V was part of the cause of the topic I suspect.

Some say I have a mild case of ADD as I run at about thousand percent as it is, so if I took this stuff I might play squash even more, hassle the wife more, run around the block more, talk faster and get side tracked even more ( no not more says Merli) be impatient and frustrated having to stand in ques and microwaves are too slow, and why my part has NOT arrived that I ordered from UAS.

All in fun.

PS Are you reading this whilst at work in IT sipping on a V or Red Bull, whilst pretending to be doing computer work for the company?? He He.

Hey Carlo glad to see you use your real name even though it is a snazzy name at that. Not common like John. After playing Grand Turismo for real six days a week plus, I drink lots of filtered water actually and small red wine, also lots of soya milk, (yes I can immagine the young and the wrestless saying YUK). I also cuddle my kids work out in my mega home gym, play squash like a maniach or run around the block all in aid of slowing the mind down as super hectic during the day. If you really want to know I evenhave camomile tea to relax. As most small biz owners would know there is nearly always paperwork to do as well. I do love the action and excitement though.

Yeah I dont use an alias when I dont have anything to hide, it makes it easier when you go to a meet and you know what to call people. :rolleyes:

Camomile tea has a certain caffine content, however I do respect its relaxation properties. I often find that gym and exercise would gets my mind working even harder, although it does tire me out giving me at least a few hours decent sleep.

One thing is for sure, energy drinks like V dont really get me hyped as such. It is a energy boost, which I often need with only a few hours sleep a night. When working through the night nothing goes down better than a V four pack.

Hey Carolo I thought you might have been a closet V drinker, you have that intensity in motion look about you, and change gears at the track with pizzazz.

Re the bonnets silver? They are carbon and dark type carbon weave.

Re Cafene they say it stays in the system for days.

They also say if the turbin head radicals wanted to wipe out 90% of Australians within 24hours they would lace Coke ( black acid) and V drinks. I would survive easily, unless they put subliminal messages on Fleetwood Mack CD's Suggesting killing yourself.

Oh maybe they did not think of this. Save yourself stop putting V's down your throttle body as now they may do it. Sorry.

Pizzazz... Hell yeah! :P Now I just need to need purchase a nice set of tyres and work on turn 2 & EC. If I can do that with a similar about of style I will be a happy camper.

Yes, I drink alot of coke. It is like a smoking addiction (not that I smoke), but when I am stressed (which is quite alot in my job) I drink coke. I gave it up but had migranes, so I went back on it. It may not be a good thing, but its my only poor diet habit (other than Chocolate Mud Cake).

Its a shame we live in a world where someone could potentially want to harm so many innocent people, especially for some of the reasons which come to the light post these events. Still definatly not a reason to stop indulging in the small pleasures in life.

When it comes to Fleetwood Mack I am at a loss. It is not a genre I listen to. If you wanted to talk Ian Durey or Queen (which was more 70's & 80's) then I am all ears.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
