well I have finally done it!! I'm sooo proud of myself!!!

It's been about 5 weeks so far and I've been through all the hard tests like drinking alcohol, and sitting around (at BBQs, pubs etc) while other people are smoking.

So, has anyone else here quit?? How long did you smoke for and how did you go about giving it up?

Congrats.........................you are [now] already a better looking person as well as healthier. And you won't get around smelling like an ash tray. Keep up the good work, stay strong.

Nothing worse than seeing somebody with a ciggie hanging out of their gob. It's an ugly sight.

PS I gave up so long ago I'm afraid to say, but when a packet of smokes went $1 I said nu hu too much.

Congrats!

I gave up about 3 months ago aswell. I smoked for 10 years and allways hated it but could never quit. then oneday they went in the bin and that was it!

I feel heaps better and am not ashamed anymore. but every time I hit beer number 7 out come the ciggaz...

it makes me feel sick to think about it. ewwww.

damn you Shell !!!! :)

everyone's bugging me to stop smoking, but i havent even attempted it.

i think i gotta make the desicion for myself, and then it will work.

congrats. good work.

I know your pain!

Everyone I know who smoked gave up, and whilst they are pressuring me to quit - the more they push the more I don't want too!

Best of luck Shell! I quit a few years back for about a year.... Then I went to Indy and the rest was history :)

well done shell congrats.

as for myself i never thought of quiting nor don't think of quiting, other-half hates it when i spark up, but she put up with it for 2 years so i guess she can put up with it for a lot longer, as she says she can't wait for me to 'kark it' so that she can have the gtr when i do.

I fully respect other people when they say they hate smokers so i make sure i go for a walk (or in a corner) when i do. As for 'other-half' after i finish sparking up, i wash my hands, and fill mouth with tick-tacks, that keeps her silent for a while until i spark up 10-15mins later.

thanks everyone!! :D

Veilside, I probably smoked about 2 packs a week (of 40's). I know it doesnt sound as much as some, but i'd been smoking for over 10yrs so it was still hard :laugh:

The reason I quit was totally out of the blue... I just got the shits one night about having to pay $17 for ciggies at a servo (the only thing open when i finish work) and i was having a pov week and wasn't even sure if I HAD $17 in by bank account... so I thought fck it!

I'd never tried to quit before, I had always thought I will do it "one day" - so that night I decided that it was time!

i think i gotta make the desicion for myself, and then it will work.
this is SO TRUE... you gotta have it happen like I did where you actually WANT to quit and you're only doing it for your own reasons.

I didn't even tell anyone for the 1st week.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
