Boost contoller and wheel spacers, If he didn't find those he would of got me for to low and front window tint anyway. The Cops son has an R32 so there was no chance of him missing anything.

Just got terrible news. Anyone hear about the train crash between the car and train yesterday? I knew the girl. Sad sad news indeed, only 23 and was going away for the weekend to celebrate her birthday. To come to such a grizzly end... words do no justice. Please keep her family in your minds if you have a spare minute and your prayers if you beleive.

Thanks guys :P

yeh sucks... there hitting everything and anything they can!! maybe its money for the motorsport complex?? hahaha yeh right!

What do they need money for the motorplex for, no one is asking the government for anything other than approval to build. This is how the government has got the general publics back up about the building of the track by giving the impression that these hoons are asking for millions of dollars to build a track, which is not the case.

Cheers mate, and yes, totally unnecessary... another example of why to live life 100%, you never know when your plug will get pulled

Got pics of your new wheels Matt? Are you coming to poker at Burger's next Friday night?

Hey Andrew, sorry mate, I took too long to do everything I had to do this afternoon, so missed out on getting pics during daylight hours :P Here's the best I could do under the lights of the garage and a Sony DSC-T200 point and shoot:

Very sad to hear about the train/car accident too, so young :happy:

heh great minds. i had one of those a couple hours ago, but i also had fried mushroom in butter, fresh parsley and a slice of cheese to top it off >:happy:

and runny yolk ftw

Well for the first course we had the following:

3 slices of toasted bread

3 eggs, sunny side up

250grams of bacon

smokey bbq sauce

So, double decker b&e toasted sandwich packed with all the good stuff.

This was followed by half a dozen Toohey Extra Dry Platinum, various spatterings of Jim Beam Black, Johnny Black, Jim Beam Single Barrel, Jack Daniels, Jamesons 12 y/o, Johnny Walker Green, Apple Tequila (direct from Tijuana), Amaretto (direct from Tijuana), Giesen Sauvignon Blanc, Woodstock Botrytis, Seppelts Gewurtstraminer, and finished off with some of my current fave red Pertaringa Understudy Cabernet Petit Verdot.

Various 8 ball games ensued.

2nd course consisted of:

2 slices of toasted bread

1.5 eggs well done

150grams of bacon

smokey bbq sauce

Followed by various Wii games.

Result = win :P

Nice wheels, good fitment and plenty of dish - I like a lot Matt!

Thanks Andrew. Didn't want anything crazy in terms of fitment, so stuck with mild offset and width. I did want reasonable rubber on the thing though - R888's provide more grip than I was expecting!

Really impressed with the new QFM K750 pads too. Switched from Greenstuff to the K750's and what a difference straight up. Did a bit of bedding in and ran some kays on them today and then hit them hard. Even with the braided lines, slotted rotors, and fresh RBF660, I can tell the pads are the big improver.

Really liked the sound of your arvo too mate :P

I run the R888's and the QFM A1RM's at the track and boy do they work well. Im very impressed with both.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
