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...

    • In the US the EPA has been going after shops that sold aftermarket ECU tuning software that allowed you to disable CELs for things like EGR, DPF, SCR, or TWC failure. They also went after shops for selling emissions delete equipment. Their logic is that all cars built for street use have this emissions equipment and you cannot do an after the fact conversion to an off-road vehicle not intended for street use. Cobb, Hondata, and similar companies have basically all revised their tuning software such that going forward you cannot suppress DTCs for emissions-critical systems, nor can you toggle systems on and off in the tune like EGR. You also cannot adjust OBD emissions monitoring logic. You can still tune these cars. But you have to do things the hard way, basically. For example Subaru FA20DITs used to delete the TGV system to get spare analog IO for a flex fuel sensor. EGR also has to be dramatically pared back because without the TGVs the stock EGR map causes bad misfires. Now instead they have to implement the flex fuel system as a CAN bus sensor instead. IMO, this is heavy-handed but the EPA in the US gave so much leeway for so long and the aftermarket relentlessly abused that leeway to the point that they could actually see the effects of all these emissions-deleted work trucks on their air quality monitoring for cities that haven't met Clean Air Act standards. It's one thing to have a few people deleting emissions on their weekend car that spends 9 months out of the year on jack stands. It's another thing entirely for entire fleets of tradies driving around 8 hours a day on deleted diesels that emit 1000x the emissions per mile of a compliant vehicle.
    • Hmmm. that's a tough one. There's a lot of history bundled up in that lot. Perhaps instead we can create a new pinned thread, called "Legacy Pinned Threads" and provide links to the these ones that will be unpinned in there. And maybe put the names of the pinned threads that are linked inside in the tags so they can seen from the outside? Or something like? I mean, it's half a step back towards having a more complicated forum structure, without actually having it. But there's a reason that heirarchical architectures exist. They are logical, and if executed properly, make it easy to find something without having any upfront knowledge of where it would be , and without using a search function.
    • Can we unpin a bunch of dead / irrelevant threads from: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/forum/8-engines-forced-induction/ New players at home will scroll and think this forum is dead.
    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way
