Satisfaction Is...


Recommended Posts

... having strangers at traffic lights roll down their windows to talk tell you how hot your car is.

It's also parking your car, going for a walk, and seeing some people you know perving on your car without knowing it's yours :P.

Who else has had some moments like this which have totally justified your purchase (and made you realise just how good you look)?

having all sorts of people, young and old, admire the car.

people thinking your rich for driving one [ahahahaha]

people trying to race me off the lights, and i just cruise normally.....

not satisfaction... but a pet hate.... people keeping up with you, staying in the lane next to you, driving behind you, following you on the road to perve at the car....

is....

1. Having a lifetime Holden fan admit that your car is better than his :bunny:

2. Listening and feeling the mechanical symphony every time you press your right foot to the floor.

3. Being pulled over by a cop to ask what car is that? And chatting to him for 15 minutes without fear of getting a defect.

I remember the car being admired at, more by males and some females. Remember being asked about it at the petrol station and at traffic lights. These days only get a few glances. It seems they are plenty on the road and people got used to them...

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
