Due to no real progression in topics in our l'il ACT section(c'mon,face it:we're not really growing outta sight with new topics in the last 6 months...),I thought I'd throw this into the mix:

What's your fave' tunes being turned up on your home stereo/work radio/MP3 player(Ipod isn't the only brand,yes?)or car's stereo?What REALLY gets you amped/teary/thinking/working/mashing?I don't want or need anyone bagging other peoples' music/song selection:whatever you listen to is totally your call.I always like to see what other people are into;it usually jogs my memory of a song or album I need to revisit,or opens my eyes to new stuff that I otherwise wouldn't have listened to...

I know Ipods have that 'star rating' feature to keep your favorites in some sense of importance/priority of best/most listened to,down to 'meh...could care less'. What I'm curious about is what REALLY gets you lot out of the drone of everyday life,for,as we all know,music is one of the essentials for almost all of us!

So,maybe something like this:

Artist:Disturbed

Song/s: Voices,The Game

Album:The Sickness

Optional,genre: Metal

Optional,why?: Pumps the blood!

Artist:De La Soul

Album:De La Souls Is Dead

Song/s:Ring Ring Ring

Artist:

Album:

Song/s:

Optional,genre:

Optional,why?:

Artist:

Album:

Song/s:

Optional,genre:

Optional,why?:

And so on! Like I said,don't hack on other peoples stuff-no one is here to judge you! Don't know the specifics?Leave it blank.And if someone stuffs up something like what 'genre' their music is in your eyes,either get over it or keep it quiet!

C'mon people:LET'S GET IT ON!!

I like a bit of everything...but mostly rock I guess... Anything that's catchy really and isn't too boring or repetitive. Not a fan of rnb.

some bands of the top of my head are Linkin Park, Fort Minor, Hoobastank, Three Doors Down, The Offspring, Wolfmother, Arctic Monkeys, Audioslave, Ben Lee (his old stuff), Blink 182, Bon Jovi, Coldplay, Alex Lloyd, Eskimo Joe, Fuel, Gorillaz, Kelly Clarkson, Madonna, N.E.R.D., Paul Kelly, U2, not really into hip hop but i like a bit of the Hilltop Hoods stuff..

and I love HEAPS of old school 80's stuff :(:laugh:

Individual artists isnt my thing, more into a few songs on most every hit album since the 60's but get over it quickly by Overkill (playin it over n over). I'm totaly comercial so if it aint been on the charts and recently I'm prolly not playing it.

There is quite a few that spool the turbs. Mainly RnB, Gangsta and rock from the 80's. :)

Celibrate Rifles are my fav band , best album would be "blind ear" they are a 80`s rock/punk band i think I`m there only fan aged under 40

NOFX would be #2 , another 80`s punk band , just get any album they are all pretty much the same (F@#KIN GOOD) had to ban NOFX from the car , made me speed too much

Music which isn`t over 10 years old i would rate Muph and Platonic as the best , go aussie hip hop

Also like Stone Roses , Mountain Goats and The Herd

You should get down to JB Hi Fi man, they've got all their (bar the new one) Iron Maiden cd's on sale for TEN bucks man.

I'm going back to grab all the ones I don't have.

Their new CD (A Matter of Life and Death) is pretty cool.....so far it's a lot slower paced than their previous stuff but hey come on, the guy is like 50!!!

*head bangs*

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
