Anyone know of a reasonably priced cnc machinist in Melbourne, not too far from the North?
Piece is about 400x300x70 that needs to be made up, but they will need to copy off the current manifold I already have

I thought you'd love triple J, what with drinking coffee out of jars and all


Insinuating I'm a hipster by suggesting I listen to a station with a most popular 100 countdown...

Didn't really think that one through did you...

But isn't that what a hipster would do, go against what is commonly thought amongst the masses? Individualism starts with one person Hamish

Rear engine buggie. The bonnet is like a coffin? interior carpet is persian rug. Made by the same company that produces the limo based on Cedric/Gloria... complete with the most adorable DIY limo fitout. including boot-mounted airconditioning.

Installed a firewall behind a 400/400mbps internet connection today.. was froffing 

Wonder if they'd notice me installing a PLEX server for streaming media to all my family and friends :D 

gloria got put on the dyno today. whopping 147kw lol. running super rich with the foot down (reason why it was on a dyno in the first place). gains 20kw across the rev range when leaning it out a bit, but those are only temp tunes with the scan tool plugged in. It reverts back once disconnected, so now people are working on trying to figure out how to make it permanent.

Apparently normal for jap cars to run rich? but this one is worse because (i/we suspect) custom dump pipe moved the O2 sensor across to get easier access to dump pipe bolts.
so thats 11psi oem. a few more psi, cut the fuel back a bit, see if timing can be adjusted... 170rwkw wouldnt be too shabby.

We have a commercial link that we pipe out of a data centre with a /24 of public ips. you can have almost any provider you want, you get bgp support for the public ip advertising and you can have how ever much speed you are willing to pay for (~$3-6 per mbit) depending on who is providing it.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
