Help Needed By Someone Not Terrified Of Spiders


Recommended Posts

Short story, big spider actually huge spider in/on car, car needed to get to mechanic tomorrow evening...and well I'm not getting into it in fact I'm not opening my garage door...so hoping someone not scared of them can help with its transportation to mechanic tomorrow...I could bomb it to my hearts content(but its too soon for def death before booking with mechanic), I am that scared of them I dont know if ill ever drive the thing again..not for the faint hearted as its bloody massive and could be anywhere by now.

Im in narre area and can follow with another car...any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

Dani

Where is your mechanic & what time does it need to be there?

I am in Pakenham & have the day off tomorrow... Gotta do some Xmas shopping, so I will be in/near Narre

I'm aracnaphobic and have had it happen to me several times. They seem to love my windscreen and then make their way inside the car through the front guard/door jam area, emerging right where I'm sitting :-)

Its that big I need a shot gun.

And like i said I could bomb it, but I honestly will not be comfortable driving it, and that means i have to get close to it..Im pathetic cant even look at spiders if I do, i have them all over me...those with the same fear understand...its horrible. I honestly have zero intentions of even going into the garage.

Iamhe77 I dont finish work till around 6pm its not due at mechanic until 7-7-30, mech is in oakleigh area.

ah-ha I have located someone not scared by the hairy pricks, ...much thanks to everyone...god help the poor bastards working on her when this baby decides to make an appearance...its as big as my hand....nightmares for a week I recon...

Cheers

too bad if it comes out whilst they are driving it...even those not normally worried I think will have issues with this one...esp if it landed and took up your whole lap area....ewwww farking things...I hate them..

couldnt be that big could it? I had a big hairy one that was about 7cm in diamiter spread out living in my car for 4 months. would crawl out of my engine bay and cross over my windscreen when im driving. Lucky for me I've got abit of a delayed reaction so I would notice it before it would register that is a big ass spider. My mate hated it and wouldn't get in my car which was all good cause he would drive instead..ha

You've nothing to be afraid of.

Random fact to allay fear..

The average human eats 8 spiders in their lifetime while asleep.

Some sources say up to 3 per year.

How many humans do spiders eat?

Did I help?

lol burn the garage...hahahaha thats a last resort, I did get a quote from a bugman $250...wtf, id rather burn the garage..haha

No seriously im saying massive...not so much its legs, but it had this huge ass body, granted I didnt hang around long enough to see it spread out...not the normal huntsman style, and no way was i investigating futher..I so should have taken a pic but i was shaking too bad to even call my boss to pick me up for work let alone take a picture!!! AS it was i had to crawl over the exterior of my car just to get out of my damn garage, quite obviously the spider had marked its territory on that side of my vehicle and the garage.

If im asleep and munching away on them...sweet if i happen to wake up mid way....I think id have a heart attack, and this thing was that big I'm sure it would amount to about 7 ppls quota.

Its that big I need a shot gun.

You found someone to do it? No worries.

Just thought I would offer (I used to suffer from arachnophobia myself).

Best of luck!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
