Just been wandering around China, with a side trip from Hong Kong to Cebu in the Phillipines... no HBZ during most of the latter piece of that time and now I hit View New Topics. Lots to catch up on, even when I only cherry pick out what seem to be interesting topics. Still, Guangxi and Guangdong provinces were interesting, and Cebu was refreshingly hot, even if I did get a mild case of heat stroke Back to work this last monday, gotta do the work and gather the pay, next vacation has Germany as the target of the tourist travels.

Enough Cubic Dollars will solve most problems.

Is that one of the army power generator gas turbines? the ones that a couple of mini single-person helicopters use as a motor?

Building a reloading press? Sounds like a fun little project I'm a fan of the old SMLEs... Got a 1940 Ishapore, and a 1898 MLE what was armoury refurbed 1908 by the stamps. The MLE is metalwork only, need to hook up with some furniture for it.

You're in Aussie... slap in a 4.1 ford and turbo the sucker... Typhoon-Z...

Big enough turbo and I don't see any problems... It would have to be spot on tune or risk blowing bits up with that much mojo!

I have seen a STOCK, FACTORY FITTED LD28T in an early 80's MQ model Patrol... Nearly bought the sucker too, but ended with an '88 Isuzu Bighorn with the 4JB1-T 2.8L 4cyl instead, more room in the back and the tyres were newer. Never seen the laurel ones, but the Patrols exist, and in factory form. Enough already, if you don't believe, get a plane ticket and go look outside the US for them... they do say travel broadens the mind!

There are all stock factory LD28T's showing up on the odd occasion in NZ... Just because they don't happen in the US of A, doesn't mean they belong in fantasyland with the tooth fairy... Edit: Heh, Snap Tony, you beat me to it, must have posted while I was off shuffling my vacation pictures of Guilin and Yangshuo leaving the HBZ windows open and unattended... Hows Shangers? Pretty damp and miserable down here in Guangxi.

Laurel, some maritime versions, truck engines, Patrol 4x4... Theres a Diamler Soverign in Auckland with an LD28T conversion in place for $1200 NZD and a couple of boats with LD28Ts. Have a look on www.trademe.co.nz

Frankly I'd rather have a Hands-On engineer type maintining anything I am flying in, than a head-in-the-skies political science type.

They did look at it, and with Commodores selling in the Middle East as Chevy and Caddy in LHD, plus the LHD GTO and G8 tooling, there wouldn't be any problems with swapping drivers seats from the RHD aussie ersions...

Plenty of demand starting up in Chch soon, but not just yet as the insurance companies are waiting to be sure the shaking stops before they cover any rebuilds.

About the only current uses for backbone chassis today that I can think of is moffroad and military trucks... German Unimog and Russian Tatra 813 families.

Well, Aussies consistution does say that NZ can join anytime we like... We just don't like!

www.trademe.co.nz is the NZ one, no idea about aussie ones, but there is RB30 Skyline stuff on Trademe.

If you're in ChongQing, P.R.China, sometime, let me know and we can hoist a few beers. Those Womens Studies and Humanities actually qualify them to teach english to Chinese if they have the gumption to fly all the way over here and do something more than flip burgers. As far as my job here goes tho I'm safe, they'd rather sit on their asses moaning about how miserly the unembloyment benefit is, or flip burgers for peanuts, just because it's "HOME" than fly around the world and experience different cultures. No sense of adventure....

They probably soak in simple green or other cleanser rather than using acid/alkaline washes.

Miatas have Rover/Buick 3.5L V8's in them as a easy swap...

wikipedia says "The 6000 SUX itself was based on a 1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme"

and a non-smoker around that H2 output! Those electrolytic baths are low voltage H2O to 2(H2)+O2 hydrogen generators...

And here I am looking at 7Kw 150cc chinese single cylnders! escuse me while I go turn green... Still, at <US$300 for a 150cc bike, you wouldn't expect much.

Youtube is blocked in China, so i can't see the other videos posted
