owned the car just over 1 month,

cruise to my cousins for the tike's birthday with the misses,

pull up after basicaly not exceeding 3k rpm's, no harsh bashing, just simple cruise to penrith from blacktown.

basically pulled up and the idle is jumping from 650-1100 rpms, all over hte place, noticed casue had a cig durring customary wait period ( i just like to be careful) point being get back in, warm her up, its 1am, starts again all ovr hte place.

decide to get home, stalls getting out of hte drive, copping shit for my "new car" dieing on its ass.

then it stops and idles @ 900, stable, sit @ major intersection and after a while it starts again, so little down the road an pull into bp, check around with her idling, look for something new, leaks etc, something noticeable, hear a slight ticking inhte exhuast when i get down to check underneath for fluids or something out of sorts, (something telling me to stop go no furhter essentially), shut down, check for water froth, none, has plenty oil, noticed its running real hot, like over heating...like turbo is stil way hot like i was peaking it out.

decide must get home, babying it the entire way, no positive boost, get hoime, idle her for almost 5 minutes, shut down and sounds like i ran her hard and turned her of without idle, heat contracting sounds.

but no funky idle this time...

exhuast gasket ?

avc in the plenum neeed cleaning ?

underfueling causeing to much heat from my almost stock car?

assume all stock except the deep purple top injectors (stock fuel rail so id say side feed's), unknown size / type suspitions abound and the 2.5" cat back and unknown cat, stock bov, stock location etc

think my importer / dealer will honour the 3 month warranty for this ? planning on making that call anyway, damed thing was only there literally today to get an unrelated minor fualt fixed ( windscreen squirter pump )

i know its not his fualt..... but point is it was there today and i doubt he will accept this and fix it, f**king bullshit i say. guess il find out

ranting eh

f**k sake... love the damed thing,

jumped in today, warmed her up well, didnt boost al the way to the petrol station, hagd put in optimax to try it out for hte first time last fill, nothing al the way to the bpo servo and filled, took her to 4k rpm nothing happened, idled fine the entire way, cleaned my afm anyway though

prolly right

cleaned the damed car then it rained olike crazy today, nice an sunny, half way through the bloody wax and it starts piossing down, out comes the car cvover but to latre she's covered in twater... ... and now the stez wont outpu any sound, turns on great but no sound.. f**kING CARS !!!

eh, il check teh exhuast manifold studs tomoz and read the diy aac clean, see whats involve4d

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
