Was a decent smash on Punt Rd/High St last night. Was lying in bed and heard a massive bang, so I got up, jumped in my car and went to investigate. Looked like a cab ran through a red pinning a Daewoo against the traffic light pole. I heard the accident from nearly 2 blocks away.

lulz, page 404 of thread

Short story, it's R32 GT-R.

Long story, too many things that decide to work whenever it likes.

how is it that I've owned two 32 GTR's and neither (including one that was makin 380awkw on a big single) never had as many issues as you're making out to have? are you just being a princess and havin a whinge or you havin legit problems? If you are then STFU, sell it and buy something that's not gonna give you issues. I hear Corollas are teh reliable.

also, angry birds on PC and on Mac App store. FFFUUUU... there is no escape!

I have both legit problems and me being a f**king girl.

I have access to a Corolla with new motor cos my dad is lazy f**ker for not maintaining it properly and destroyed old motor (it is 2004 model BTW).

haha did you go for a drive in al's?

nigel was the old co-owner of ice performance from about 5 years, he had a 32R with a big external setup and the firewall was on fire, from the dump pipe heat

nah... just know what i want and al's dyno seems to be the most appropriate for me:

i want max response, snappy on/off throttle, ~300 rwkw, lss stress on the motor and power everywhere, through to 7k

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
