I'm thinking it's time for semi's on the street, t1r's are struggling, i'm guessing the ku36's are so cheap because there shit?

i use them. i love them. great tyre, havent let me down yet. sure theyre not in the same league as r888's, but for a 3rd of the price, what have you got to lose?

To all concerned,

Haven't been on here much for good reason ... I've been knocked off my feet for the last week with a nasty flu. I've got a few PMs to attend to, I am aware of. I'm improving and hope to get to your enquiries tonight. Thanks for your patience.

Dale, thanks for your PM reply. I'll call you today ... now I have my voice back!

The life of Dan (a blatant stolen method of posting from ruby)

Home builders took over 6months to put a slab down, government are not going to pay the full grant. Im standing to lose 10k, bomestead domes are claiming they are not liable for the shortfall and it is up to me to pay this difference, along with interest for the amount of time it has not been paid.

They also trying to get me to pay 1600 for a tree chopping I didnt authorise them to cut

Fun times, currently have a house in the ghetto complete waiting to be attacked n crap stolen off it that im liable for.

possible law suit to follow

hey i aint that broke,

legally id say they will be going down. its just the issue of how long it will take to sort that out and how long will this house sit empty in the slums.

the tree issue theres no way there getting anywhere with that, no invoice no pay, no authorisation no pay

:P

oh f**k did i lol! :D

ugh, that pic made me forget what i was gonna post. remembered now. :O

was having a chat to a friend of mine about an hour ago. shes been looking at buying a new car for a while now, her only criteria are it has to look good, and be pretty easy on fuel.

after she had a chat to her bf last night (hes one of those types that "knows everything" about cars, but barely knows how to take a wheel off) shes decided on an rx8. i tell while an rx8 does satisfy the looking good condition (lets face it, mazda rotory's have always been housed in very attractive cars), its no where near being easy on fuel.

her reply to this was her boyfriend said "nah, its only a 1.3 2 cylinder engine, it'll be great on fuel." and now despite my advice, shes convinced that the '8 will be good on fuel...

... so if anyones been thinking about buying an rx8, i might know one that'll be for going cheap soon. :(

it dosnt have cylinders, her argument is invalid. maybe her bf will suggest she get forged pistons in it?

however i think they look pretty decent :O

she should prob look at something like a toyota silycar, honda integra dc 5s are also nice, mx5's no?

Tell her that it is a 2 storke engine (Even though it doesn't have any strokes), so in effect it'll use twice the fuel that a regular 1.3 litre 4 stroke engine does. It's also why they are rated at 2.6 litres when compaired to piston egines and why they make so much power from 1.3 litres.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
