G'day all I would like to say thank you all for past 4 years.

Some you know me well and some you dont...(your loss) hehhe

anyway I have joined Korean Army and I will be away for next two years as Medic in South Korean Army.

It was hard choice to leave my family and friends, I've lived in Perth for last 13 years, I have been longer in Australia than South Korea.

I only have good no Great experience of Australian culture and people.

I am citizen of Republic of Korea and I believe its my duty to serve my own country and protect our people.

Its very tense in Korean penisula with north korean nuclear testing and break down of peace talk. However I beleive there will be peaceful solutoin to this... if not I guess I might have to actually use force, in my case fix people as medical officer.

As of next monday and next two years I will be working in Red Cross division of South Korean Army.

I will pop in say hello time to time :)

I wish you all for best of luck in your life.

especially I would like to thanks to Dan, Lizz and Boostzor and others sorry I forgot most of your name.

Thank you and good bye.

Cheers

Joey :P

I'll Be Back... :)

Even though I never got to meet you, best of luck with everything. It takes a lot of courage to take such a big step and the world would be a better place if there were more people as selfless and as caring as you in it. Good job mate you should be proud of yourself.

All the best,

Sasha

:(

Just keep your head down and only volunteer for stuff like getting drinks and reporting to headquarters and such and you will be fine. I hope Basic is not too rough though. Try to stay off gravel as we know you have trouble with your footing in that harsh environment :(

  • 5 months later...

G'day all , I am still alive and kicking :P I can not believe its been 6 months since Ive left the Perth.

I am in ROK as Medical officer, working in the army hospital Orthopedic surgery. I have seen alots of bronken legs and cruciate ligament damages.

Good on ya for going over there, will be and interesting experience thats for sure, hopefully not too interesting :huh:

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
