20 in your 31 ftw!

hey steady eddy, you say hello to leanne for me?

if kylie stil works there, ask if she wants a repeat of what we did on the counter lol

Yeah, she and some of the other staff remember you...apparently you talked about your 33 a lot :D

Kylie left before I started there but she came back the other week so I'll ask her when we're on the same shift next.

probably Steve.

Ok, so i have bought a Power FC, no hand controller. Should i get a HC before i worry about installation and tune?

Just got my HID kit, which looks (to me) like the connection from my globes to my HID kit dont match. Anyone wanna fit it for me, or know of someone who will do it? Im thinking Auto Perfection.

Cheers guys.

is it the whole kit globes and igniters, becuase HID globes are different to halogen globes :D

Steve, won't they take it back?

they may i need to clean the gasket goo off it and make it look unused

hurry up nice weather. Im keen for a victor/murry bridge cruise again.

hey guys, I've been away from my computer for about 4 hrs and just got back to see the mods have removed the thread about "Photos" from that dude with the bi-polar disorder.

Did he end up flaming me for saying that manic depressants shouldn't be off their medication?

I don't know if I should've been laughing or feeling sorry for the poor buggar.

yeah you werent to know Pete Chris is a nice guy little eccentric

so craig, in a nutshell, what what else was said after my post to that dude?

I was hoping to found out what his deal was beofre the thread was actually deleted.........he obviously came across as a hacker with a few personal issues!

yeah dont flame just based on one meeting

I see the "SA Photo" thread is gone too.

Chris is an ok bloke, but has had some issues in the past - guess you could say he is a rather misunderstood kind of guy. Its not my place to talk about his past, but just remember he is a nice bloke who's had some issues. I'm sure everyone on here has had their good/bad days, and today probably wasn't one of his better with regards to agreeing with forum rules.

limewire + broad-band FTW! 234 songs since sat night lol

how many kegobytes is that craig

My car has been mis-firing inconsistently for the last week

As in some days it will run beautiful for an hour then mis fire for a while then clear itself up and run fine again!

I ran a couple bottles of injector cleaner through it, didnt really seem to make much difference at all.

Any suggestions?

Really wanna fix this tomoro arvo if possible, really starting to shit me to tears, stalled it just before the intersection as it 'randomly' started to mis fire again today

yeah i too would say AFM maybe dry solders or cracked coilpacks

oh and my new dump pipes

post-13315-1219756431_thumb.jpg

i got my dump pipe from andrew too..awsome job but my dump pipe had a circle thing that sat in the exhaust housing instead of the eyebrow thing that seperates the wastegate

but yes awsome quality there

yeah Pete i asked if you rang we had a laugh together because he wasn't sure who you were talking about because i had only met him once

cant wait to see how they go with new tune on friday want to do a before power run and after power run with only changing the dumps

if you think you wash your car to much some would say not enough

>>See Here<<

EDIT

Vu you would get so sick of a screamer

Just got back from a 5 day trip to Melbourne.

Hired a VE SV6 Commodore with 23k on the clock.

At first I began thinking about 6ltr + turbo + 275 sticky tyres and its traction control working nicely.

THEN..........

Soon discovered it already has a whoopwhoop wheel bearing thats on its way.

A nasty arsed harmonic that occurs on some road surfaces that drives you absolutely insane at ~110km/h.

The centre dash grill looking thing is already peeling up.

A rattle in the drivers door

A rattle in the dash over reasonable bumps

Doors close like and thud like a cheaply made Korean car.

Feels as if the spring rate needs to be a tad tighter for the weight of the car and rebound tightened up as it has way too much body roll and seems to launch in to the air over wavey dips in the road at high speed. Definitely not 'sports' suspension like the older VS/VT's had.

Brakes feel soft and not confidence inspiring through the hills.

Its fairly sluggy overtaking from 90-100km/h and really hits a brick wall at 140-150km/h. Feels like it really starts to push the wind.

Fuel economy on the open road is 8.5L/100km's.

City is around 12.5l/100km's driving it really soft.

Looks as if build quality has not improved since my last Commodore (VS 5ltr 5speed) that I bought with low km's when it was only just 2years old.

Definitely wouldn't sink 40k in to one which is what the SV6 is worth. Quite disappointed as I really began to think about a nice big cubed v8 with a turbo hanging off it. :D

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
