time to quit work, set up a shed and go full time...

this shits real...

what tidying things up and reselling them?

what tidying things up and reselling them?

yeah sort of, more of a restoration project.

started with 2 bikes the same with the ambition of having one good one and the other as a parts/scrap bike.

but ended up finding enough bits via ebay & other online sales in Europe to make both return to former glory.

sold them both for double what they cost me, so it was pretty profitable.

but money made is better discussed over coffee between gentlemen & not online ;)

im only dreaming about doing it full time, i think 4-5 hours a week is considered a hobby.

I think if I did more than that it would be less about the fun i have doing it and more about paying bills.

Morning Mangs,

Monday :(

Happy Laps yesterday was a great success. Much more fun weaving through traffic than being in open air, or in an XF, which was my last two happy laps sessions.

It was fun. i wasnt doing the weaving tho as i was being weaved past on numerous occasions! But that didnt bother me as it was awesome. Was fun going down the front straight with the sun blearing in your eyes at 180kph and not seeing anything in front.

I agree. Its good practice for future reference eh Smitz. :thumbsup:

Car is having weired electrical problems today...

In other news, seeing as how I don't have anything better to do this week, who wants to go whale watching at some point in time?

I'd be keen, any day.

I'll swing by around 3pm. Is that fine? Later/earlier isn't an issue either so let me know what's best for you.

done and noted.

Did some investigating today, looks like the loom under my drivers side front guard is 100% cactus, even after the repairs to it that Dan did for me. Looks like I found the cause of my electrical issues :(

What does the loom do? I though most of the time the ones in the guards were to do with headlights and indicators.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
