Recommended Posts

Im bored which has helped inspire this topic. Im sitting here at work and im wondering what other people that frequent SAU do for fun or to pass the time. You never know who might share your interest (sorry if there is already a tread like this in the ACT section.. i had a look but didnt see anything)

At the moment I am putting my model Chaser together, a couple more coats of paint and some clear coat and she is done

I am into table top wargaming (no not d&d as that is an roll playing game) like warhammer 40k etc. i havent played warhammer for a while but im always up for a game. also battlefleet gothic and inquisitor. anything to do with the warhammer 40k universe really

I also play alot of computer games, at the moment im mainly playing Dawn Of War (Souls Storm on PC) and COD4 (PC). I also have rainbow 6 vegas 1 and 2 (both on PC), grid (ps3), battle field 2 (PC) and numerous others. I sometimes hold LANs at my house so if anyone is interested in lanning let me know and i will let you know about the next one.

Im also watching stargate sg-1 on dvd, im up to season 7

So yea, what do all the rest of you do?

Currentl playing Fallout 3, into warcraft a bit, but not as much as I used to. Have a fair few model cars, but slowly getting rid of them. Might be interested in so,me LAN gaming in the future.

Love computer games but don't have much time to play them anymore. Recent stuff I've been playing is F.E.A.R., Ghost Recon 1 & 2, NFS: Carbon & ProStreet, Company of Heroes, World in Conflict, etc...

I also like taking photos

Usually find myself screwing around with computers, helping friends with theirs & stuff

Mucking around with cars obviously

And I like going to the gym, but spent a bit too much time away recently.

Sheez where to start

When I'm not working for money or working on the car, I'm driving the car or maybe dreaming of buying parts for the car. I spend far too much time on forums. I'm often thinking what would make a good event for Skylines ACT or other groups/friends I am associated with.

Yes I play Fallout 3 currently and other assorted games when time or GF permits

I browse auctions for interesting things, just purchased a coin operated candy machine and a new house today

I spend time with the family, including the pets. They all need time.

I practice martial arts and occasionally get roped into instructing

I cook & clean and do general household stuff, now that really passes the time.

And lastly I occasionally sleep.

LOL what WOW server are you on? I haven't played in over a year but it's a small little community on the Aussie servers!

Hmm I have been studying a lot! I am not going to know what to do with myself next week.... No car and no homework!!

Lucky we just got Silent Hill 5 :) We have quite the selection of gaming consoles here. Big children we are!!

you bunch of gaming nerds :) I like Buzz... that's about it :P

I spend way too much time on the net :P

Love music and am often ripping cd's/sorting out my collection

Go shopping

Go visit family

Walk my dog

Spend a fair bit of time doing SAU club stuff

and the usual dinners, drinks, events with friends

I guess nothing you'd really count as "hobbies" though... maybe I need to find a new one :D

Playing PC games, watching anime, movies or TV series on computer

Go to friends house for lans & to grab more games, animes, movies & TV shows off them & repeat the above again...

& Sleeping takes up 1/2 of my life :P

Thought of the Day: Purge the Unclean

hehehe

I was going to reply..............then replied.......looked at my answer and saw that I don't do anything like what everyone else is doing.........I was way different, so went back and deleted my answer so the game tragics could have it.

So I have to agree with Shell.......yawn

Haha, I used to play a lot of games when I was 16 :( Now I am a music nut, with a dementedly eclectic taste. I play guitar. Looking at getting into recording at home. I read a lot of wiki RE history of the world and how it came to be the current shambles it is. I don't mind a bit of origami either. Like photography but need some ideas for where/what to shoot around here (or... I could just go for a random drive :teehee: ). I'm also into Hifi and listening to music on headphones (Dark Side of the Moon!). Oh, car audio too, except my head unit just died (DOH!). Also love a social game of squash (the most bastardy sport I've found so far, making people run).

What martial arts John? I used to do Judo and should really get back into it. Got to green belt when I was 17.

Shell, do you use last.fm ? my last.fm

    • In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.
    • I was mostly jesting. In my experience (and probably only my experience) the R34 GTT physical airbox space is actually too small to flow the amount of power it wanted. By sealing the box, I made it so it could only be fed by the ducts themselves. So you can seal it up and get nice cold air which IS good, but at a certain crossover point: More Hot Air > Less Cold Air I don't think you're at this point. In my case merely ducting the hot air intake with a very focused set of ducts counteracts the fact it's in a V8 engine bay. More cold air obviously best. The solution looks great.
    • Nah, the OEM CAI pipe is still installed behind the bumper, it is about 5" x 3" oval at the engine side, tapering down to a 3" pipe behind the bumper where it gets all the ambient air it needs Engine side of radiator support OEM intake pipe "oval hole" that is right in front of the filter My OEM NC1 CAI pipe: From NC2 onwards, below pic, they come slightly smaller at 2.75" diameter with corrugations and a resonance chamber to reduce intake noise, lucky for me my NC1 has the bigger noisy one, LOL   Basically, the "sealed" airbox will just get ambient air from a 3" pre filter intake tube that is the same size, 3" as the rest of the intake pipe post filter, and if a 3" intake isn't big enough to flow enough air for 150 killerwasps then there are other issues The whole intake is basically the same length as OEM, but it is now about 30% bigger from the airbox back through to the new intake plenum than OEM, and the intake plenum is port matched to the head And the intake is now about 30% bigger than my 2.5" exhaust, so the suck, squeeze, bang and blow black magic should be fine, well, to my uneducated understanding of fluid dynamics anyway Talking the the guys at MX5 Mania, it may even make a few more killerwasps as the intake isn't sucking hot air, especially off idle or when in slow traffic when it would be sucking hot air  As for the difference in IAT, I haven't logged IAT yet, as I don't currently have a OBD2 reader, but I will have a play with my thermal lazer thingie next time I take the car out to sèe how hot stuff gets under the bonnet near the intake filter prior to installing the air box, my "assumption is it has to be much better after the air box is in and sealed up compared to what it is now The aftermarket "performance" CAI elephant in the room: Aftermarket CAI intakes typically have the air filter tucked up behind the bumper, with a 2.5" intake tube (the OEM intake pipe is actually about 30% bigger than the fancy pants "aftermarket" version.....WTF), and you need to remove the bumper to service the filter, which is a PITA Like dis:    
    • Nice one, I'd argue that the white S1 RS260 is certainly the best looking of the Stageas. And yes, fully agree on the forum situation. It's a bit of a shame, but at least SAU is a good place to be. I found the facebook groups to give me FOMO because people were trying to one-up each other and show off in some way. Feels much more natural here. There are people with seriously nice builds, but I can appreciate it rather than it making me question my life choices. Might be that people are more open with sharing how much work/money/suffering it takes to actually get there. 
    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!
