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-

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
