I am truly sorry it came to this Erin. I know how you feel and now I am at an age where I can afford these types of cars, I won't allow anything to come between my goal to own a car I am happy to drive to work in but can also be taken out and spanked every so often. You are more than welcome to get a fix now and then with my car if you wish.

shotgun wedding car at your wedding. speaking of which i should come get my picture off you.

Heh.. I'll be holding you to that! 07/07/07... I'll start booking them now :worship:

And yes, it's sitting here and I thought that the other night, I should go meet you somewhere to drop it off.

Hey Erin... So when is Andrew going to get rid of the VL?

In the next few weeks the VL will hopefully be gone. Theres a bid on it at the moment so I guess it sells when the auction finishes.

Thanks Dave :D Out of all the people on SAu, I'm soo glad we met Andrea and yourself :D

Sinbad has bought me many friends and foes over the years, but to those friends of ours, thank you for being you.

...Say goodbye and I'll miss you, tomorrow I'll kiss you, remember to always be true.

And while I', away I'll write home everyday.....

</singing>

And so ends one chapter, and so begins another.

Like compressed air through an intercooler, so are the days of our lives.

Goodluck Erin!

bahaha.. GOLD cyrus.. gold..

Good to see you got a sale Erin. Hope things go well for the wedding and whatever else in the future. Not a bad time to be selling out of the performance scene to be honest..

Heh.. I'll be holding you to that! 07/07/07... I'll start booking them now :mad:

Good stuff with the VL hope it goes. Shame as well not instead of.

And Im glad I met you off boostcruising not here, otherwise Id feel very hurt by that comment :P

I hope your not going to dissappear on us now. And farewell cruise for the skyline???

Going from a HKS 2510 300rwkw 4WD GT-R to the 1.6L laser was quite the jump and can be pretty frustrating at times.

haha, lets race gaz

but seriously, yer, i feel your pain erin

we've just bought a house and atm the skyline stays (its our only car), but im nervous as heck especially with petrol prices on the rise and my horrible fuel economy

our baby is gonna want to not break down and be a very good car to hang around

luckily i got the wedding out the way earlier, so its just the house to worry about :P

im terrified that i wont be able to get what my baby is worth if i have to sell

"whether I really did need 200rwkw to drive to work and back."

You're right Erin...you need more powah!!!!

Well sad to see it go, but good luck with the house etc etc, I've heard that you get more plaesure out of owning one?!?! :D

Hahah..

Looks like we might have found a car, we are off to look at it tonight.

Sometime today I gotta also get to the bank and deposit the cheque :S Sometimes I hate being a fulltime employee..

Hang on, what am I talking about, I hate being a fulltime employee all the time.

Thanks Patrick :)

We purchased our new car tonight, pick it up on Friday.

It's not much, but it's what we wanted.. Mitsubishi Mirage 2001 model with 70,000kms.. all the mod cons.. blue. Will have very dark tinted windows and new mags soon enough :D

Cheap small car is the way to go!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
