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.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
