could see the whole ocean and beach. Was awesome.

The day before I jumped i was watching others skydive. One of the jumpers parachute didnt deploy and roman candled. He had to deploy the 2nd parachute which is much smaller and they both landed with a thud on the beach haha

Didnt stop me from going on my jump the next day haha

Ye my best mate did a jump from there or maybe Rainbow... somewhere up that north way... view was tops.

Seriously not the rush i was expecting at all. In the plane on the way up i wasn't even getting jittery about it all which was strange lol.

I was like "oh f**k" for about the first 2 seconds as we were spinning around but after that it was all sweet :)

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By sucram · Posted

      It will give gains, but you wont hit 600 It will give gains but it wont get you to 600 imo. You will also sacrifice low down and you will be adding extra volume if you port match it, more so if you port the plenum runners depending and how its done I think the only time youre going to see about 100hp gains is if the car is making well over 1k kw I do have a spare set that I was going to test with, but i dont actually think there is anything worth getting going larger. I did a fair few S14/S15 and the standard TB is fairly small, I went to 60 and in some cases 64mm which is significant over the stock unit. You can also get some weird ratio changes. I think 20kw will be a stretch on a roller dyno. If I had it apart I might mill the shafts a little and not expect much, I think the stock size is still pretty good for a street/track car even with larger capacity. I might change diameter it if its a drag only car

      rb25 Degreeing cams with hydraulic lifters?

      By r32-25t · Posted

      As long as the bucket stays against the cam then it will measure up fine, the valve will close compared to a running engine but the bucket will stay against the cam lobe

      I feel like i would be like most people who get these, excited for the first 3-6 months and then just totally forget about it. The end products do look sick tho. Ive got a 1/12 scale r32 model, dunno where im gonna actually display it once its all done!
