Hi folks,

Long time no hear - right ??

What's been happening ?? Buster, have you cracked an 8 yet mate ?

Duncan, hows the Yellow dildo going ?

Maj - is your car still in one piece ?

I've been missing you all !

Well, about me -

I quit my job at Telstra and now (believe it or not) I am a Personal Trainer. I can hear you all laughing now - How did that fat bastard become a Personal Trainer ? Well, lose 15kgs for starters - Study hard, get qualified and buy a PT Franchise ! that's what I did !

And I am loving it - although the pay is about 4 times not as good as IT, the stress is less ! (Getting up at 4:00am in the morning is not that crash hot)

What else, Oh yeah - the girly has moved in - BOY what an eye opener that is. Shit man, I can't do a thing right, my whole place has been redecorated, the dog nearly got kicked out - Sheeeze - the the things you do !

Moving on to my car - Well, still have the Paj - it's a warrior ! haha BUT . I need something zippy. Thought about putting a V8 in the Paj, but it just wouldn't do !

So - since my budget is small - VERY VERY small - What do you reckon ?

I saw a Peugot 205GTI for $1900 the other day - looked OK - Then I got to thinking about options:

Corida

Starion

Mini

Dato 1600

Swift GTI

What do ya think ?? I want something zippy for streets.

This is how bad it is ...... I hired a Triton Ute the other day - and I though it as a rocket ship. I drove my sisters auto Mirage - and I though it was a go cart !

I NEED A FASTER CAR !!

Help me - I am going insane ! !!

Cheers

wow, talk about a new path... thats friggin awesome, you saw the opportunity for a change and it sounds like it was the best thing for you. i'm impressed and envious of your courage :)

hehe chicks, know what your saying ;)

couldnt be happier for ya man

:D <--- icon probably wont work but you get the idea

*EDIT* hah it worked ^^

Jimbo

go the Dato I say! :D

seriously though, easy to work on cheap insurance and proven easy upgades, cant go wrong... i want one!

and with the rest, life is full of sacrifices, but you should only make them if you really want what your after (the girl). So I say as long as your happy, then the redecorations and shit are nothing in comparison to happiness. And congrats on the cool life change.

meh....kaboom its now called d-manning.

Thank god you lost the girl not the dog :D And ti goes to show theres nothing like changing what you are doing for a breath of fresh air.

Anyway. Buy a 4 door gts4 i reckon

Good to see you're still alive - heaps of the original SDU/SAU crew are either missing or just don't post anywhere near as much as they used to...

Anyway, onto the car: WTF is a Corida? Is it as small as a Corolla but with the luxury (and RWD) of a Cressida? If it is, I say go for that and drop a 1JZ-GTE or 1UZ-FE into it for giggles...

Cheers,

Nick T.

What happened to B-Man....well....

First he tried to save Tibet and failed...

Then he tried to save Van Ngyuen and failed...

Then he thought...If i can't save the world...I may as well save myself.

And...so far...he's succeeded!!

Well done with your new career Brendan...Keep it up and best of luck!

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
