I wouldn't say a "star" yet :( But in all modesty, I have potential.

This time I've teamed up with a guy from Australian Idol 2006.

I've got a bunch of great songs and with his voice and $5k of recording/mastering I think we can create something farking awesome :P

After that will come photoshoots, a website, and all that marketing bullshit.

Will be a long and expensive process but IF it's successful then yeah, I won't be bothering with $10k cars anymore :(

Yeah sound good.

$5K!!!

Well you know being in a band is an investment.

You played any shows yet?

You either make it or brake it, so play a lot of shows, sell merchandise and EP's.

Most importantly is playing shows, release the EP then worry about all the marketing / T-Shirts / stickers later.

Get your name out there in the local scene, the word will spread, ppl will ask for an EP or download it LOL!

When ppl really like your music, they will want to buy merch (T-Shirt / Hoddie) whatever.

Spend your money on the band wisely, spend on guitar strings, guitars, amps, leads, pedals, equipment as they will all help you make / write music.

Music (band) will show who you are and at the end of the day, it makes you money.

Some bands 'sell out' and only do it for the money some stay true and keep the enthusiasm and make money.

quality cannon ball run 3

chasing a white contach at the start and then it pulls over to a carwash and comes out pink

some sort of stealth white cover on the car that washes off and then it goes onto the car carrying truck while being chased

u still havent sold that bucket nick... i'll give you 8 for it with everything on it.

could use an old shitter to bash around the paddocks at my uncles :rofl:

haha rather use it as my own paddock basher.... although pretty nice car for that lol

get coppers.... iridiums are for teh homo's

yeah bad, mitsubishi recommend iridiums for the evo

changed to coppers (9's) cause of the boost and it runs great

It is. And I'm sick today :)

Gave the Pulsar her first wash for the year. She desperately needs a polish but I don't feel up to it.

im still trying to get over a cold i had earlier in the week. everyone seems to be getting sick atm.

hopefully my maths and calculations works and it doesn't fall on itself.

    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
