so, this was an interesting day

get my rego renewal for the patrol. tells me to ring them up as there's problems

ring them up

"oh, your car is defected"

"no its not"

"yes it is, 17th march it got done"

"riiiight........i got that cleared"

rang sturt. they punched it into the system and voila..........im still flagged as defected. Said i came in and got it cleared a few days after, but ive since (read: a month ago) ripped up the slip as i thought id never need it again. They just rang me (mid me typing this post) to tell me in the last 3 and a bit hours of checking the till receipts, they found my receipt and have put the defect thru as cleared in the system (finally)

what a lol

Thats why i always keep the defect forms in my glovebox, Its happend to me before aswell.

soooo ..... I bought my new car today :)

It is in the final stages of beig complied, and I will fly to Melbourne to pick it up in a couple of weeks.

Who is up for a road trip? Thining of flying to Melb late Sat 11th July returning Sun 12th July - stay overnight at sister-in-law's place/go out on the piss, then leave early Sunday morning for home.

Please don't ask what it is, and the few people that already know, please don't give it away :rofl:

Cool guys, will work out flights etc tomorrow. So can you 3 let me know if you are 100% up for it? I can 'pay' for you all via frequent flyer points if you each give me $80 (that's what the points equate to), else you could catch the red eye Saturday morning and book your own flight for $139 (cheapest fare) and spend the day in Melbourne before I fly in. Unfortunately the cheapest flights on my desired flight at 3:15pm ex-Adl are $200 :) - hence my offer to pay via Frequent Flyer points - or if you have your own feel free to do that too - 8,000 points. Think about it and let me know tomorrow 100%.

Not sure how many people I want to take .... but 4 of us might be a nice number for a bit of fun. If there is 4 though, we might have to get a hotel room .... but still we all would theoretically fit at my sister-in-laws. Will think harder about that.

Super excited about the car - it is the same colour, model and specs as the one I had discussed with a few of you, but is not the actual car I was looking at - it is a different car (obviously) from Melbourne. Much better car, for a much better deal.

I dunno about the details but I'd be happy to cruise up to the border at keith or mt gambier or whatever and meet up

-D

Hmm, random, spur of the moment flight/road trip?

I'll see what I've got on that weekend :)

that JZX100 markII looks awesome man.

I almost bought on instead of my GTR - Was looking at them and the normal JZX100's. But imo they're still a big 4dr and I wanted something totally different in terms of driving style so thats what pushed me towards the GTR.

Few sexy jzx100's floating around fs

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
