So, I'm guessing you've never driven down the section of Parramatta Rd. that these guys are talking about ?!?!?!

I dunno?? I went a lot of places with the NSW postwhores when I was down but I have no idea what road I was on! Everywhere has the odd bad road but people were saying that NSW roads in general are crap, whereas compared to my experience in QLD they were good, far better maitained as a whole and with far more reasonable speed limits!

There is one really bad area on Wallgrove Road near the M4. I once went over it at 60 because there was some idiot right behind me and then my car kept saying my door was open and it wasn't. Now I usually take it at around 20k/h and if there is someone behind me too bad.

yeah roads suck

I took my dads kia rio out so I didn't have to use my GTR to drop the GF home, it had just finished raining, the street is so poorly lit I couldn't see shite, just as I hit it BANG!

popped the farken tyres on the front left. worse bit was, the tyres are only 3 days old! so I had to fork out 140 for a new one.

rang the council, they said take a pick of the tyre and rim etc...

go to take a pic of the rd and the farkers had filled it in the next morning!

    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
    • This is why you flex fuel it...
    • That is what I took from it too. Needed to go AWD S14 imo.
