Morning Mangs,

Cut off a police car this morning and did skids in front of them. They didn't pull me over :D

you are doing well. they would have locked me up..

Morning.

Bad start to the day. Raging headache when I wake up, no pain killers in appartment and then I drop the nut off my negative terminal clamp into my engine bay and it doesn't come out the other side.

At least the rain seems to have f**ked off :)

LOL.

The full story is this:

Was ~4 or 5 cars back at a T junction, waiting to turn right. This particular T junction has very poor visibility to the left (crest) and is a fairly busy road.

Was waiting there for quite some time, and there was a number of large gaps in the traffic that the front car did not take. I assumed it must be a useless P-Plater/L-Plater/Woman, and was starting to get p*ssed off.

Anyway then the guy jumps out and asks the guy behind him for a push. I got out to help too, as did one or two others. It was a VP commo or something, and as we pushed it away there was a MASSIVE puddle of oil under it (like, the whole sump worth). Nasty.

So then we go back to our cars and proceed on our merry way.

Now by this time, there is a MASSIVE line up of cars waiting to turn right, and we have all been waiting some time as well, so the gaps being taken were perhaps a bit more optimistic than usual...

Anyway I get to the front of a line, see a gap and go for it. As pull out, a cop car comes flying over the crest to the left, but I am already halfway out into the first lane so I am committed.

So what I do is give it a bit of juice in order to get a hurry on and try not to cut the copper off too much, right. But of course, my rear tyres are now coverred in the oil that had vacated the afforementioned VP commo's sump, resulting in instant traction loss despite only a little throttle tap.

The end result of this was a beautiful sideways entrance into the lane I wanted to be in, right in front of the cop car I was busy cutting off... I thought I was going to be in for trouble for sure.

Anyway maybe half a km down the road is the train crossing I mentioned before, which we had to sit and wait for about a million trains to go through. Cop car was right behind me for the whole time, and then a few kms after as well before going our seperate ways.

I can only assume they left me alone for one/more of the following reasons

1) I suspect they were speeding, and knew it. They came flying over that crest

2) They spotted the puddle of oil and matching tracks leading to my wheels, and the broken down commo on the side of the road, and managed to put 2+2 together.

3) Pintara factor/end of shift/etc.

4) Good kharma repayment for helping to push old mate's car ;)

5) I am a god. The evidence has been there too long to keep denying it...

drive into underground carpark a kippa ring shopping centre around 10am

drive into the corner where there are no cars (ie. no chance of cars parking next to me and denting my doors)

auto headlights come on due to it being dark under there... thus lighting up more stuff and improving visibility...

turn the corner into a space and there is a guy (about 30ish) with his pants down doing a shit in the carpark native style...

not only that he waves while touching it (the poo) with his other hand...

i hit reverse cause i thought he was about to fling it... and go the hell outta there...

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
