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:

    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
