Trust me - its a hell of a lot more annoying when it's not you that gets a car that is isn't yours, which is needed 1000km away impounded on a public holiday.

I should write a book.

Nasty. My mate had an accident up there once, and most tow companies he called wouldnt even go out there. And those that would charged huge amounts.

I didnt know Jack at that time either :yes:

Just on this again - the police with radars were hiding in the bushes overlooking one of the few straight bits of the Black Spur. The roadblock was then a few KM down the way, in a mobile phone 'black' zone. This was so the motorbikes couldn't call or text back to their mates to turn around and skedaddle. It also meant the rozzers couldn't call me to stop my car from being incorrectly impounded. Sneaky, but clever.

No fun allowed anywhere anymore.

And for the record, the particular car in question goes from legal to speeding in about 1-sec. Bummer.

I am surprised. Im guessing its maybe from preasure from locals in the area. I had a pretty hairy experience with a local up there one time "taking things into his own hands". Long story, so maybe ill save it for another time.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
