Ok, so rang up transport sa today and apparently i have to do a 'learners practical test' before i get my P's back..? Is this where you drive around with a dude in a car telling you to turn here and turn there blah blah and marks u on it? If so THAT REALLY SUCKS! Boss is going away for 4 weeks and im pretty much running the store from 7 til 5 so dont have free time! Hopefully they can do it on a saturday.. Anyone know?

what a pain! if its a test done in office at TSA you'll probably need to do it in business hours. But if its one of those practicals where you drive around, you shouldnt have a problem doing it on the weekend... you'll probably end up needing to go back to TSA to complete their bloody paperwork (in business hours) after you finish

Just detailed the whole car today... its very shiny... Come on summer hurry up get here :blush:

Jarrad - instructors can come weekend but less hours available - eg weekdays 8-7, weekends 10-5.... something like that.

I want to shoot my dog. :P

Less than 24 hours at the new house and its ripping up the backyard, jumped the fence into the neighbours yard, climbed all over my furniture, put a hole in my shed, and has now damaged the interior to the house. The dog has never behaved like this before. Its just gone nuts :blush:

Here's a pic of a homebuilt pocket/pitbike racer me and a racing buddy built last year.

All the guys at the Pooraka track had a good laugh at it, until my mate and I broke the lap record on it that day. :laugh It was pretty awesome to ride it. Now I'm almost finished with my custom pitbike (mini motard) and I'm going back soon to try breaking the lap record again :blush:

Maybe he found the previous owners clandestine meth lab and thought it was icing sugar..

-D

yeah man practical test is the one where you drive around with an instructor and have to do reverse parallel parking, 3 point turn etc etc.

Goodluck dude :banana:

Haha oh great! LOL I was hoping it would be one of those tests where they have a set course of roads/streets to follow and you have to abide by the road rules all they way and they grade you on it, im hoping its that anyways. For one, i cant reverse paralel park, my first instructor let me off because i was 'close enough' and had done it everytime but that time. And for 2, i havnt driven for 6 months, i mean, ive hardly been in a car and they expect me to pass it, but yeah, ah well, see how we go i guess. Thanks for the info guys.

Bah f**king povpack bullshit outback hillbilly inbred having sex with their cousins type bush mechanic idiocy

wtf are we all gonna be portrayed as yokel knobs that drive 30 yr old shitboxes that need to be hot wired

note to producers ; we have sealed roads in the cities.... they might be crappy sealed roads but theyre not gravel

this is the sort show that some dickhead at channel 7 says 'RIGHT lets give Shannon Noll a crapload of cocaine and tell him to go >fully sik< on it... hell we can even have a bootscooting segment... yeee hawwwww'

"How good was that?" is starting to sound like the opening question to the answer "Good az brew"....

Vomit

-D

reminds me that ive got a skyline sitting in my shed lol............will be something different to drive again afta so long when i get it out in a few weekends

hoping i havent lost the feel for the slide though........been 5 months since i last slid :s

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
