well i think u all need to have a teaspoon of cement and harden the f**k up hahaha...

its not that warm... nothing like abit of sweat! good for weight loss :yes:

yeah i agree with u Adrian "harden the f**k up"...haha

i had to ride my push bike 14km's to work today and will be the rest of the week until my gearbox is fixed

then again my dark skin is used to the heat and doesn't bother me at all

+1 i'm loving this weather! You guys all forget every year its like this, why don't you go live in tasmania if ya want to be cold all the time!!

^^^ I can't agree with that enough.

The amount of people I meet all day whingeing about the weather - this sort of weather is what Adelaide is all about.

So many people love winter - it makes me sick - give me 45 over 14 and raining any day of the year!

I am absolutely loving the current hot spell!

And no, before anyone asks, I wasn't in an a/c office at all today - I was out in the heat and in my black[/] Skyline (which did struggle a little bit with the heat when I was sitting around idling for 10 minutes at a time). The twin thermos do a great job, but I must admit were lacking a bit today. Nothing a quick squirt of water on the radiator didn't fix every now and then (I keep around 20l of water in the boot for such occasions).

Bring on more hot weather!!!!!

I agree with that as far, but gimmie 45degrees then rainy summers nights with the full summer thunderstorm

*sigh* i miss full on torrential rain

the kind that starts with a crash, speaks as a roar from an angry god, and the afterechoes and tears from the heavens continue to course through the earth

yeah. i want.

-D

Only another 6 days of it though (or so they say). Must admit nothing better than working on the car with the sweat running off you quicker than you can replace it!

And you know its bloody hot here when Roxby only got to 44 today!

^^^ I must admit I did love living on the 7th level of an inner city apartment building in the centre of Darwin for nearly a year around 2000 - sitting out on the balcony watching the storms roll in over the Timor Sea .... absolutely awesome light shows!

Then when the storm got closer running inside and battening down the 'hatches' (louvre windows) as the rain hit the windows at the back of the balcony half way up.

i dont mind the heat i was in the shed most of the day fixing the aircon fan under the dash on my son's vt . had half the dash out new fan put in place and the dash back together . was sweating like a stuck pig lol .

got to admit walking back into the aircon house felt good :-)

Beach is a good idea...however i don't want my car keys stolen...i don't trust them in a bag on the beach with me 50-100m away in the water. I sure as hell ain't walking there in this heat from my place. I have a temp sensor inside the house...35 degrees according to it.

lol drive the car on the beach near you. i do all the time just dont park too close to the sea or a rougue wave will ruin your day.. i hear them at night , big splashes all of the sudden.

and i love the wild life the heat brings out too. skimpy is good..lol

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
