booze bus was on opposite side of the road, they just gave us a stare as 20 skylines past them on the left.

The cop who decided to setup on the other side of the road would be kicking him self lol

yeah my miss's saw that dude on the roof

WTF :unsure: are those glow in the dark number plates? RBPOWA and GTT4DR, (last pic).

nah just super clean :D

Yeah, it was good not being the only person left out for once. :)

There weren't any troubles keeping up at all. Except for when I missed the U-turn after we had left the car wash I had to push it a bit, second time I've done that now. hahaha

I think my car might've been blowing a little bit of smoke.. Car's running a bit rich I think.

yeah black smoke coming out at high rev's anyway, was behind your a fair bit

Im glad that no one got defected its a good thing i didnt even see a cop on the way home and i had to go through the city lol

Is anyone cruising up on sunday to the show and shine i would rather drive up with someone maybe wash b4 and drive up together if anyones down let me know :D

yeah i'll be washing my car just up the road from there. big servo on the corner, and one before it also so plenty access to carwash

..... i should of stuck around . what time you guys leave the photoshoot ? . i got lost on the way home, meetup with Leanbac around princess pool hall

Hahah I should've taken your offer when you asked me to take a seat. I didn't want to rip it even more. :unsure:

Not too sure what's going on on Sunday yet, but if weather is good, I might make an appearance.

Hrmm that's odd.. I didn't let the car go over 3.5krpms all night. I think it's an O2 sensor problem, I don't have one. hahaha. Seems to only blow smoke after I take off from a long cruise at constant speed.

sounded loud, so just kinda thought it was high rev's .

i'll message u sat night maybe. let me know if you decide to go...cruise up together if you end up deciding to go...?

yea i know how it feels, my car is blowing heaps of black smoke. but no money to tune or fix =[

Yeah, sorry about the smoke if it had stung your eyes or something. Someone was complaining about it hurting their eyes on a ns.com cruise a while back.

Having a quick look at the forecast for Sunday, it seems to be clear. I'm just not too sure if anything will pop up, but will let you know tomorrow night. Definitely cruise up if you're up for it. I don't live too far from the meet spot yesterday.

I think a simple installation of an O2 sensor in my manifolds will solve the issue. Well I'd hope it's an over fueling issue and not my rings. People have told me the smoke is black or white, but my oil drops at times.. :ninja:

Definitely need some light, maybe a day time cruise after the Bday meet up?

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • 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.
