    Hobbies Scale Model Kits

    in General Automotive Discussion

    Posted

    Fair enough. Just trying to help.

    Good choice on the Tamiya one. My gripes with the kerbside fujimi and aoshima ones aren't just about the lack of detail, its also in deformed proportions and such they have.

    I buy from HLJ or hobbyworld because I've had nothing but grief from shady Hong Kong ebay sellers.

    Yeah, $10 buy it now...$50 to ship it...In a brown paper bag with tape over the end, and labelled as a gift to avoid duties... Bought 3 kits from Honkers, 2 have been crushed, one irretrievably, got sodomised on shipping costs each time, took weeks to ship each time...Never, ever again. In contrast I've had 20+ kits ex-Japan with no problems.

    decided not to get that one but this one

    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=310088364014

    comes with race seats and xtra gauges and aluminium for the exhuast pipes

    its also from HK so we will see

    the porsche 911 gt2 that ive got came from HK and that was all fine - took 1 week to ship and shipping was $10, same as this one

    we will see.....otherwise it will be HLJ (do they take paypal?)

    my first thought was too far advanced timing

    but then you said that it was a warm start problem

    i think it might be a combination of what lunjiaow (vince) said and what ive said

    (sometimes a hard start is too advanced timing - a very easy start is timing too retarded)

    I think if you was getting car jacked, and you called the police, the police would come and yellow you and then have a go and say "thats what you get for driving nice cars....HOON"

    but I heard Batman is on holiday..

    nope - driving the Reventon

    thats why we cant see him......

    dale - i wouldn't mind if somebody jacked me - id just hand everything over then get payed out by insurance :P

    the thing about the individual throttles and the map sensor is that you need a vac line from after each throttle that then goes into one line.......

    thats my understanding anyway (at least to get a good stable reading - you could grab it off one, then use a multiplication factor or something, but it never would be as right as a line from after each throttle)

    if you havent yet, have a gander at this site

    right click My Computer

    select Manage (you get Computer Management)

    select Disk Management

    Plug in a USB key

    Also I notice you have a motherboard with a VIA chipset which could be the issue

    Download the 1.10 filter patch from here and see what that does

    http://www.usbman.com/Guides/VIA%20Tips%20and%20Tricks.htm

    that could also be the problem - if its an old computer (like say 04/05) VIA were having lotsa updates in regards to the usb drivers
