Would like to show my appreciation to this random act of kindness.

I was driving down to meet up with Scott to pick up some Redline gearbox oil when I noticed I was leaking boost and the car was running like shiet.

Anyways I met up with Scott then as I was about to leave, I decided to pop the hood to see what was going on. I previously cracked my FMIC and dodged up a repair job using some liquid nails for the time being, thought that was the problem, but this time I actually noticed a IC hose clamp popped off..

So whilst at Maccas, I pulled out my tool kit and swtiched a hose clamp from the lower part of the IC and attached it to my TB. I was working in the dark of course, because of where I parked.

Then this man walked out from Maccas with his son and asked if i was alright, I told him I should be alright working in the dark, I'm nearly finished anyhow, but he insisted I needed more light and moved his car over and turned his headlights on. I felt bad as his little kid was sitting in the car waiting patiently. I told him its ok and I didn't want his son waiting, but he insisted.

Awesome person!!

similar thing happened to me, just got onto the m4 from merrylands heading towards city, 5 boys in a civic sedan, hit vtec a couple times, then bang. engine dead from oil starvation.

so there we were, 5 of us pushing the civic to the nearest exit. we come to rest at the mouth of the exit, and call for a friend to buy oil at the nearest servo.

an hour later, a female asian chick pulls up by herself in an echo, and asks if we need any help! no one else but her had stopped to ask us 5 blokes if we were ok.

good on ya!

johnilicite, i think ive seen you around the fairfield area.

It does exist!

I locked the keys and everything else in the GTR today.. and left it running..

Just when I got home and checked the mail.

I had to ask one of the neighbours if I could borrow her phone to get some help and she helped me out.

I gave her a bottle of wine to say thankyou and I think she really appreciated it.

Oh oh I've got a story.

I was getting off the M2 at the Hills exit a couple of years ago when the car stalled at the traffic lights and the battery was fudged. Because the car was so damn heavy and no power steering it mean I couldn't really push the car by myself. So I waited in the middle of the 4 lane road for the better part of the hour while I waited for the battery to arrive. At least a few hundred people drove by that hour and only one guy managed to stop and help me push it to the side of the road. So the ratio isn't looking too good at the moment, come on people, get out there and do some good.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
