So the answer is yes lol I take it you never made the go-kart race then
-
I'm so ****** stupid.. I went down today, to realise at close to 8 that I must have had the wrong day lol
-
I'd hate to have her as the JP if you've been charged with Hoon Laws. Wouldn't stand a chance of winning, even if you had the best defence because she would have judged you already (not that they're meant to do that)

There are some Hoon Nazies on Milano Pde. They are wanting their road closed off to stop hoons. lol. Hoons = Cars with loud exhausts One of the ladies who lives on the street (who happens to be a Midland JP as well) told me how she got in her car to follow one particular resident in his Ford ute (personalised plates) around the suburb and waited for him to do something stupid. He just revved it and just accelerated fast, and so she dobbed him in to the Police for that. Journo at work told me how the same lady approached a neighbour about his car being loud as it wakes her up in the morning. Since that encounter, the guy now laps the block twice before heading off to work. hahahaha. The lady also told me how she liked it how she didn't hear me arrive at her house (had to take photos of her and her neighours), and I replied *laughing* 'That's because I didn't drive my hoon car today'. I don't think she was overly impressed. Then this P plater in his red Prelude with a black bonnet comes down the street, pottering along with his sports exhaust and she starts having a cry about him. I just tell her he's a ricer and not to worry about it. lol.

One of the guys at my work is May...

Intake gaskets. Been off for 3 weeks now, and have to order some metal ones as no point putting in crap parts for such a pain in the arse job (so I don't have to do it again in near future). Throttle bodies are a mess too. We'll see how it goes, but at this rate the GD16 is going to get a thrash about lol.

At this rate I'm driving the Pulsar now

NV (or similar) is so Sydney spec. Almost the must have plates if you want to be a poser. If your single, you'll stay single getting plates with the whole RU 16/18 , R U A Q T etc. All the girls that have mentioned to me about seeing cars with those plates think they are absolute dickheads. But if you're not single, I don't see a gf really approving you get plates like those either. Lose lose situation I guess. IMO get something personal that represents you so that you can also transfer onto your next car, however I can't talk with my current plates [GODZLR] but I'm thinking of putting them aside and getting [MATTYP] which I've always wanted to get. Can save GODZLR for when I get an R32...VW that is lol

My mate asked the same thing, and whether we're invited to the afters after lol

Or you can say 'yes, on the condition it is recorded' (not by you) and chances are they'll forget it as they'll have to take you and the car back to the station to record on their own equipment. A waste of time and effort for most cops. I've been on a few cop operations for work, and the only times they've searched cars is when alcohol is involved with young drivers (to find more booze) As for cops allowed to speed without sirens on. Well if they get flashed with no sirens on, they cop the fine so technically no they're not allowed to speed. As the cop that pulled me over last week said 'We're here to uphold the law' *cough* lol.

I would be interested with my 33R (that's if I still have it in Feb), though MNP doesn't really show well at night unless under good lighting conditions which Kings Park doesn't provide. I'll PM links to some pics.
-
SOR too.. in between Freo and Riverton
-
Nah, R has been out for 6 weeks...hope to get it back sometime during next week though. Just showed everyone at work..they thoroughly enjoyed it lol.

I've had a cop filled week!! Photographed the new East Metro superintendant this week (and last week), the new officer in charge of the Hoon Taskforce today (quote 'I don't drive, or ride a bike' - obviously he hasn't caught any hoons then I take it and explains his body size). Spoke to the officer who did me for Hoon Laws last week by chance (that was a gold moment I tell ya, was hoping to see him today) Here is the vid: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=kI5tE2cvGws *I guess I was heated lol..f**k EM*

I spat the dummy tonight... Heading home from a 'Bogan Bingo' night, cruising along Leach Hwy (70 zone) I pass a marked Police car which had slowed down for a turning vehice. Within 2 seconds, they pull up behind me with lights flashing. I instantly pull over thinking 'WTF for' and I thought maybe they saw the radar detector and wanted to give me a bit of flack. I didn't get out of my car (typically I do) and officer approaches my window accusing me of 'scootering past him' and I'm like 'Obviously, because you had slowed down' and he disagreed saying he was doing 70 and that I was doing more. We have a bit of an arguement, and he rants about doing some speed check and that he can give me a fine if I kept arguing. I wasn't going to let him walk over me, so I stood my ground so he takes off with my license and that's where I thought 'Game on' because I thought I'd be recieving a fine. Get my notepad, pen and happy snap (video function) out and start recording and the cop returns and straight away I demand for his name and badge number. However he didn't give it to me, and we start going off it again a bit. His partner comes up and joins in. I seriously just had enough of their bullshit, and end of the story they f**ked off. Just uploading video of it to You Tube now...link to come.

Online. Just Jap - ~$80-90 I think. Got a set for my R not long ago from them. Silicon items instead of crappy rubber. www.justjap.com

I got pulled over once in Padbury in my Pulsar (that had full blown show sq system) for doing 60 in a 50 zone late at night, and before I drove off the guy goes 'and btw, I don't want to hear you music before I see your car come down the street'. I was playing Michael Buble at the time rofl.

If you don't plan on upgrading turbos any time soon, take a look at this topic: (1/4 times for GTRs running stock turbos) http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Gt...ck+gtr+times+12 Plus there are a trillion topics on SAU about how to spend your money on a GTR.. but based on the above topic it seems that all you need is a good clutch, boost controller, zorst (which you have) and bingo you've got low 12s 1/4. As for power, see that topic as well.

FINALLY GOT THE ANSWER to what's wrong!! Crack in the inlet manifold gasket around #6, something that was first suggested to be the cause but proved not to be the case until now. How easy is it to change this? Is it best to leave it to the pros as they've told me (and I've been told) its a pretty labour intensive job.

Loud music comes under the noise pollution fine, which I think is 3 demerit poits and $150 ( though this is going back a number of years, so may have increased since) Years ago a mate of mine got for it with his loud stereo system. How loud is too loud? Well I think it would be common sense really. If your mirrors are shaking to a point where you can't even see what's in them, if you're neighbours fence is rattling from the bass, if the contents in your house are shaking when you rock up home...I think then its too loud for sure. Legal exhaust dB limit for 4cyl cars is something like 90db, so going on something like that I would assume a stereo that loud or less would be ok.
-
Well that's exactly what I thought too...so its just as confusing as it is for you as for the workshops looking at the car. The guy apparently is going to try his harness from his 32 GTR (modify it a bit too) and see if that changes anything.

Car has a high idle AND #6 isn't working. Don't ask me why, however if I was to assume I would think that since the car would be running lean its reving the engine higher to make up for the lost fuel :S I said the idle dropped when we disconnected #6 injector, not the coil pack. The idle didn't drop when we disconnected #6 coil. (see post 1 & 3) Had a call from Autobahn today and they told me they replaced the throttle thingy on the car (something that Cypher told me to replace), and they said they dropped the revs to 1k and the car seems to drive fine. I loved the fact he told me he didn't boot the car, but it 'launched really well' and seemed to come on boost pretty smooth lol. I did highlight the fact that even though he dropped the revs, that there could still be #6 not there as well so he's double checking that for me. Unfortuantely I won't know what the deal is till tomorrow afternoon.

I thought I was getting ripped off on my loan (12%)..well actually I am considering mates of mine are on 9-10% loans for the same amount... I think you need to keep shopping around, or at least change the length of the loan and then pay it outright when you have a chance.
-
Nah, starts up pretty easy which surprises me as I know you can't start your car up on rotational idle (not that I have it) CAS sounds like something to look into also. Probably only way to test is to replace it with one that is known to be working :S
