Lucky bastard, I hope someone dies and gives me money. I'll help you spend it, the car could be very fast soon.

See'ya:burnout:

Nice to see the family sentiment is alive and well. When you go to family do's are you sitting there thinking if he / she croaks here comes my new front mount etc:p

coarse not!! My love of imports started with an 88 black targa 300zx Turbs best condition in perth - still got it trying to sell the little bugger. My dad was pointing at the Z32 in the auto trader going "U like that?" and im like awww shore do and then he would go "you cant have it its too expensive!" then when he pointed out the Z31 (cos it looks pretty hot not like the others u see around" ) i thought he was pulling the same trick. It was traded in by some 60yr old guy who bought it out from hong kong and bought a black R33 GTST like what i now have concidently he was at the car yard when i picked up my GTST small world.

Geez , my first car was a Datto 1600.

Wish I still had it sometimes but that was a looooong time ago.

Cheers

btw has the Z31 got a heater ? Strange question I know but have seen a LOT of Hong Kong cars with only aircon , no heater?

yes it has a heater - haha and it stays on!! You fry in a black targa with a heater thats just wont quit!!

Well when i was 16 i was a lil junior working at skippers and i was walking down shepperton rd and thought - when i get my license im going to have a black car with attitude.

I have a dream :) haha

Despite my mum telling me from a young age that my first car wouldnt be a V6 or V8 i could put that outta my head but thank heavens for dad i had a V6 turbo and learnt to drive mainly on a HSV. With a family like mine u have to be into cars theres no way around it.

Jeez Ken, your really showing your age with the Datto 1600, did you get it when they first started producing them:lol:

We're lucky these days, most of us are able to buy cars that our parents would have dreamed about.

I have let my dad drive the car once, unfortunately he didn't die. I have to wait for both my parents to croak, and then find a way to kill my sister, not that any of this is premediated:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

is it like small mini?

hahah

Joe , wash your mouth out, comparing that pommy front wheel drive , engine the wrong way shoebox on wheels with the finest engine the right way , rear wheel drive rally car to come out of Japan in the 70's .

Cheers

( those were the days )

    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
    • But I think you missed mine.. there is also nothing about the 98 spec that supports your claim..  according to the fuel standards, it can be identical to 95, just very slightly higher octane number. But the ulp vs pulp fuel regulations go show 95 (or 98), is not just 91 with some additives. any claim of ‘refined by the better refineries’ or ‘higher quality fuel’ is just hearsay.  I have never seen anything to back up such claims other than ‘my mate used to work for a fuel station’, or ‘drove a fuel delivery truck’, or ‘my mechanic says’.. the actual energy densities do slightly vary between the 3 grades of fuel, but the difference is very minor. That said, I am very happy to be proven wrong if anyone has some hard evidence..
