i happily pay $11 a day for parking for the convenience and to avoid public transport! only time i catch public transport is a cab, and work pays for it!

$11 is cheap for the city!

But you also have to realise I don't have a nice salary like yours.

Haha its pretty bad.. but least I don't have to pay $8 a day for parking..

$8 a day? I can only dream of that. parking in my building is $38 a day (early bird) and $56 if I don't meet the early bird requirement. that got old pretty quick...

yeah, a couple of hundred a week just for parking could be money better spent somewhere else I reckoned so now I catch the train. harbour bridge traffic in the mornings was driving me nuts too. now I just sit on the slow, stinky train and read or listen to my walkman. :) or sleep.

well laaa deee daaaahhhh!!!

lol!!! i just prefer driving!

rigghhhttt! what does that have to do with this convo? i don't spend elsewhere so i can pay for parking.. you could too i'm sure! for me a weekly ticket is $35, plus light rail $20-40, so screw that! And carrying 3 bags around.. once again, screw that! so your salary comment is totally irrelevant.. its a lifestyle choice and my lifestyle states not to park at a station, not to get up at 6:30am, not to be burdened with a zillion bags on a packed train and not to use public transport.. easy!

i used to play $25 early bird at the old building.. but that was aout 3 times a week.. i couldn't really justify it! but i was able to happily park my car at a station, and walk away.. not so easy to do now!

yikes.

at townhall it's $16 a day for early bird at st andrews car park. here at wynyard it's around the $20-26 mark for early bird. I usually drive around and have a look at the prices of different parking areas near my work. But i hardly drive to the city now so it's all good.

lol walkman

that's soooooooo 1995

LOL! a guy on the bus sitting next to me the other day had a cassette walkman. i giggled quietly.

yeah if u got heaps of shit to carry then fair enough. i couldn't really justify spending my return bus fare ($11 - or twice that amount at wynyard) + fuel cost + wearing out a car everyday to get to work. if it was free parking? hell yes i'd drive!

bus actually isn't too bad if u get used to it. there's heaps more buses and it only takes 45mins each way now thanks to the lane cove tunnel. the day i drove thru vic rd = over 1hr. screw that (even tho i MUCH prefer driving).

get a motorbike. parking is free in the city.

or is that scooters?

motorbikes are free as well i think. i've been considering this option for ages but im afraid of other cars on the road. even whilst driving a car i drive assuming every car around me will hit me.

I hate it when, you drive past a group of ppl and they go "RIP IT RIP IT.. DO A BURN OUT!! "

f**kin go get a life.. go rip yourself..

N i also hate it, when you are a set of lights, and a car full of ppl yell shit out to you..

This one time, at a set of lights(night time), with my windows up (very dark tints), i had some dickhead in the car next to me yellin race me idiot.. race me.. Even call me an idiot..

Some ppl are just asking to get hit..

I know there are heaps off cops with imports.. Im waitin for that day when they do something to them, and the guy who comes out of the import is a cop!! ohh would have loved to see that..

hhaha i get this all the time .. so the the door opens up and i get the extendable batten out..hahah should see the look on there face then and they take off...hahaha

wankers !

now ive got a new toy ... i wanna try it out and watch them curl up into a little ball when it hits them...

    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
