yarly ;)

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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
