The stereo in my car was installed without a direct power or something so it resets every time you turn it off.

and I'm too much of a noob to re-do the install.

so.

it is a perfect timer.

and I start the car, get my bike on the back, bags in the boot, get in, belt on, in to reverse, and the radio says 12:02.

drive it at below 3000rpm and by the time I get to the freeway, the time says 12:06 and the engine temp is on half.

it has forged pistons too.

it has done about 50K kms since rebuild and has 323,000kms on the clock.

back awhile ago i use to do that, drive off without warming up, and the car feels really rough plus the gear change feels stiff too.

My 32 was just like that...so I used to set the turbo timer for about 5-6 mins and let it run while I ate my breakfast...very good idea

remote start while i'm brushing my teeth...

when i get in a minute later the climate control is just right, dvd is playing, cars starting to get warm and the back windscreen is demisted.

Waste of fuel + time in my opinion. Best advice is to get an oil temp gauge, and until its warm dont rev it.

I can't understand how anyone in their right mind would think warming up their car slowly is a good idea.

It just boggles the mind. A guy at work with a skyline does it, and i always say startin driving straight away, bring it up to temp sooner rather than later.

Most wear occurs when the engine is cold... so getting the temp up quicker is the best thing for it.

It doesn't mean rev it to redline it just means drive it like you would if your grandma was in the car until the temp gets up to normal.

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
