:blush: are you talking about Josh? he's like the ass Class Clown prolly very bright but loves being the center of attention....

who made you??? :wave: i'll come over there and :D them

Speaking of class clowns, back in one of my History class’s at high school, this poor kid was named Marco, my god it got to the stage were the teacher stopped calling Marco’s name on the roll as some jackass and his mates yelled POLO everytime.

It was funny, when your 17.

I’m not “dumb/stupid”, I just make poor decisions which lead to situations that could have been avoided.

Lee, dad had a royal whinge about the hight of my car. It was chunking up the driveway from where it laid frame trying to get up it, and was taking chunks out of the concrete slab going into the garage.

Plus, he decided to drive the Porsche up from NSW, so needs LXU55 as a daily until he goes down, meh I have no license I don’t have a huge say in the matter I guess.

What are they like to tune? Link to pretty pics?

Require specialist tuning for best results simply because noone is familiar with them. 2 tuners who are and swear by them are Mark Motson and gavin woods.

lol.... well, if thats the case, i'll just make like a tree and Leaf? :blush:

so are you still unemployed Josh?

Well no, however with no license how I can I go to work, let alone do my job. So technically I’m looking for work closer to home.

I can obviously go back to where I was at anytime.

I’m pretty much over real estate and developments though, I have been for a long time, but wanted to go back to confirm how much I wanted out of the industry. You can earn big money, but you have no life.

I want a fixed salary job that’s 9- 5 Monday to Friday. I’m too old to want to do a trade or something, plus the wage is a joke, and I can't live on something so small

losing your license sucks ass dude..

least its only a 3 month loss right?

getting caught without a license can be a 3000 dollar or 1 year in prison term...

owwies

dude you need to do more homework. Pick the right trade and you can earn money like you wouldnt believe atm. Trust me, I know. :blush:

I surrendered my license to avoid a set time ruled by the courts and the Police. I surrendered it before court, thus court never went ahead as I no longer held a license.

In theory I can get the minium suspension time, wether the paper work goes through is another thing as no one ended up going to court.

Even though I self surrendered and don’t hold a license, I have gotten out of what would have been a very long suspension/disqualification.

The fines are huge for driving without a license, I was caught when I was 18 or 19 in one of dad’s car’s, long story short he sued Queensland transport for my license back, I won, they dropped any fines and I agreed not to sue damage and loss’s which where pretty huge.

And they are definitely all wheel drive. :blush:

Only driven by two wheels...they just happen to attach to tracks ha ha

Excavators are also cool but I have never driven one of them...I used to play on our bulldozer on the farm all the time hence my love for them!

Oh yeah for sure, after the apprenticeship the money can and normal is huge. With the shortage within the skilled building trade anyone is going to make good money. Just look at what plumber’s and sparkies charge out an hour!!

I mean the money during the apprenticeship is crap, like first year is something like $220 gross?

Common sense says I live on the Sunshine Coast, should get trade qualified to fall back on, but such a small wage to start with would be a killer.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
