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 know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎  
    • Good work, and thanks for posting up your solution for future people!
    • Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned. 
    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
