He hasn't been back at my place since, and haven't heard anything, so am hoping that's the end of the matter.

thats the going rate. I will have one here tomorrow night if you do no good there. Mint. (hate that word)

My guess would be a light automotive course. Seems like every new apprentice we get these days is a knuckle dragger too lazy to do a decent days work

Ok so i went to my local tyre shop this arvo. Question to y'all does anyone want new rims?

I can get 2 sets:

Work Meister S1

18x8 +35 / 18x10 +22

Polish Silver Finish 2 peice

Offers around $2500-$3000

Work Emotion XD9

18x9 +30 / 18x10 +22

Magnesium Finish

Offers around $1500 - $2000

They are brand new in box never had tyres fitted, all 5x114.3 and all legit. If you want them PM me and i'll put you in touch with them

Far out those XD9's are cheap. Tempting.

make an offer miso, he wants them gone.

If i had a complete 5 stud conversion ready for my 31 i would be buying those Meisters.

got it in one >_<

This is a new one :S

fitted 20mm spacers (very good quality ones from japan) and long wheel studs for the spacers to eliminate the bolt on studs.
So you are using bolt-on spacers as slip-ons?
they are bolt on, i have removed the bolt on bolts to allow the long wheel studs to go through instead, plus i heard that is a lot safer
lol thats not safer at all
i got told it was safer by a wheel shop to run spacers like this, so there is less stress on the indside wheel studs on the spacers. they advised me that they wont snap like this.
The wheel shop in question must be a bunch of incompetent twats.

Final quote was me >_<

quoting is where its at col.....

although i hear its better to only run 2 studs with spacers to reduce the stress...

geoff you know you want to buy sweet rims...

Sweet rims indeed. But no, not interested today, sorry. I'm happy with the ones I've got (not got the spare cash and theres more important things to do to mine first anyhow).

John's day at school

I went to an Epson training day a few weeks ago which pretty much entailed of me doing everything really really quickly so I could get the f**k out of there before someone would ask me where I work and then proceed to tell me how much better their job is than mine for the eleventy millionth time.

On a side note, checked all the hoses tonight on the skyrice, I didn't have enough light but I could hear a slight psssss sound, so I'm going to replace the hoses from the boost controller + bov.

Oh, and John if the series 1 afm pwnd had will work on a series 2, I'll come and pick it up from you on friday or saturday if that's cool.

Tell Andrew that if he wants someone who actually wants to do the work, and actually wants to learn, that I'll still come work for him. The course is done in 4 weeks :(

PSSSSSSS noises aren't good in.... See if you can get a leak tester :D

As far as I'm aware - series 1 is green, series 2 is pink. I only say this because when I was looking for one I got told a green label from a series 1 25 would work on my 20. *shrug* Best bet is if Miso can bring it along, I'll just grab it and we'll try and see what happens.

Jason has some spare coil packs for a 25 now that I think of it. Maybe he'll let you borrow them to trouble shoot further if the AFM isn't the problem. You'll have to ask reallll nice like though :(

Noel, your car is Mint.

@John: Lol

Alvin ROOLZ

I can do better in the wheel department.

Howbout a set of brand new nismo lmgt4's in 9.5x18. +30 offset with new tyres for 3500....or...Da bomb...Volk GTC's in black with chrome lip gtr offset +12 9x18 with feddy semis 50% tread mint for 3 kay.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
