Ok, this annoyed me, only found out last night.

Kids that rip off Badges.

I'm looking after my friends RX-8 and drive it only once a week to keep things going, so I take it to Badminton on Tuesdays at UC. Only noticed last night that someone scrapped off the Badge, scratching the paint and making a mess of the boot. They even scrapped off the 3 parts individually.

the 'RX' the little ' - ' and the '8' what the hell are you suppose to do with that? it's not like you can do much with a ' - ' they could of just bought a one piece one for $20 or so and it would of been new, now I feel really bad since it's a friends car and the boot is scratched.

I wish there was tougher punishment for stupid crimes like this, chop off a finger or something, it will give people a second thought before doing anything stupid.

end rant.

badgers are scum of the earth man :rofl: over the course of 2 weeks pretty much every badge was removed from my datsun... i didnt notice this due to it being under a cover and i never drive it, so they had to actually undo the car cover and get under it to badge it... goddam little fkrs...

i havent checked my car for debadgements... i should do so :P

My hate of taxi drivers has just increased after being run over by one this morning.

The little green man was flashing as I crossed the road and a cab came flying around a corner and clipped me - out of reflex I punched the window but did not break it :) .... bastard just drove off.

f**king real estate agents they are in my opinion now up there at the top of worst people in the world (with the exception of veilside and or a couple of others who had done the right thing in the past)

Found out today that the house that we were really keen on buying that was meant to go to auction next weekend was sold with out us getting a call. The even more annoying thing is that i have heard that by law they have to call all interested parties and notify them, they then have 24 hours to put in a better offer... well we didnt even get a f**king call and to cap off the frustration the property went for under what we were willing to pay for it... dslgsdlkgjklsed f**kING BS...

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god i don't think i have been this pissed off in a long time... i will be taking this further what a f**king dodgy real estate agent... Peter blackshaw... POOR EFFORT!!!

I hate how my wing (on my car), gets in the way of my rear view vision.

The rear wing is fine , but some things shit me with my car

-The rear window when cleaning the inside i can`t get the bit down the bottom

-The clock , I can only see the time when i go around corners

-Handbrake , i cant grab it when i am in reverse hand too fat

-Oil and fuel filters , what a stupid spot to put them

Agree with that. The oil filter i guess i can understand as unless they use a relocation kit there is not anything you can do about it... but the fuel filter damn with my fairly fat hands as well it makes it quite hard to get a good grip on it.

    • 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
