shane.. what happened to b00ntas car? :laugh:

how is he anyway? I haven't spoken to him since Xmas day :P

twas driving to work yesterdya morning, and she overheated, popped the bonnet to find radiator cap missing and steam farking everywhere. let it sit and cool down for a bit, went back at 3pm and put new coolant in her and did a compression test. compression was ~40, and found water around the spark plugs, so fairly certian its a blwon headgasket. towed her home and is now awaiting the replacement headgasket *sigh*

sayeth he who now has TWO undrivable lines in his yard :laugh:

yeah gnome no.1 was getting lonely... shane is sau's gnome breeder now :P

and furthermore, you pwned yourself big time as well as andy by leaving the rad cap off.

how good are the skyline heat gauges anyway? Mine never seems to move once the car heats up, however my oil temp gos up and down depending on how much im flogging her...

well the stock water temp gauge in bunta's 33 is farken hopeless! it went from being normal to 'fark me im out of water' in an instant.

mmmmm raw cookie batter *droolz*

have you seen that family guy episode with the cookie monster in it? how he is in rehab and they find cookies.. and another espisode later when louis is in the bathrooms of some club.. she opens the cubicle door and the cookie monster is hiding like a drug addict with a tube of cookie dough (ps. yes it's dough not batter) and putting some on a spoon and lighting it with a lighter to cook it?

haha.. oh that's so funny. guess you just have to watch it.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
