yeh mr spencer wat are you whinging about if you pay 1200 a week in tax you must be pulling in around 1600 a week in the hand!

anyways mine is going straight on to my ge creditline for my new wheels i got, 12 months interest free.

as much as i would love to use towards a set of coilovers, i really have to pay some debt off first haha

Big Kev the second is paying for my Power-FC re-tune for my RS4s as at the SAU-Vic dyno day my peak power was only 110awkw at 4000rpm and the power went down from there?

Damn, that's pretty piss-poor, I managed to drag up 126awkw on my stocker just after I bought it...

might buy some whiteline swaybars and get a tune :)

Good luck with that, I'm having trouble getting Whiteline to admit thay have made an adjustable HD bar for the GT-R...

But back OT, when I get my moolah next month, it will help pay for things I've already bought! :down:

might get a few items from the whiteline catalog, or nistune setup, or put it towards a new tig welder (hello custom IC/intake piping). either way i'm happy, i love getting something for nothing :down:

Trust me, we will be paying it back with interest in the long run!

... and here I was thinking that we have already paid for it with interest over the past 13 years...

... I still think that 1 initial payment to "the people" and then tax cuts would have helped our economy in the long run.

I know I would be happier to spend if I had an extra $50-100 per week in my pocket than a $900 lump sum.

Back On Topic;

Looks like I will be putting the money in to help with the house deposit (the land is ours already :down: )

Agreed tax cuts would of been a beter option, i guess that would of taken to long to filter through where as the lump sum is almost instant.

I should really be getting stuff for the house were building now, but meh i need the car fixed to.

Already bought myself a MSI Wind netbook ($600). The M35 is due for a big-ish service soon too so the rest will go towards that - have some small issues to fix up on the car - just minor stuff mostly.

I was going to use mine towards a new front bumper, hks split dump and maybe get a new Greddy intercooler.. but decided to use it to upgrade my current PC and use my current parts to build another server for my house.. so car's going to have to wait for tax time..

Maybe you should get an iPod 'cause your wife is going to be talking about the Dyson in very excited tones for a while.

Can't go past a Honda mower... VTEC? :D

A mate at work bought a Bogan Tv. It lasted 2 days. Has been 4 weeks waiting for it to be fixed.

I picked up a 50" Panasonic full HD yesterday. :blink:

Great picture

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
