I had fun Richard:cheers:

I am in (so long as the baby has arrived) and I am not fussed on the venue.

The Willoughby Hotel was a good feed, so may be someone can suggest a place like that with variety, it does not have to be a restaraunt.

Suggestions ?

Roy, if you are keen for some bbq or pub beers one night give me a shout mate. I live in chatswood. keen to check out your car and meet up.

carlo, CYO could be good. The Great Northern does it too.

Be good to get away from these mentally defective Victorian folk. Working in Chatswood so anywhere up that way will be good

Buddy... what are you saying. Mental... Yes - Defective... not in VIC

Are you based in NSW now for good or the next few months/years?

Hopefully I can make this... Last month was a shocker, so hopefully I won't be as busy this time 'round!

Oh, and when I go out to eat, I'd prefer someone else cook my food for me :cheers:

How about Bella Mia? this is a great restaurant in Roseville. it's italian food and very, very good. it's high end though so not pizza, spag bol etc. more like carpaccio di manzo, and scalopine di vitello con funghi (two of my favourites). mmm i can taste it now. or the northern is quite good, plus for andrew they will cook for you. people who are so inclined can cook their own.

    • 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:
