I usually only go out once a week, and when I do I budget $50 max. Predrinks ftw.

And Kris isn't at 300kw either :P But I just say 250+ = 300 club :)

Seems pretty easy to hit around 320rwkw in an MR2. Everyone has been doing it lately.

Well considering I'd need a forged rebuild too it's probably a bit out of my price range right now but if I waited a little while then I could afford it.

We'll see how it goes.. I might decide to record another album which means bye bye money :P

i'm all for being a brand slut... but 6k is excessive. You could get Armani et al for a fraction of that

lol @ armani watch. way to fag it up. If you're gonna wear an armani watch you might as well go ahead and buy a Swatch watch.

I've got a IWC I bought with my first company bonus (bought it off the CEO :P) and a Patek Phillipe my dad gave me. In the watch world Cartier is kinda mainstream, cos they started out as a jeweler and not a watchmaker. I don't wanna keep wearing a 10k IWC everyday, so the Cartier is to take over casual duties.

when you're working in teh corporate world a good watch says more about you than you can ever hope to get across in a conversation, and can be the difference between sealing a deal or a promotion or calling the shots in a negotiation and slumming it. Its an investment in your career and social life, and doesn't depreciate as much as a car, nor get you labeled as a hoon etc. Hell if you buy the right watch it'll even go up in value.

I don't need to buy it, but I'm gettin in while the exchange rate is good cos I stand to save about $4000. More if I can convince one of the publicists to pick it up and wear it on the way back, so I save on taxes.

i don't know shit about watches. i am sceptical of the extent of influence they have in 'teh corporate world' though.

i just look at the sun to determine the time, like a boss.

EDIT: If it's such a bargain, do it. Crafty work getting some watch mule to wear it on the way back haha

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
