GenesisR32, yep we're in it and another R33 white will be joining me, that's 5 now :cheers:

p.s.

after the mtn run last thursday which i've done a few 360 :headspin: i realized i need new tyres :boobs: , does anyone know where's the best place to get em, like good deals?

springwood crazy clarks sounds good. Like what Nismogirl said, the car park is big and its possibly the best 'neutral' meeting place for both sides.

how about meeting at 8.30pm, have a little social gathering and chit-chat, put names to faces and then finally decide where we all wanna go from there?

each of us will have different suggestions and chances are that we will eventually be split into smaller groups for cruises, mountain runs, home, mistresses :), etc, etc, ... but at least you will still get to choose whatever activities you wanna participate in on your own free will. :)

i got fedrals on my car, they just wore out :) i had 235's though on 18". hard compund and I have to get tyres today as mine ****ed up >=[

I have Khumo 265 35 18"s on the rear, they were about $30 buck dearer than Nankangs.

I've had them since Nov 2002 and they still have heaps of tread!

Got them from Quick Fit at Capalaba.

I might be in this Thursday,.

Agreed, we need somewhere closer to Brisneyland.

As I said, we will only be at the meeting spot to have a chat, then we will probably head home. So don't get cranky at me for organising it and then leaving. Cause people do that quite often when i've said "we are only going to be out for an hour or so"

*scratches head* Yatala is NOT close to the northside. It would be like a 40 minutes drive, and a 10 minutes drive for yous.... I dont really call that fare :S

lol sorry erin, i was doing three things at once when i wrote that...

as said in above post all ideas to mix things up in the name of fairness and fun is great...

    • Yeah 98 for me, and 6.7/100 was my actual usage. On the downside the bloody thing still isn't running properly but at least they hybrid system is happy now. It starts but missfires like a bastard, and isn't throwing any code except "missfire". Thanks scoop. I did notice the AFMs are reading quite different at idle 1.33v and 1.67v so 25% variance (and have both changed and swapped them, the issue stays on the driver's side afm) so I'm looking for exhaust restriction (mouse nest?), compression issue or (hopefully not, no physical damage seen) wiring issue. Throttle might also be an issue but that is harder because you can't swap them side to side and not cheap to fire the parts cannon at.
    • I hope you're right and it somehow justifies it's existence!
    • actually, I've had one of those for a while and it gets more use than you'd think. Yes catching subframes, engines etc coming out under a car on a hoist, but also getting heavy stuff on shelving (to a certain height) without a forklift, holding the fuga's hybrid battery....like many good tools you'll find the jobs for it once you have it
    • Right, so God, it's been nearly 12 months since my last confession....  The main confession is I'm a horrible car modifier (amongst other things).  Obviously the pool was a massive distraction for the entirety of last year but really doesn't excuse me for doing nothing at all on the car for this year.  To be honest this year was a mental break to get over the extreme mental torment and pressure I put myself through putting the pool in!  It really was a slog.  The pool is still not completely finished but it might never be....  The kids love it and the wifey and I love it so mission success! I have spent a grand total of 30 minutes working on the car since when I commenced on the pool.  I just have not had a spare brain cell to be able to focus on it.  The thought of working on it just seems abhorrent to be honest.  My heart is just not into it.  Yet..... What I have done is decide that I'm a clown to not paint ALL of the underside of the car while I'm at it.  Originally I was stopping at the start of the rear subframe to then "get back to it later on once I'm ready".  Let's be honest, later on might never happen so may as well keep diving in!  I'm already balls deep so may as well go a bit deeper! So......  I've just purchased a hydraulic scissor lift table to be able to take the rear subframe out as a whole unit without having to dick around with jack stands rolling around on the ground.  Us 6' 8" blokes don't operate well at ground level! One of these- Anyway, will the investment in an expensive tool that I'll probably only ever use for one job motivate me to crack on?  Only time will tell..... Wish me luck!
    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
