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.

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
