I think I got a diff for my 18th.

Haha thats pretty sick.. i dont even think i got anything for my 18th.. cheap arse parents.. *grumbles*

my 20th was better then my 18th.. how lame am i!

An 'experience' as opposed to a 'present' is good if you don't want anything in particular... ie: harbour bridge climb, skydiving, paintball with all your friends, swimming with dolphins or sharks etc... something you will always remember rather than something that you think is a good gift now but in a few years is boring...

Although - the tools is a great idea (as long as they're not cheap ass super cheap auto brand or something equally crappy!).

I turn 18 in Feb, whatever I'm getting is a 'suprise'.

I don't know what I really want anyway. One of those Jason Lay-Z-Boy recliners would go down pretty sweet as a computer chair though.

One I saw had a fridge and stuff in the hand rest. ^_^

I guess an unrestricted license would be cool, but unfortunately no one who I know who works at the RTA is willing to make that the best 18th birthday present ever.

Do you like car magazines? Get someone to hook you up with a yearly subscription?

Money is probably the best one though. Behind the recliner chair.

Maybe you can get yourself pack of "pull up" nappys instead of traditional ones as you are BIG kid now! :);):O:kiss::wub:

Sorry man I couldn't resist.

I got myself money.. went to the casino with $150 walked out with $900.. Probably could have done better.. but I've never seen that much money before, know when to quit :O

the cheapest blow up doll you can buy in an adult store. trust me, it'll be f**kin hilarious. especially when you blow her up and everyone plays basketball with it. :)

By basketball you mean hide the sausage right?

Tools are an awesome idea. I got a nice set of tools for my 18th.

Before that, I used to keep banging my hands, wrecking bolts. I never used to think it mattered.

Now, if I dont' have the right tool, i either buy it, or pay someone else to do the job.

Oh, I also got a GF for my bday. I know that's not something that you can ask for. lol. But it really makes your day.

I knew a bunch of tools, but I don't hang around them anymore... No wait, you're talking about spanners, screwdrivers and stuff like that, right? Yeah, they're definitely a good idea! :)

And if you got a girlfriend on your birthday, and it really made your day, what did you do the next day? :P:O:ninja:

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
