    [NSW] SYDNEY MONTHLY MEET

    in Upcoming Club Meets & Events

    Posted

    Did you mean the fully sick FTO ??

    I should take a video camera and put it in youtube and send to police or Current Affairs

    If you wanna show off the speed, do it in dragway or a race circuit, not on the street, cannot tolerate all the hoons out there

    While that may seem like a good idea, do you really want the Police turning up at EOMM checking everyones cars?

    I vote no.. I really hope I can make the next meet.. still waiting on coilovers to arrive.

    Hilux 2.8 Turbo conversion

    in Hilux Club

    Posted

    Hey iv converted my 2.8 diesal hilux too a turbo diesal with the ct20 turbo but once i had done the conversion it seems too burn oil. I was pretty sure it was the turbo because the engines been built not too long ago and it didnt smoke before the turbo was fitted. So i bought a rebuild kit for the turbo stript it down put new bearings and seals thru it and it still seems too be smoking. Iv heard if the turbo return line is too restrictive it could cause the oil too bypass the seals cause its not escaping quick enough. Is this true beacause if not its got too be the turbo again doesnt it.

    Cheers Michael

    Sorry mate. I dont know the answer to this.. But I would like to hear more about the conversion, and the cost.. if you dont mind that is. It would make a good thread IMO. Im considering doing my 3L also.

    Cheers

    Advice on fuel line

    in General Toyota & Other Car Discussions

    Posted

    I'm putting in a new fuel pump on the celica, undoing the connector between the tanks line and the tubing to the front end is a no go.. it's so tight it wont budge.. and sure enough the spanner just rounded the nut.

    My question is this... if I cut the steel line to get it out and the insert a small section of fuel line to connect it again with clamps, will it hold the pressure without leaking? I realise the line is under pressure, but is it enough to burst a couple of mm's joined with fuel hose? photo bucket not working.

    Thanks guys.

    Will petrol ever become redundant?

    Real discoveries, real advancements are made in labs, by educated but outside-the-box thinkers, and are published in respected scientific journals and media releases, not by Joe Bloggs in his backyard (and especially not from something that was probably made from plans on the internet) and posted on YouTube.

    !! Now that's just plain nasty :D.. I'll bet there are hundreds of devices we use everyday made by Joe Bloggs in his backyard..

    All credit cannot go to the "scientific community"and "highly educated" douche bags with their sense of superiority for every breakthrough since man invented the wheel... :rolleyes:

    And if you believe the claims in the Youtube clip (I haven't had a chance to watch it fully, but it looks like every other free energy pseudoscience), then you're a muppet.

    Please watch the video before you make judgement.. I see youre from the school of thought that "if my education system told me something isnt possible then it isnt, and your an idiot if you think otherwise" there would be no innovation in the world or new products if everyone followed that dogma.. remember.. the earth isnt flat and it isnt the centre of the universe... and did we not recently find out that the speed of light is not the fastest? Our scientific "FACTS" are being challenged all the time.

    I guess you think Tesla was a crackpot too...

    Import Advice, Customs & Quarantine

    in Club Lounge

    Posted

    Hello Ladies and Gentlemans..

    I worked for International Freight Forwarding Companies for 10 years.. I have an Advanced Certificate in Customs, a pre-cursor to becoming a Customs Broker, I was also Australian Quarantine Accredited. I've been out of the business for a few years now, but after 10 years in the field I still know my stuff.

    If you are importing car parts or anything else for that matter, I'd be more than happy to give some free advice on what documents you need and what taxes are payable if the value of goods plus freight is more than $1000 Aud. I can also help with any Quarantine issues you might face when importing car parts or other stuff.. ie. if importing tyres, new or used, a Mosquito Larvae Declaration is required from the supplier to help them breeze through Customs and Quarantine as quickly as possible. Otherwise they will be held by Australian Quarantine pending inspection to verify no wrigglers are sitting in the tyres. This will cost you an inspection fee and lost time.

    Cheers

    Dan

    It will depend on the oil companies to whether they buy the patent(s) for any new age power. Simple example was the Ralph Sarich orbital engine one moving part), that did not go into commercial build as the patent was bought and the product binned, destroyed, forgotten.

    It never went into production because a proper production model was never produced, the prototype never demonstrably ran under load, and had major technical issues/downfalls. Also, BHP poured money into the engine long before it ever got close to being a production model - initial invention and investment was in the early '70s, the technology failed to deliver and by the 90's BHP had actually DIVESTED themselves - ie they got OUT of the investment. They didn't buy the patent and squash it, they wiped their hands of it, because they knew there was no money in it.

    So many conspiracy theorists/paranoid people out there that think every failed invention has been squashed by either "the man" or "big oil".

    Excuse me? Are you saying "big oil" would not quash anything that infringed on their massive profits? I'm sorry man... youre living in fairy tale land if you think they wouldnt.. Every business no matter what line of product, will try and outdo the competition.. Big Oil is no different.. in fact they are much, much worse.

    There is a way to run a car on Hydrogen, converted from Water. Check out this Youtube Video before you say BS.. watch ALL of it.
