My last gf hated that I loved my car so much and that I rate it over commonwhores etc.

She also claimed I think everyone is trying to race me...

Sit in her car and she'd do 10-20k over the limit in her little hatchback.

Current squeeze likes the car and how fast it goes...

The re-shimmed diff... makes to much noise going slow and turning...

also she doesn't like that it's got a bit of power now... she's scared to drive it lol....

+1

and the,

"why do we have to have the music off and windows down? ..its cold"

while doing a mountain drive :P

completly agree with above reply ;)

*opens drivers window*....."its cold"...*backhand*

fixed :P

but yeh totally - silly girls :P

From starting out hating me and my car before we even met (she hates skylines and all associated with them) she's now dating the Vice President os SAU:NSW and has admitted to liking my car, but ONLY my car :banana:

Next step, she's already said she will buy me parts for it! :D

my gf was going to buy me Ray's wheel nuts the other day until she found out they were around $280 lol. Was impressed that she's learnt that much about imports to know the brand names and where to buy them lol.

Lol, you've trained her well!! :(

.... and +1 to the window down complain!

1. Twin plates too rough.

2. Too cold... windows are not allow to be down while she's in the car.

3. I'm having car sick because you accelerate too fast!

4. You letting the clutch go too fast !!!!!! (apparently she knows how to drive twin plates)

hahahaha, funny thread guys.

no complaints here except i dont let her drive it 1km up the road to work to park it under a tree filled with birds that crap on it.

so i drive her to work and tinker with the rine all day :D

Oh mine does HATE how she's not allowed to drive it, but I usually drive her Datsun 1200 everywhere lol, my reasoning being that since my gearbox is currently crunchy on 4th gear changes + heavy pedal, that I don't want any extra damage done to the gearbox lol.

She also hates the amount of time i spend on SAU with all my "internet mechanic loser poof buddies" :(

my magnificent wife complains about the minispool skip.....the fact i always seem to wear out the back tyres...on the good side...she bought me a T04e for valentines day...and entered in a competition which eventually won me a $5000 performance upgrade to my 31......thanks to triple m radio adelaide and D&T performance.....xmas just gone she bought me 4 litres of primer, 4 litres of clear and 4 litres of gunmetal grey metalflake with blue, green and copper pearl in it

lol Bakes man your car is teh sex!

i get the too stiff, too low, too much time spent working on it, more cash goes into car then her, too much time on SAU, hates me waving at other Line drivers she says "Not everyone that drives a Skyline is on your bloody forum". slaps my arm with any wheelspin in the wet no matter how small and accidental and hates that i always ask for parts for bday/christmas. she loves teh power though lol

I went on a date with a girl the other week and the only thing she hated about my car after driving it (she told me) was getting back into her Lancer muhahahaha :mrt:

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
