People who can't merge properly, can't change lanes properly, can't negotiate roundabouts properly, can't indicate properly, people on the freeway who can't do the speed limit, and people who don't in

WGMG - Sony

I have a sega master system, that is eleventy bazillion years old, and still plays sonic the hedgehog perfectly, not to mention the built in game "alex the kid" :thumbsup:

but get sucked into the whole "media centre" type set up, and the supposedly top of the line 320G slimline POS3 lasts less than 5 months before it shits itself in a major way that requires it to be sent to the other side of the fkn planet so 6 year old chinese children in a sweat shop can resolder the circuit boards. Not to mention the fact that it has taken all my recorded TV and all my save game data out with it, and made ornaments out off all the assecories I have spent up big on.

Oh, did I mention it also burnt out the HDMI data board on my irreplaceable HD CRT television, that was only 3 years old, and Sony refuse to even look at?

WGMG... i challenge anyone to ring up a random car wrecking place n see if you can get anyone with some sort of emotion answer the phone. They'r bloody lifeless! Then they just hang up if they dont have your part. "nuh dont have that - click." every single person sounds the friggin same also! - Just once i wana ring up one time and get a lil old irish lady answer n be soo helpful n forgiving when she doesnt have the part then she'll tell God to bless me before saying "goodbye dear"

I guess what really grinds my gears is not finding my part haha

agreed but ill extend it. Being from a retail back ground i find that customer service in general has gone down the drain alot (sorry to say but i find WA more so than Vic too). I got better service via email from a sydney based company when i was chasing a part for my MTB, most bike stores here said 'no cant get that' and the store i got the bike from could only get a price once I had given them the part number from their own supplier!!! Then he wanted to charge me $28 inc postage when i could get it from the syd company for $9.

ha!there's a guy from the quokka.you feel as if you're offending him if you ask for a particular part.and his entusiasm to serve you extends to his haste in finding that part.above, your comments,very apt.

WRGMG is the Victoria Ave/Terrace Rd carpark.

The other week, the only parking spot left was under some stupid tree that grows stupid berries that some stupid birds eat and then shit all over your f**king car. Got to my car after work to find the bonnet, windscreen and roof covered in a solid 15mm layer of semi-digested berry bird shit.

Yesterday, had to drive in, parked in that carpark but NOT under one of those stupid trees only to come back to my car after work to find it COVERED in salt spray :down:

+1 for there being zero good parking spots in Perth at all. No matter where you park you always come back to find bird s**t, tree sap, berries/seed things, or to find you were parked near a jealous commodore driver who couldn't resist the frustration of owning a crap car, and runs a key down the side of yours.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
