  3. Hi Guys I'll be passing through Brisbane on the 1st & 2nd January 2011, en route to Summernats I know its not a Thursday, but I'd be keen to catch up for a bit of a cruise at some stage
  4. Welcome John, Get some pics up in Members Rides
  5. I've had a fairly large focus on fuels lately and it seems to me that issues come about not because of brands, but because of the servos they come from. I use V-Power when I'm at home as BP or Caltex don't have anything good here and up until now, it's been ok. Now that the ambient temps are coming up, the actual quality of the fuel is starting to shine through. Detonation has been hard to dodge, so I've had to resort to running a good octane booster in each tank to prevent this. Now, when I hit Townsville, I usually use the Vortex 98 from the same busy servo and it has been good. Last time however I went to a busy BP down the road a bit and started using Ultimate. It does run a little better, can't tell much difference power-wise, but it allows me to sink the boot without rattling itself to death. Talking to people in the know, the aromatics boil off premium fuels within 2 weeks, so find a busy servo and stick to it. Also, don't leave it sitting in your tank.

  10. Hi Byron. Welcome. nice choice of vehicle mate :D Whether you're aware or not, there is a trans cooler on these, it runs through the bottom tank of your radiator. Mine has been adequate so far, but I will be diverting lines and installing a large air to air heat exchanger in the near future. If you want to talk shift kits, send me a PM
  11. Have you thought about a Car Bra? I ended up getting one for the Hilux and once you sort out the fitting, its great. Not only do you have to worry about covering your air intakes, your paint cops an absolute pounding from hitting them at speed too. Some people aren't fond of the car bras for various reasons, one of them being "but it rubs on the paint" Which mind you, it is ON the paint, yes, but if the felt backing is clean and the car is spotless before it goes on, you will be fine. Great for protecting against stone chips as well. I will be using mine when I drive 3500km to Summernats in January.
  12. But he said "All feedback is appreciated" lol Fair enough.
  13. That looks awesome I also draw cool pictures on the wall with faeces. My therapist calls me an artist. That looks similar to something i drew a few weeks back.
  14. Ha ha...I had to do it. Maybe send it australia post and I'll have it back to you in a jiffy :D
  15. + 1 mate, great pics. I'd help out with the exhaust, but distance is an issue.
