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.

just remember the people we love, even though not with us pysically, are alive with us, in our hearts and minds

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
