Road was slightly wet, I suspect thats why it was plodding along it...

The thing panicked, it went right, it would of got away into the other lane, then changed direction left... I stood on the breaks with everything I had, ABS kicked in but wasnt enough, wet roads + shitty break rotors...

Theres no sign of any impact on the car however and it ran off. My cars at stock height, it is within the relms of possibility that I went right over the top of it.

quit complaining, bang her once more, then fire her

no, i dont think i could bring my self to do it. plus she was really crap!

euck. I hate smokers. Espically having to kiss them, they allways taste of ash.

i tried everything to get rid of the bad taste. i even tried washing my mouth out with coke, that really burns!

oooooooooooooo so u ended up banging the horny office chick hey mikey :woot::yes:

fire the bitch, simple as that >_<

thinking bout it, but prob just move her out of my office. easier to explain to my boss. bit better than me trying to explain to him why i fired her.

Boss: "why did you fire her michael?"

Me: "she was crap in bed and things were awkward :wave:"

i'm sure that'll go down well >_<

hmm last i checked isn't a straight cut gears different to a dogbox??

yes and no. a dogbox uses all straight cut gears in a dog engagement (not too sure on specifics) but you can also use straight cut gears in a normal box for extra strength.

Straight cut gears means that the gears themselves are cut at 90 degrees, ie the teeth aren't cut on an angle. Dodgy ASCII pic here:

Angle cut gears are quieter and wear better too I believe, but won't cope with quite the same outright power as straight-cuts, particularly on very hard gearchanges (the whole gear face contacts at the same time).

A "dog box" refers to the gears having dog engagement, which generally means no synchros to wear out. Hardcore dog boxes are incredibly strong but without synchros you have to rev match, and unless you are flogging the car, they are a pain in the arse. Just to be pedantic, most manual gearboxes actually use dog engagement, but the synchros line the dog teeth up and make sure they're spinning at the same speed for a smooth gearchange. Calling something a "dog box" usually just means the synchros aren't there and that the dogs themselves are the only method of meshing the gears. FYI when you miss a gear and hear that horrible crunching sound, it's not the gear teeth grinding (they are in constant contact with each other), it's actually the dog teeth. If the synchros aren't doing their job or you've changed gears too quickly for them, the dogs will be spinning at different speeds and will grind.

Right, mechanics lesson over, time to go to work lol

Angle cut gears

they're called helical cut marc, becuase they actually curve round. you can also have a dog box with helical cut gears as well, just not as strong.

still costly though, but much easier to drive. a better option i heard about was cryo-treating your gearbox. they basically freeze the components in i think its liquid oxygen. this causes the molecules (getting into physics now) to move closer together and form tighter bonds, thus strengthening the parts. best part of all, is that it will cost you less than 1k to do your entire gearbox :wave: only catch is the place is down in melbourne :woot:

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
