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:

moarnininggg shane

i drove down coro drive about 4:30, didn't see you there

thats because i was on the highway, just before the roundabout at the bottom of cootha :wave:

oh noes, theres a black person in whoretown :yes:

ruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuun :woot:

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
