Awesome stuff Shell. Money saved for mods and you'll feel better. I felt so much better after 12 years smoking up to 1-1/2 packs a day that within 3 years I had won a silver medal at the national cycling championships. I still like an occasional Havana but only on real special occassions.

Now how do I quit having a stuffed back????

CONGRATS SHELL!! It feels like only yesterday you were telling me you were going to quit while I was wandering around woden lol :rofl: I'm so proud of you hun!! Good work!

Congrats to all those other now non-smokers as well!! :)

And good luck to all those other smokers wanting to quit, I quit a while ago gotta say I feel alot better :laugh:

hooray for shellypants :)

been about 6 months for me (quite a heavy smoker) feel pretty good

well done lovely

aww thanks jimbo and well done to you too!... 6 months is great, do you still have cravings?

and i have question for you, or anyone else who's quit...

Did you get sick??

Cos seriously....within one week of quitting I got a fluey head cold type thing - had to take a day off work... then it seemed to get *a bit* better and then last Friday it came back REALLY bad and I had heaps runny nose and got a cough so bad that I almost lost my voice :(

After talking to a couple of guys at work who have quit, they're all like "oh yeah, you get really sick" :)

I feel like I've had the flu for about a month now :mad: and I'm not the type that usually gets sick ever!

SkyGTRline & Frink.. well done!!! GO TEAM!

I'll be checking back to make sure you haven't caved in!!

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?

I quit for 8 months, I was sitting around @ the pubs, BBQ's etc all the time and drinking without smoking.. but I started up again..

Not to say you are not doing good.. ( GO SHELL!! heeh ) but it's an ongoing fight for a while.. I'll be quiting again soon I hope.

I got sick about 2 weeks after quiting, most people I know do/did

Yeah I smoke, have been for a few years... I know I should quit but I cant motivate myself to do it....

I think I'll have to set a date and stock up on patches

Its starting to be pain in the ass to smoke as well, cant do it at pubs, clubs, anywhere......I think Im gonna quit just because Its not worth going outside for a choof

I am so glad that they put all these restrictions in place i am sure for smokers it's a pain in the ass but sorry to say i don't care :) i can deal with people drinking as it doesnt effect me but when I come home stinking of smoke whenever i went out get's annoying and is gross :D

oh well i have sort of learned to live with it in most places but i am glad they got rid of it in food areas at the jerra pub

Honestly Im all for it as well, it makes smoking a pain in the ass.....bloody Oktoberfest.....had to smoke didnt I

:(

id quit not this wed but the one before so... bout a week and a half..

Went out last night... Got totaly smashed... and did have a few smokes...

:O Does this count...

it's ok... lots of people have a little relapse! don't think "stuff it i may as well just give up another time now"

just put it behind you!! :( good luck!!

I'm happy about the new laws too!! makes it easier for me!!

and if you think these laws are bad you should go to QLD... their new laws are you can't smoke anywhere, not even in the outside bits (like beer gardens etc). Even at the races I went to you couldnt smoke on the huge grass lawns, it sucked!! I think that's a bit harsh...you should be able to smoke outside.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
