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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
