Maybe it was just the flamage from a Skyline exhaust they saw but never having seen a car that far north before they thought it was a dragon   :wassup:

ROFL!!! I think you just solved the phenomenon Adam! Those South QLD'ers are gonna be dissapointed when they find out there's no dragons in the Far North!

Yeah, its shit isn't it. You could always do what I did, I flogged off nearly everything I owned on ebay.. suckers paid 3/4 to 4/5 what I paid for them. Bed, washing machine, fridge, tv, etc..

You lose maybe a $200 on each item... but you can move to QLD and buy it all back again brand new :rofl:. Cost me about $1k that way :D

What I had left at the time all fit in the R33 :D

I always though the other idea.. was to rent a budget truck.. for like a few days.. Open up the dash, disconnect the odometer - drive it to wherever with all your stuff, and then plug the odometer back in. Of course this may be highly dodgy / illegal / fraudulant, if you crashed you're in BIG trouble..lol :D

Yeah, I'm thinking about having a garage sale before I go, see how much stuff I can get rid of. Can't fit too much in the 33 LOL! Did you drive up? I'm gonna drive up, should be a pretty cool drive, not looking forward to the stone chips and bugs though!!! I'll give your last suggestion a miss mate! :rofl:

You could also try a few of the forsale forums.. trading post, etc as well. Didn't take me too long actually.

It's surprising what you can fit in a R33.. you can stack up a heap of boxes across the back seat..

You do get a nice collage of bug splatters.. took me months to get the damn bugs outta the front bar and cooler! Stone chips aren't too bad as long as you don't sit up the ass of cars should be right.

just remember don't park at the side of the road and leave the door open :D or this may be the result:

OH SHIT!!! Bad luck with door!!! That's bad, I won't be doing that....

The bugs don't look too bad. Yeah I've been told not to drive at dusk, coz the locusts and stuff come out like mad and yeah trucks are great for sand blasting your front end.

should be right for locus' .. i drove back around xmas time to melb and back, and there were stuff all, except just over the VIC border. I drove just after sunset too... although you do get more bugs at night because they love splattering themselves on the headlights .. the kangas are the things you need to watch out for at dawn/dusk.

locus aren't as bad as they make out, well anyhow, not that I saw..

Hey Lukas - when are you actually leaving???

Hey Bec, I should be outta here within the next 2 weeks. I am heading up there tomorrow for a couple of days, just to sort some stuff out, then back here to sort some more stuff out.... aaaagh, it is a very stressful time at the moment, I just want to go.

"when are you actually leaving???" ... uuummm are you hanging for me to leave or something? hehehe ... I know you'll miss me driving past your house 10 times a day hey?! :D

    • Unless there's something particular about the Greddy manifold's injector holes that I'm not aware of, those injetcors look to be totally wrong. They would absolutely want to be spaced up to get those long snouts out of the runner. Which, I think, is not usually the way that that problem is solved. I think the problem is solved by using the correct injectors, which would be much more like what Andrew posted.
    • Thanks for the reply, So i've continued playing around, and fitted the injector adaptors onto the injector, the fuel rail is not able to be mounted now as the injectors sit a bit further out. I suppose the point of the adaptors is so that the injector nozzle isn't so deep into the intake? I suppose 1mm extra on the o-ring would do it but still can't mount the rail onto the intake haha. Waiting on a reply from Aeroflow I'm sure there's something stupid that I'm missing...
    • EMJ33 or EJM33 - west end
    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
