Yesterday someone had ( i assume ) stolen some silicon tubes and guns from some workers ute and proceeded to fill all the parked cars door handles and locks with silicon. Lucky mine was in the garage.

What is it with you and silicone? I'm starting to think you're doing a Tyler Durden... You're sleep walking and being the silicone bandit!

ha ha i just did my bmi, i would need to be 81kg to be 'healhy'....when i was playing rugby seriously i weighed 90kg and was 8% body fat. I cant actually get anywhere near being 80 with out being anorexic, BMI is the biggest joke ever

To weigh that much i would need to shit out my skeleton!

90 kg is pretty much the lightest i will ever be, if you go by body fat percentage 8% is too little so if i got back to 90kg i would be about 8% fat again so i would hate to see what it would be if i ever made 80kg! Right now i am in the healthy range (just) for body fat percentage but almost obese by BMI

Surprisingly no shitting from this food poisoning... Pure puking and like 7 or 8 times (lost count) and no food for 2days.

Maybe everyone else got heavier bones?

Oh and Yaface, that GTR looks ok the price is good and the R34 engine is a minor upgrade....but check the engine number in fast it way be any old RB26 just with R34 cam covers, also that colour sucks but thats a personal opinion and none of the standard R32 GTR colours are that interesting

Yes it is. I have to be under 80 to get into the 'healthy' range, which is just BS.

I think I fall into 'fat bastard' territory too :)

Don't we all?

How do you figure out your body fat %?

UPDATE: standard clutch is nearly toasted on the GTR, so ordering a new NPC clutch with Dan, i budgeted for s**t to happen but not s**t this expensive lol, oh the wonders of the skyline/GTR ownership, well hopefully shouldnt have to replace in quite a while, and im suprised standard one lasted about 80000Ks lol especially since i learnt driving manual in the GTR haha, if i had a car a few more days the clutch would have started slipping about 5mm of meat left on it, big thanks to Dan for going over the car and noticing it,

:'(

We have scales at home that send electrical current i think up your body and it measures the resistance, giving you a fat free mass %, water mass % and fat %. there is some old school way involving pinch tests but finding a electrinic scale is easier lol

does it hurt? :)

*hits up ebay

*sigh* Yeah... I guess so. Must be all the KFC :P

I blame colin, he made me double my nugget intake!

Adam get one like this...its awesome, and from NPC it did cost over $2000 though :) but that said it drives nicely on the street and i dont have to worry about launching as its the one Mark Jacobson uses!

Martin, no pain at all! It might not even be electrical current but you do have to shand on metal plates with no shoes on! we got ours from the good guys for like $100

hey bro, i would love to get the nismo twin plate, heard awesome things about them, but the sad truth is i have now spent nearly 7 grand on the car and thats not including the clutch, it hurts me because all i needed to spend was about 3 or max 4 grand, the rest was all things i wanted not things i needed, Dan recommended the heavy duty clutch from NPC, the one that replaces the stock clutch, he said it would be strong enough for upto 280awkw,i dont know if it will be able to handle launches etc

and im calling it quits for now, once this stuff is done, all im gona do is service it, ive spent way too much money on things that werent needed and that money could have been spent elsewhere,

-FML-

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
