I'm having a pretty decent Friday apart from being über tired.

my day was facken busy as per usual lately. i wish to thank the lovely person who did our bbq today. great food.

now john is making me think i need to spend more $$ on my car.... and he is right of course.

benno if i knew you were drinking over the road i would have come over.

Anyone drive through the valley this morning around 10? and heard a bang?

that might have happend, Z28 Camaro ripping skids hit into the parked mazda 3 which pushed into the parked corolla, moving them forwards a long way. Driver of the camaro is only a tow truck driver who was ment to be delivering the car to its new owner...... :domokun:

Hey Dan, I will SMS you next time I am over there drinking. Had a great night. Sat around drinking Aperol, tonic and lime for a few hours then sat down to dinner with the owners or Tartufo and the owners of Montrachet for dinner which involved many bottles of wine and loads of scotch and cognac. Didn't stop drinking until 2am. Feeling a little seedy right now.

Regarding that Camaro, I hope the towie is drawn and quartered! I feel for the owner.

Morning Mangs

I am short a helmet and pads now, the rest i have slowly replaced! and since i get hit in the legs ALL the time I bought the epicest thigh pad set up ever lol

My helmet was about the only thing left of my old outdoor gear that was still usable!

And from my indoor gear, only the bat and box are any good for outdoor...

My tendency is more to get hit in the face, so I don't rock thigh pads :P

Just spend it you skirt.

That's what she said.

Aperol? Really? Freaking aperitifs, hate them all. For a lighter drink I'll take Hendricks Gin with Cucumber and soda in a long glass.

Hendricks is nice with cucumber but adding soda ruins it.

Seriously try an Aperol with tonic and fresh lime. I don't usually like most aperitifs but this concoction is very refreshing and because of all the tonic water it is a good way to start a long night of drinking due to the hydration properties :) I should be feeling like hell right now but instead I just feel tired.

that is ridiculous.

I am always paranoid of leaving my car at unknown workshops that some prick might be taking it out for a spin.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
