Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

If you break up keep it private don't go around emailing 50 other WAG's, editors and especially the Herald Sun editor...

Edited by blah_blah

Is her email on the list? Go ask her out :D

Tony you email WAG's.

Yeah man we go to brunch every Sunday morning

May possibly be partnering up to start a new Mechanical & Engine Building business in the future. Interesting times ahead

Discounts for you lot of course :thumbsup:

Don't do it! Automotive industry is pretty f***ed these days, the only people making good money out of it are the nichey businesses.

I'll be just managing the financial side of things and it will be just something done outside of my normal job. So not much risk for me at this stage.

It's all discussion stage at the moment, but being always interested in cars would be good if it goes ahead and is successful.

Tony, I will donate my car so you can use it as a demo car...

Cough rb26/30de stroker

Lol we'll see, needs turbo mang

Ah k. Well good luck with it and I hope it is successful, I just see a lot (and I mean a lot) of people wanting to get out of it these days, but they can't because they have too much invested or it's the only thing they know how to do. Customers are pulling in their belts with all the financial worry, putting off servicing and repairs to their cars etc. Most workshops are only breaking even at best (terrible cash flow, they take forever to pay their oil accounts with me), many have closed down and the only ones really getting ahead in terms of profit either A. have their own little niche market, B. are at the top of their game reputation wise, or C. they are ripping customers off. You'd want to be going into it because you love being around cars, but the irony is that, it can and does make you hate cars! Just food for thought.

    • So we have most the interior back in, and for the first time with one OEM speaker hooked up. The 31 is running, driving and now tunes!!! Hahaha yet another step for the sub that sat 10m under for two weeks!!! unbelievable really 👌 lots of love work and not giving up on her. Seen so many youngsters part way less, and in way better condition. I’m stubborn, thinking another problem is just a hurdle to overcome, One at a time. IMG_9277.mov
    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.        
    • Sharing results from recent Liberty Walk R35 GTR, since they are still considered as somesort of a V36 Skyline. We do them turbos too. This are high flowed SS-1 models with ball bearing conversion done.  Car have managed to pull 485awkws @ 20Psi so far pushing limitations of factory built engine. The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
