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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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...

    • Not fine enough, only good as a pre filter. You need like a 10 micron. FWIW I run a 40 micron pre filter then before the rail, there's a 10 micron (maybe finer, can't remember).
    • OK, so. Look very closely at this. Here is a snip of the ECU diagram. Note that the VSS (Vehicle Speed Signal) input to the ECU is sent from the speedo head. The speed sensor on the gearbox (whether auto or manual) is connected to the speedo, and the speedo converts that AC voltage signal to a 0-5V DC PWM signal that the ECU reads. Pin 58 is NOT used by the ECU. It is used by the TCU. And unlike Duncan's thought on the matter, I would think that the only comparison done (by the TCU) would between trans output shaft speed and engine rpm. This so that the TCU can know whether the lockup converter is doing its thing, the clutches are managing shifts appropriately, etc etc. I would be willing to bet that the only speed signal you need to intercept with any speed cut defender, regardless of auto or manual transmission, would be the VSS into pin 29. That is the only speed signal available on a manual. And here is the rub. Your car is a manual. So why are we even having this conversation. There is NO speed signal input on pin 58 on your car right now and it runs just fine. That should tell you how important that pin is for your manual ECU.
    • well, here's hoping it is off to a good home, looks like the new owner got a steal
    • That's the last time I'll see the 180sx. It's off to Victoria do keep an eye out for it down there.
