i have 9 days to go, there going to let me go 7 days over b4 they decided to induce me.

got told to do lots of star jumps but that's not gonna happen lol.

we had another scan today, just to make sure everything is tip top after a few ''dilemmas'' even got to keep some pics :)

all is good :P tis now nearly 10 weeks along, and is already 3 cms long. heartrate @ 167bpm.

its good to know everything is on track :P

shane, she's gotta pop soon mate, surely.

they like to keep you in suspense don't they lol.

glad to hear everything is fine now Craig. aww you got to keep some photos. 3cm is so tiny, i never got an ultrasound

b4 12wks and mine was 10.5cm at that time i think, apparently double the size there meant to be haha.

Double? Oh dear.... you're going to have one tall kid it sounds like.... pretty useful for reaching stuff off the top shelf at the local supermarket.. better stock the crib up with a basketball and some size 21 shoes

Ahhh scans are great aint they! We've got all the photo's from our scan's its so exciting specially when you get to see it moving around!

Mate, she's got tlll 3pm next wednesday afternoon then they're inducing her so either way next week it'll be out and i'll be a daddy!

lol her growing slowed down, thankfully. i'm hoping she's tiny so i'm not having a mammoth haha.

well i just figured out her head is 2/5ths engaged and i had no idea she was even engaged

every1 tells you "you'll know, you'll feel her engage", well i didn't grr.

so now i have some serious walking to do to get her down further.

Boof- hope things happen naturally if not then i hope the induction goes well. :banana:

4+ years ago my other half had scans down at Flinders Private. Was told to bring in a VHS tape recorded the scans.

Brought them home and played it over and over until I spotted its sex. :banana:

Forced Induction!! On a baby!!! Hardcore!!!!1one

How many PSI ?

-D

LOL!! Alot mate inducing them is really really long work, have to wait 6 hours between each stage and what not.....

Anyways we were late by 5 days and she eventually came out by herself...Although she's being stubborn atm lol!!

well i'm getting induced, going to the hospital at 3pm and getting some gel put in to ripen/soften my cervix as it's still closed

ahh was told after 6hrs there going to get me to go for a walk, then there going to break my waters and put a drip in to get the

contractions going. so i'll be having her either 2moro night or sometime Wednesday.

feels so weird, i knew it was going to happen but now that it's actually happening it's different.

Hope it all goes well Amanda.

Carolyn was induced with Tyler - started at 9am and didn't finish delivering until 9pm - was a long day, but worth it :woot:

Here is a recent pic of the cheeky little guy

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
