no amount of complaining is ever gonna fix it

the sooner u accept the facts of life the easier its gonna be........ its just the same as all the shittest jobs out there pay the least is that fair HELL NO

farken AMEN brother!

as a qualified chef working in a 2 hat restaurant (fine dining) i worked 75+ hours per week for a take home pay of $520

not only is that unfair but there is not that many chefs out there that can even do these kinda jobs. it took me years to aquire the skills and do you get rewarded? FARK NO! you get f**ked in the ass

hence i have moved to a non fine dining restsurant and am much happier nowdays ;)

75 hours for 520 bucks im guessing ur on a salary???? isint it funny how its legal for a bussiness to rob u of ur life but if u walk n there n rob them its a crime

I thought it was a good report.

The guy researching hoon behaviour has a far more balanced view of the issue. I really think his ideas should be heard.

Yes 'hoon behaviour' is worth doing something about.

But NO, 'hoon behaviour' isnt automatically associated with serious accidents, it actually can be far more accurately categorised as nothing more than an annoyance, as he suggests.

So it is fair that it should be addressed in this sense, but it needs to be approached with the right perspective, that it typically isn't especially dangerous.

And to those who flame police - I understand that some police may treat some people unfairly. But you need to remember that a large majority of them are just normal decent people doing their job (in EXACTLY the same way that the majority of people who drive nice cars dont actually drive everywhere with copious amounts of wheelspin, using four lanes, with all of their cousins in the car with them and their music cranked up to 11)

This stereotype against police just serves to work against us. People in the car community and the police need to develop a MUTUAL respect for each other.

Its pretty simple really, if you dont act like a tool and give the police anything to hassle you for, if the mutual respect is there, then the police have no reason *to* hassle you, and wont.

If there is a mutual disrespect bred through people slagging off about how terrible the police are, it just continues to create more tension, and it becomes two opposing sides (car enthusiast v police) rather than two co-operating groups (car enthusiast *and* police).

The sooner the overall mentality changes the better.

As far as Im concerned I have no problems with the police at all. Yep Im definitely wary of them, in the same way that they seem to be a little wary of me when they see a youngish bloke driving a skyline.

In my experience so far, when they see Im not doing anything stupid, and when I see that theyre just making sure of that, its basically no problem and we both can go happily on our way.

...Which in my opinion is how it should be?

unfortunately its really only a look after yourself situation tho :wub:

i'm fine driving around with this attitude and i never get troubble..

but i'm sure when habibi uleh gets pinned for going sideways in his vl on chapel st with 13 people in the back it'll SOMEHOW be the police's fault ;)

I used to drive a VL :O long time ago though :D It had a great sound system, too bad the car used to shake uncontrollably whenever it was cranked!

To be fair ALOT of people develop the love for the RB engine while in their first car VL.

Anyway /derail over.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
