That Ozzy Guy

Rick, a girl logs on and you go gaa gaa. Stop taking those blue pills.:cheeky: Nice avatar mullLOL

Amen to that. I call them Taxis Gav. I'm not complaining though. It's nice to know we got so many of them before the new import laws were put in place. I'd like to own a 32R in a few years time when their price drops considerably. I can imagine my kids buying these cars and calling them classics.:cheeky: I've never been one for drilling through the cones but if I ever come across a couple real cheap I might try it to see what it looks like. It'd have to be the clear ones though with the black surround. Oh, I just remembered that my cones are welded to the guards. Oh well:ermm:

Ditto! ROFL That is what I call priceless Steve.

Go to www.google.com Type in the following; 'weapons of mass destruction' Hit the ‘I’m feeling lucky’ button Read the error message that comes up.

That's the one. Leeroy got it as well. How about this one. 3M TA3

At least they are getting the engine right.:cheeky:

Actually Craig, I've found that hanging around all my mates who drive Skylines and other such turbo/new tech cars talk in KW while all my older cousins and friends in the V8 circle talk in HP.

Took me 10 minutes (damn 56k) while browsing other sites though but it was well worth it. Good looking site Gav. My criticism- Menu wasn't my cup of tea and the writing in the 'My 240Z' was a bit hard to read but love the growing effect. Anyhoo, any site with my car on it deserves at least a 9/10 :classic: Can't wait to see your second effort.

Sorry guys and sorry Philip. I couldn't help myself.:cheeky:

Don't forget you can supercharge the stroker so you will get instant boost if you don't like the turbo lag.

Might as well mate. Just let me know before you do ok. Cheers

Hey guys, say hi to Sven (read: Phillip) from Sweden. He was holidaying in Sydney and we met up. He's a really nice guy, inot photography and filming stuff and really into cars as well. He wants to buy a 240 but they are very very hard to find in Sweden and the import taxes are a bit high from the US so he's looking for something from within Europe. Can anyone help him? Anyhoo say hi to Sven everyone. His user name is 'mull' http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=4423 cheers

Anyone going to the next meet (09/07)? Brett, still hanging to see you on the strip. What do you say, you wanna go? I'm as nervous as hell about my first time and if I run a 15 I'll be exstatic. The car (read: driver) won't be ready by the next meet. I'm just worried that I'll do another uni joint, the diff or the tranny. Everyone keeps telling me the Supra 5 speeds aren't the best box for hard launches so I'm really hesitant.

Thanks Chris

Well, I didn't do it for the sake of it. The leads were shocking mate. The main coil one wasn't making contact so the sparks were jumping, some contact points were green, some white and one wasn't even connected at all. Good advice anyway so thanks.:classic:

That screw only tightens the left to right movement, not the up and down which is what I need. Thanks anyway.

My sunvisor is a bit loose and hitting a bump usually brings it down. Is there any way to tighten it a bit? I really don't want to use velcro strips on the roof lining to keep it up. Cheers

Hi guys. I'm looking for more pictures of this car. Can anyone help me? Cheers

Just for that are interested, I changed my leads with a set of Magnecor 10mm and the difference is unbelieavable! Starting the car the first time with the new set scared me. I pumped the gas with about the same pressure as I would normally and the engine came to life with a great big roar revving out like you wouldn't believe. My old leads were really really bad, some not even making full contact! The guys that fitted the leads were a great bunch and yes, I know it was expensive but well worth it and they even came with a 10 year warranty. Haven't tested the resistance yet but I'll do that this weekend and post up the results.

It wouldn't be Andrew Dice Clay would it? Swearing is a major part of his ruitines. Alfadog, you're right that swearing can often ruin a good joke but this is not one of those situations. The swearing adds to the feel of it, expressing this comedians anger and frustration and I bet he would raise his voice slightly with every swear word. But anyway...:cheeky:

It is the obvious but not the only solution. What I'm dreading is buying new leads and finding that I have the same problem. It could be an earthing problem in the end but I don't know how to prove or test it. So is this right: my leads have a lower than normal resistance therefore more volts are running through them which is causing the arcing? If not then: leads have small cuts which is causing the arcing and lowering the resistance. Is that possible, could cuts and poor dirty connectors lower the resistance of the whole lead? Thanks for your lengthy explanations guys. Much appreciated.

“The amount of current flowing in a circuit made up of pure resistances is directly proportional to the electromotive forces impressed on the circuit and inversely proportional to the total resistance of the circuit.” So which one of you electrikiti minded people can simply explain ohms law to a simpleton (read: me)? What is the relationship of the resistance to the circuit? Reason I ask is my leads. I noticed last Tuesday night that they were arching and after having a chat to a mechanic today he told me to check them with a multimeter. Wanting to learn something instead of open my wallet for others I went to buy one and borrowed a newish set of leads off my friend to use as a comparison. From what the mechanic told me the leads should have 3k to 4k ohms per 11". My coil lead is about 10" and measures in at 1.59k ohms. I checked other leads taking into consideration the length and they were all 1/5 to 1/8 of what they should be when compared to the control set of leads. Anyhoo, what do the ohms tell you and can someone possibly compare the ohms in another application so I can understand a bit more about leads? Thanks guys:classic:

Thanks Brett, I'll check them out this weekend.

ROFL I'm stunned and don't know what to say Rick. Sick sick man:finger:
