baaaaaaaaahahahahaha, i laugh so much because i know how you feel had that happen when getting my licences. i thought i was going to suck at the AMG challenge but i actually did quite well. generally silver first attempt (didn't bother trying again). the very first one i did i was just planning on passing it and not caring what i got. do the first run, get to the fast left hander over the crest before the right hand hairpin and finish line (the first section of the track) and i had a massive off, into the wall, across the road into the sand. get back on the road, about 50m from the finish, look at the time, has just ticked over the time for silver. so i had to do that one again knowing that i could easily get silver.

B-spec Lev.25 baby! :banana:

Easy street now- Much less button pressing required

Time to set Bob on getting me my X1 f**ken

easy street you say? i dont think so.. why would there be any less button pressing? and dont tell me your going to be a douche and put a le mans car or something into an endurance race full of stock jap street cars, wheres the fun in that?

the first endurance race only gets ur xp about halfway thru level 25 meaning you either do it again, or re-do the other races over and over and over..

There's not really to much fun in b-spec anyway. The drivers I have suck

I get so frustrated when my driver won't get up the inside into a corner, or struggle to overtake on the straights. I think the b-spec mode was way better in gt4 where you could just set the speed you wanted them to go but I guess there trying to make it a bit more technical in gt5

I tried B-spec the other day... first race and I put the prick in my mod'd R31... big mistake.

every fkn corner exiting crazy power oversteer but i'll give him a little credit... he didn't ever actually lose it, just came dead last :)

lol yeah, i've said it before and i'll say it again, the low-level b spec drivers are mentally retarded.

when we a-spec, we usually late brake into corners taking the inside and forcing the opponent out wide. the b-spec drivers do start making more heroic moves like this and pull way better times at higher levels, my best driver is level 24 atm and he's pretty awesome, although i can still get better times myself.

that's EXACTLY what I'm gunna do mahfugga. or should I say -am- doing; Bob and my Minolta should be just about finished taking the big stick to the competition for the 3rd time on the Grand Valley enduro

and you'll no doubt be pleased to hear I plan on using the most over-qualified car possible for every endurance race between now and nabbing that X1 :D

that's how I roll. oh yeah

my B-spec drivers are still retarded. they are only at around level 8. i had one in my lp560, in the french only race on the madrid track i think (one of the city tracks). by the first corner he was up to 3rd by the first corner. had some alfa and a (i think) lancia or something like that in front of him. was still in 3rd after the second lap. as you said, no taking the inside line, etc. on the straights half the time he was just ramming the rear of the car in front rather than pulling out to go round them. then if he did pull out he would only just have the nose of the car up to about the rear wheel then even though he would be on the inside line for the corner he'd brake early, then floor it quickly then brake again. then he ended up spinning out. he managed to get into the lead eventually, but the front bumper was barely still attached.

for the sports truck one at daytona i had an ford SVT and i had to fully modify it for the moron to be able to win. he was just too slow on the corners that was was last by the end of the first corner even with it semi modified.

can't remember if it has been posted in here or not (and too lazy to go looking), but this video shows how dumb the B spec drivers are. the b-spec driver has spun out and can't get going again

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
