A lot of you guys & girls may not know this [or even read this] but I just wanted to post a message about my late Father [r.i.p.] who passed away on this day 3 years ago [5/4/2000].

I mainly wanted to say that I am thinking of him.

His death was a direct result of a car crash, which happened near Laverton North area. He loved cars and driving.

He always knew I wanted a skyline too - its just unfortunate that I never got to take him for a cruise in it or let him have a drive. [i only bought the car 4 months ago].

Whenever I / we go cruising I think of him and wish he was around. Life is short - enjoy the ride.

I only posted here on this forum because its car / skyline related, hope I havent posted in the wrong place.

Looking forward to the next cruise - whenever that may be.

May the |down|force be with you!

Dale 5/4/2003 @ approx 0700.

Thanks again guys it means a lot to me!

It's mainly through what my father has taught me that I can cope with his death effectively. He was a great believer in the philosophy "everything happens for a reason" and I for one agree with it.

its wierd when that happens, you don't think it'll happen till it does. I lost a mate to meningacoccle late last year. He used to kick back with us, go out with us n stuff, esp drink up with us.

Its just wierd when you get to that point in the conversation and you know he's not gonna say sumfin any more, and you can't do anything about it either.

It mus be wierd having something you're so proud of dale an you're sure he would be too but... just not there. Life goes on...

Yeah shan I know what you mean, there has been so many times that I needed help with something [even little things] and I have thought "I will call and ask Dad" knowing that he knows an answer to a question I have, then I realise I can't. It is frustrating and upsetting.

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
