Joe your lucky you never lowered your car - because your place is absolute murder for lowered cars took me about 15mins of very slow driving to get down that ramp of yours in the Line!!

But i used to work in this place that had a highrise underground carpark and i was only privledged to bring my car in if i had to work til 6pm. I hated that job - but anyway on the way down i used to set off every alarm i could in the ZX (plus ive left black marks in that carpark for them to remember me by) hin the hope that their batteries would be flat when they left - did i mention i hated that job haha!!

Dont take the line into highrise carparks often as i find that the ramps constantly scrape my kit because its lowered aghh! I did once when i had job interview - and never again because every ramp was *sccccraapeee*

yeah I know my place is very very bad for any lowered car!

even my mate's VX SS commie touches his exhaust on that ramp... :D

hahaha speaking of highrise building car parks... under cover car park at bank west is shocking when I drive my car the exhaust is sooo loud due to echo factor sets off the all the alarm of BMW, Firrararary, Jags.... you name it I set off their alram... heheh.

Aussie delivered - yes it is which gave me a shock when i found out because it had to have gone up to hong kong first then come back down here in 95. Been with Ash Farlay for all of its lifespan til it came into my evil hands in 2000.

In really good nick.

didnt happen to go up my street yesterday arvo did ya? haha mum was painting the front lounge and i get "Lauren, Lauren come here quick before ya miss it" but i was too late - apparently a white skyline was doing a slow cruise of the our street and since skylines are a extremely rare sight around here - she reckons it was somebody looking for my car haha.

my cars around - its usually parked down the side - or quite often im out. I dont exactly spend much time "cruising" around high wycombe haha you'll often see the car parked outside the liqour shop picking up something haha

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
