Hi guys, been so busy i forgot to post this up on SAU.

ANYWAY

January is a big month so starting on the 6th there is going to be a big weekend of things happening.

As some of you may have heard on NS.com a young fella commited suicide earlier in the year (South Australian). His parents Mark and Julie, thought it would be better to get youth suicide awareness out there rather sitting at home grieving.

They are going to be here for a week to promote the awareness of youth suicide and 'rattle the tin' for a local charity, which they chose to be Parakaleo www.parakaleo.org.au

since ben owned an S13 and was a drifter it was decided in his honour to do it in an import style weekend. They have since bought and modded an R32.

6th Friday- Devonport Mall: information session about youth suicide awareness/prevention, accepting donations + a few cars on display (no doubt some of you will have seen RIP Dr1ft_Pig_13 stickers on a few imports).

7th Saturday- meet at High Tide (cove) 10/10:30 for registration of the cruise, $10 donation gets you a cruise pack and a ribbon signifying your on the cruise. Cruise departing 11:30/12pm (being flagged off by a council member).

Travel to sheffield where there will be a first meeting point, a BBQ and some fund raising opportunities (Parakaleo is located nearby).

The cruise will then travel to ETC in Elizabeth town for a regroup point and opportunity to use bathroom facilitys etc, at the current stage there is no further re-group point between here and launceston but that may change (will be in the cruise pack no doubt).

Finish the day meeting in Bathurst St Car Park estimated time of 5pm.

7:30pm there will be a video/information night at Speedy Tyres, Bathurst St Launceston.

8th Sunday- Meet 9/9:30 Bathurst St Car Park, to leave by 10/10:30, only stops on the way are Cambell town. Next meet up point will be at Rosny College, HOBART around 12:30pm.

The cruise will then make its way down eagle hawkneck to Port Arthur (exact route i am not sure, i have left this in the capable hands of locals EG Toffy).

9th Monday- There will be something pending approval of hobart council in the mall or on the corner where CBA is similar to what was in Devonport on the friday.

10th Tuesday- Same but in Launceston, and this has been confirmed already.

alot of preparation has gone towards this so i hope all can attend, a much larger official flyer will go up in the next few days.

This is a chance to have Import cars seen in 'a good light' so do your bit for charity, promote youth suicide prevention/awareness, and been seen as a caring youth and import enthusaist.

if you have any questions or want more info or genuinely want to help out

email me: [email protected]

thanks for your time

regards,

Tim,

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Well, in 2007 he must have been charging about $1800 an hour. He only looked at the car for 5 minutes. And another 4 to write the report wrong, and another minute to correct it. Mind you, this was for a car that was: Stock engine, fmic (hole in drivers guard), all alloy intake and custom air box, 3 inch turbo back exhaust, lowered, and a set of 17" Advans (255/40/17 rear and 235/45/17 front). It was nothing crazy. The blue slipper wanted the "hole in the guard" engineered. But that was because he got the shits that I wouldn't "relocate the battery from the boot, back to the factory position in the engine bay"... In an R33 GTST...     Also for emissions, E85, and don't go wild on timing. It's amazing how the closer you get ignition timing towards max torque, the last couple of degrees really throw NOx counts right up. And for the huge increase in emissions, it's only a small increase in torque.

      He'll be looking down and swearing about "the damn apprentice" for trying to convince Duncan to use percussive maintenance... 😛

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
