I don't go out drinking much, half of my mates will blow hundreds on booze and cabs and shit every weekend.. i just can't spare the cash, or the time when i'm written off for the entire day afterwards. i save a lot of the little money i do earn basically :devil:

oh and i won't get to 300rwkw (on 98 fuel at least).. so not in the club :P

cartier watch at oz shop: $9800

same cartier watch in the US + shipping to oz + taxes, duty etc: $7953

same cartier watch, secondhand from the US + certificates + shipping to oz + taxes, duty etc: $6100

I usually only go out once a week, and when I do I budget $50 max. Predrinks ftw.

And Kris isn't at 300kw either :P But I just say 250+ = 300 club :)

Seems pretty easy to hit around 320rwkw in an MR2. Everyone has been doing it lately.

how much will that cost to do? when you doing it to yours?

Well considering I'd need a forged rebuild too it's probably a bit out of my price range right now but if I waited a little while then I could afford it.

We'll see how it goes.. I might decide to record another album which means bye bye money :P

Who wears watches these days? Let alone paying 6g for one

if you can afford it then go for it. but im still rockin my fossil one that i got for my 19th. been through 4 leather straps and on the second battery. hasnt skipped a beat and i still get people randomly go "nice watch dude"

i'm all for being a brand slut... but 6k is excessive. You could get Armani et al for a fraction of that

lol @ armani watch. way to fag it up. If you're gonna wear an armani watch you might as well go ahead and buy a Swatch watch.

I've got a IWC I bought with my first company bonus (bought it off the CEO :P) and a Patek Phillipe my dad gave me. In the watch world Cartier is kinda mainstream, cos they started out as a jeweler and not a watchmaker. I don't wanna keep wearing a 10k IWC everyday, so the Cartier is to take over casual duties.

when you're working in teh corporate world a good watch says more about you than you can ever hope to get across in a conversation, and can be the difference between sealing a deal or a promotion or calling the shots in a negotiation and slumming it. Its an investment in your career and social life, and doesn't depreciate as much as a car, nor get you labeled as a hoon etc. Hell if you buy the right watch it'll even go up in value.

I don't need to buy it, but I'm gettin in while the exchange rate is good cos I stand to save about $4000. More if I can convince one of the publicists to pick it up and wear it on the way back, so I save on taxes.

i don't know shit about watches. i am sceptical of the extent of influence they have in 'teh corporate world' though.

i just look at the sun to determine the time, like a boss.

EDIT: If it's such a bargain, do it. Crafty work getting some watch mule to wear it on the way back haha

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
