ahh so it was you that had an argument with a roundabout? :laugh: lucky it was the work car then :laugh:

no it wasnt me. plus, with the work utes, i dont argue with things, they can just argue with my tray :nyaanyaa:

haha the tiida makes the 33 look small in the pic :nyaanyaa: shame the tiida's suck so bad. will have to upload all my video's of the shenanigans in the work tiida's, when they were straight off the truck :laugh: locked them in first (auto) crusing down brunswick st bout 50k's sitting on rev limiter with 17k's on the odo. i got it on video!

nah i would've gone for an impreza. bottom of the line is only bout 21k and tiida is about 20k

at least she got the hatch

It can stop raining now...

dont say that! i'm having fun in my work cars later. we have one rwd car and i'm gonna make the most of it. i never thought i'd say this, but i wish we had falcons and bommadores :nyaanyaa:

nope its a sedan and was 20K driveaway about 6 months ago (metallic paint and auto), i think they're doing them now for 17K with $1000 fuel

hmm these cars must get abused more by staff than the people that actually rent them :nyaanyaa:

:nyaanyaa: damn. oh well, at least they're comfy (sorta) and easy to drive, i guess :laugh:

Yeah, but I have to drive up the 'Sunny'coast, and my car is very tail happy. Which is all good and well on the track or whatever, but on the road its not.

thats where our giant "dirt" holding yard comes in handy. 250 square metres of open space :laugh: i think of it as my playground

:w00t: never! how could you acuse me of such a thing! would i ever do a thing like that :nyaanyaa: I dont abuse my work cars (or managers priviledges) i tenderly nurture them. it takes a fair bit of skill to blow the air box out while driving a brand new one, but you just have to know these things.

just sit there continuously kicking the accelerator making it change gears randomly. it would go from 4th to 2nd to 3rd to 2nd to 4th back to 2nd (all while crusing at 60) then bang! suddenly the car sounds like a v8. my colleague is pissing himself with laughter thinking i blew the exhaust out. we just parked it at the next office and left :nyaanyaa:

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
