cheers guys. Went to the coopers ale house for a snitty and man, im buggered and didnt finish it.

btw anyone here play oz Lotto? neighbours gave me a ticket and ive got 4 numbers and no supps. Do i win much?

cheers Luke

coopsers ale house isn't bad! i went to this pub last week on hutt st in the city. i think it's called havelock or something along those lines? it was tastey, even the king beef snitzel which was like 600g? was tastey, didn't get sick of it

coopsers ale house isn't bad! i went to this pub last week on hutt st in the city. i think it's called havelock or something along those lines? it was tastey, even the king beef snitzel which was like 600g? was tastey, didn't get sick of it

was it tastey though?

so, ive had a shitty hour. decided that today being payday id cruise on down to local shell to pull some money out of the atm, and then head to the bp to fill the 200 with ultimate,

left the shell servo no worries, popped it into second and put my foot back on the gas, engine revved a little strangely, almost too quickly, without the car gaining any speed, bit odd i thought, but no matter, into 3rd and it does the same thing, and i start to smell clutch, f**k. so instead of heading to the servo i just started driving home with the slip getting worse and worse and worse, only just got the damn thing home, f**k.

FINALLY got the oil cooler, filter relocation kit that i ordered on ebay...

WORST ebay seller that i have come accross. had ZERO communication from this guy, not even a please pay me, or an invoice for my payment being recieved from him.

i emailed him throu ebay 4 times, with no response.... and the kit turned up on my doorstep last night.

i was so frustrated that i had tracked down all his details (through various menas that i have) and was about to book a flight to go "visit" him in QLD and have a "frank discussion", when it turned up... now i know that the flight/accomodation would have cost more than the cooler. Its the principal of the thing really.

BUT... now i have an oil cooler :P :P :( just gonna wait for my next oil change, n in she goes

well i just went for a drive in the skyline and got pulled over TWICE!!!! the second time wasnt so lucky got fined for no p plates, do i lose demerit points for that? !!! lucky no defect though.

Everyone I know of who didn't display P plates had their licence suspended for 3 months or so, but that was years ago. It is 'probation' afterall. Think you'll be getting a notice in the mail. Maybe they're more lenient now. Can anyone else clarify?

Yes - 3 demerit points. Although, I've seen talk in the news about reducing it to 2 demerit points...

But it's still 3 demerit points. Which means, if you're on your P's... that's all the points you can have! Even getting another 1 demerit point will be license loss :P

Edit: Ruby, no license suspension anymore. Just demerit points. Has happened to a countless number of my mates. One even got done for a faded P plate, which the cop just put down as "No P Plates"

ah not good dave what it slips 1st gear no boost? noremally you notice 4th and 3rd slipping first under load and boost

yeah, slips it all gears, off the clutch in first to get moving, engine revs to about 5k rpm and inches forwards, driving around in any other gear it struggles to move.

yeah, me thinks so, lookin at an exedy at the moment, should do the trick.

gonna wander down to the car yard i got the thing from to see if they'll cover the box which recently started acting up, might try and throw the clutch in too.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
