but he will feel bad if you dont go and visit him in the hospital.....think about it.....mistakes happen from everybody, so you going and seeing him will at least put his mind to rest knowing that you do care for how he is doing.....you are being too harsh on yourself Cara....just chill and go and have a chat with your mate in hospital....would be good for the both of ya

i cant go see him.........ive told him why he messaged me before. i cant go there and know that its my fault for him being in the hospital.

oh my f*#king god i just scared the crap out of myself

was turning left to continue on victoria rd from the port so its more a sweeping bend that i normaly do in 3rd,

well not today.

i have a pizza cutter on my front right because my normal wheel needs new tyre, any way went to go around as i normaly do in the rightlane and i felt like i wasnt incontrol of my car i was doing maybe 35, cause the lights were green when i got there, anyway the wheel started screaching and the car felt like it wasnt turning properly and going towards the gutter on the right so i had to down change to 2nd and apply the break.

i didnt hit anything or spin out but shit my self compleatly forgot that it was on but is this normal

This is called understeer. Smaller width tire + taking corners at speed = fail

+1

i was sure the max reccommended speed on the space saver is 80kph - having driven with one on before though, they are very unsafe to drive with altogether. I'd get the tyre sorted quick smart if you need to continue driving Kellie

Those space savers are only supposed to be run to 40km/h and they are only intended to get you to a tyre repair shop to get your original tyre fixed, they aren't supposed to drive on them for extended periods.

or if ya killa and hav an s15 like i saw today on rosetta st.....slammed, a PAIR of space savers on the rear painted black.....thing couldnt even get traction on light acceleration. had a laugh when the traffic controllers at our job took his number :(

80km is correct

If the front wheel is screeching and not turning in properly, I'm not sure what it is other than understeer. Not once did I comment you didn't know how to drive, and I didn't say you were speeding; you could be doing the speed limit on the road but given the use of the space saver you aren't driving to the speed relative to the conditions (ie. piss weak tire)

the way you wrote it seems not nice = my responce

i had a falt on the front of my car once but i didnt want to run a space saver on the front so ran the rear rim on the front and the space saver on the back.

kellie, was the space saver on the outside corner of the car while going around the corner (ie, right hand side going around a right hand bend?)

if so, the weight of the car probably shifted onto the skinny tyer and gave you understeer at a low speed. its happened to me before lol

Hey, does anyone know anyone that would be interested in buying an R33GTR RB26DETT motor? Has just under 120,000km, had 100k service done at 100,000km with new water pump, belts, fluids etc. Runs perfectly and super strong.

Brother-in-law has come across a brand new R34GTR Nur engine filled with Tomei head bits at a good price, and is not sure what his existing engine is worth or how hard it would be to sell.

Anyone have a price range and demand for such a thing.

I have become a full time student and Centerlink wont helpout with Aus Study or Youth Allowance or even a Concession Card

Might I add, I also live out of home in my own place with bills to pay.

I'm just pissed off that I'm trying to make a huge change in my life with a new career, yet some derro flamin mongrel next door who smokes more weed then what should be humanly possible can sit at home and roach up everyday with taxpaers money!

Otherwise I wouldn't care as much about getting free money. I'm still looking for a night time job so i can continue full time studies and work at the same time but it's abit harder then I thought :s

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
