  1. Hi guys, I have two consult cables up for grabs. One on the left was purchased from ECUtalk about a year ago. Originally paid $70, selling for $30 http://www.ecutalk.com/interface.aspx One on the right was purchased from ebay, never used as it didn't suit the microcontroller i was working with Selling for $15, paid $35 new. PM me if you are interested or send a text to 0401 784 025. Located in Rowville, VIC. Thanks.
  2. Sure do! Since child hood. Help her out guys!!
  3. Haha, how do you know Lisa? Edit: Sorry stupidly missed 'friend at work'
  4. Hey guys, Is anyone looking to get rid of a stock r34 gtt exhaust preferably in the south east suburbs? Only require from the cat back. Please PM me with location and how much you want for it. Thanks, Luke
  5. The problem you describe sounds 100% like afm. I can replicate this problem by disconnecting the afm. I highly doubt it's the o2 sensor, you'll find your car should run fine without it albeit higher fuel consumption. You'll eventually get the check engine light 2 to 10 minutes after the car is started when the o2 is disconnected.
  6. Lol i'm actually doing a similar uni project using the standard nissan console port, lots of programming, a few arduino microcontrollers and some cheap radios (Wireless telemetry basically). Fun actually doing a project i have interest in. If a powerfc is anything like the nissan console port, it will not talk to you unless you send the init sequence, followed by the relevant command, ecu register, etc. Even then, the data it spits out needs to be converted. Unless you have some sort of reference, it may be extremely difficult to achieve this. In my example, i used the following resource for the nissan console port: http://www.plmsdevelopments.com/images_ms/...table_Ver_2.pdf
  7. Parked next to a white gt near glenferrie oval yesterday. Came back to my car to see the spot next to the gt empty. Needless to say i shat a substantial brick before realising the gt moved and my car was still where i left it!
  8. I was worried i would damage them, you need to make sure the ratchet head is firmly inserted otherwise you risk rounding it. If you've rounded them you might be in trouble, i couldn''t believe how tight they were. There was also lock tight applied to both bolts which made it even tougher
  9. Just did mine. The bolts are absolute C U Next Tuesdays to get off. I used a 1/2" Ratchet and a small pipe as a breaker bar, had to push myself on the ramps to get enough force to get them turning. Another tip, head to supercheap and buy a $6.99 syphon, it's the best $7 you'll spend and made the process of filling up the gearbox a painless, fast task. I used VMX80 and the difference is unbelievable, it feels like a new box. Highly recommended to anyone, just ensure you have the right tools because you'll only end up frustrated
  10. I remember having my auto license and learning to drive a manual excel. I was pretty hack (Just grasping how to drive a manual car on the road) and managed to go through a booze bus nicely. All i could think of when i blew into the breatho was: don't f*** this up, take off smoothly. I agree with peter89, pressure works well!
  11. Yep it is pretty bad, very suprised they haven't done anything about it.
  12. Ahhh yes the humble neo, i'm happy with my economy, i get around 500 too
  13. That's exactly what i did mate. You lose your auto restriction once you graduate to full's. Wonder how long it will take the government to wise up to this and put a stop to it?
  14. Sounds like a typical bazza in a commodore
  15. Sucks to hear mate. It takes 10 minutes to sign up for 3rd party with just cars online, please do it!
  16. The guy that told you about the connection being loose is probably right. My old silvia experienced a similar problem, was a simple case of removing the door trim, peeling back the plastic shield and adjusting the metal connector which interfaces the solenoid to the locking rod. Usually the 2 screws become loose allowing the solenoid rod to shift jamming it. Piece of piss mate
  17. Highly disagree, victorian licensing system: "Jump in the car, drive around, do a reverse parallel park" Yay you got your license. High speed driving is not tested, thus this assumption is invalid. I know plenty of people who have a license and have trouble/get worried doing 100km/h let alone 140km/h. Things happen much faster at this speed, you need to be more alert of your surroundings. The risk definately increases.
  18. I'm all for a 140km/h speed limit, i know i'm capable of driving safely at those speeds, however......... A fair number of people are simply not capable. I do not want incapable people doing these speeds when i'm on the road. You are in fairy land if you think the vic government will remotely consider this, it's analogous to a catholic church providing soft core porn during mass. Upping the speed limit to 140 will definately increase the road toll due to inexperienced drivers causing high speed accidents - bad Upping the speed limit to 140 will hamper maximum revenue - bad Upping the speed limit to 140 goes against the governments justification of speeding fines - bad Instead of proposing something this silly, what needs to be done is better driver education. Have a look at many parts of Europe for example.
  19. Lol, would have been perfect if you were close by. Still looking guys, if you have one let me know. My poor 34 looks so unhappy with a crumpled bonnet
  20. Not another one of these threads! Please do a search first. The answer is no!!! How hard is it to find the answer before buying an illegal car? If you are pulled over expect to be fined and lose points for driving high powered vehicle, cops also pick on p platers in high po cars so prepare to be defected PS: Sorry to sound harsh, it's just that every week someone asks the same question. I don't want to give you the wrong first impression of SAU
  21. Lol typical VN/VP P plate driver, worst kind of combination on the road. I'm yet to see a p plater drive a VN at the speed limit and/or drive sensibly. Thankfully the hoon laws are assisting in pulling these death traps off the road and punishing the drivers. One aspect of the law that is making a difference
  22. I agree mate. It's a simple case of the government wanting to 'look good' by appearing to 'solve' the problem. -Banning p platers from driving full stop at night is just silly -Speed limiters will be expensive to implement and fairly easy to bypass -The rules are already fairly tough, repeat offenders under the hoon law are greatly minimized Yes we need driver training programs. I think we also need some high impact (pardon the pun) ads with emotion to emphasise the dangers of silly driving. Expose high speed offenders to high speed fatal accidents to show them what can happen. No matter how much you do, ultimately the stupidity of some younger drivers will continue to exist and there is nothing you can do to make them change their attitude
  23. No doubt your lack of round tail lights helped you out :-p
