Color suits the car well, that's for sure! Will yours have color matched bumpers though? Or that 90's spec grey? ...are those a pillars black? And... are they led running lights?

attention scott and colin, i won't be able to make it tomorrow night, i actually have an important meeting that i need to attend. I will organise pick up and payments later.

Scott if your in the valley tomorrow give me a bell, i pm'd you my number in faceparty

So... what's the weirdest thing people have found in a car they're doing a service on?

Today I found a dinner plate in a Barina. Just one plate. In the passenger footwell...

I've been having the worst farkin week. I read this and I lol'd like never before.

SAU can cheer a negro up.

But OT, when I was looking at XR6T's, I looked at one at a Fraud dealership, opened the bonnet and had a bit of a look around for leaks etc, when I saw my reflection down the side of the manifold with "Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear" some muppet had left a mirror in the engine bay when they were getting the engine no. Needless to say I didn't buy that car.

Sarp Mangs. Shit day is shit.

Apparently Godzilla and Heat Treatments are running at the test n tune at Willowbank on Friday night. Anyone keen to go see some 7 sec passes?

If it's a test and tune night it's free for spectators. You'll see cars running anywhere from 8 second passes to 18 second passes. All kinds of shit will be there running all kinds of times.

John, what was that tyre from? Has to be a truck of some kind... clearly?

My skyline passed it's road worthy inspection... have 2 people interested to come look over the weekend. I'm sad/happy. pinch.gif

I meant what time does it start and what time does it finish. But 8 second passes would be nice to see.

Some quick digging says that there's a top fuel drags on on friday, not a test and tune. And also that its 20 bucks for spectators at test and tunes aswell.

It wasn't on anything, just sitting there. The 155/55/R13s next to it looked like doughnuts!!

Last time I went to a test and tune it was free for me to be a spectator. Maybe they are charging because the top fuel is on later?

8 second passes are fun to watch, I was more impressed by some of the real POS looking cars running 10-11 however. Also, the old Corolla with a 20C rotor in it made me happy in my pants ;)

I was gonna say... test and tunes have never been free to watch...

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
