step 1 ask for advice on what mods to do to your car

step 2 take days off work, spend thousands on car in various workshops

step 3 wait till the next person complains about the mods you have done and begin from step 1 again

:( That about sums it up.

BTW got my Cooling Pro delta fin intercooler this week. Fill that big mouth in the front bar now :(

I'll stick my current Cooling Pro fmic on the silver Stagea.

Also planning that manual conversion for the black stagea in the next few months :P ... then track time!

Selling stolen phones and cronic :( thats how u afford gtrs kids

:P:(

Reminds me of when I was in year 9, I was at Marion with a bunch of mates. And a bunch of gangster guys came up to me and said "hey man, you want a mobile?" and I was like "nah" and he pulled out a old 3315 and said "$100." and I said "dude, I don't even work"

The good old days of playing Snake on a Nokia 3310/3315!

i had 3310 and droped it 3stories, cover came off but went back on and worked just fine :P

gota love the old briks. kept mine for ages, nearly got as much abuse as my dato :(

speaking of which discussions have began on possible rebuild, might start looking into doing a full restoro on it. yes ill fix the damn window and roof :( will be a longer term project after i finish uni. figure it will be good car to play with that way if i break anything it dosnt matter

My dad had a 5110 and I played snake on it all the time, then I had a 3310 and that was awesome, and I had an 8210 along the line aswell as a 6510 and that was a bad ass looking phone.....

...and like when the 7210/7250 came out with colour screen omg that was like sensational!

Ones Ive had that I can remember are: 5110, 3210, 3310, 8210, 2100. Some LG thing, a ZTE F850 (it was free), and some other Nokia before this one... 5100? It had 3G, 2mp camera, wifi etc. And now a Apple iPhone.

I've always liked the Motorola Razr's. My mum has had a couple of different razr's and I think they are pretty good

is it me or are psi boost gauges rare as hens teeth?

yes theyre rarer because they are using INCHES as the measurement and are imperial

Bar is metric and mmHG is a scientific measure.

I bought my psi VDO gauge from gaugeworks. They have several different types

-D

Wow ... I just landed an awesome job at work! (sense the sarcasm?)

Create a directory on our intranet and transfer 10 years worth of Development Plan CDs onto it. 12 CDs per year x 10 years = over 100 CDs (some months had no Development Plan editions) @ over 500MB per CD of info = massive headache. Some of the CDs are beyond their shelf life and not reading properly for the transfer. Oh goody!

:P

yeah, but its not too hard to convert bar-psi in your head.

math not ya good subject? :P thought watching for card counters you would have some skillz

real cars come with boost gauges :P and only milk n juice come in 2LT etc etc

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
