hehe, sounds dodge mate... i always check my odo before i drop my car off somewhere.. then forget what it was...

has any one ever had a similar thing with MSN. I went to a mates house and while I was using his MSN, mine came back online, however, it goes away after 30mins which means someone or something touched my computer while i was out.. hmm

Inasnt: Yeah - something like that. Don't think it was driven in reverse though :P

Snow: Bad luck runs in 3's or 4's or something. I think I've had my go for a while though. It's getting a little silly now...

Perhaps I noted the trip-meter incorrectly, perhaps I didn't.

I'll have a word to the parties involved and see what they say - just wanted to see if I could back up my suspicions with some evidence.

Thanks for your help :P

No dude, Where your own car is concerned, you are always correct. Don't doubt yourself. You didn't observe the trip meter incorrectly.

A return trip to the airport from your place in Sth Yarra would prolly add about 45kms to the dial so my guess is that you're apot on.

When you find the person responsible, I'll help you in "reminding' them that they aren't allowed to drive it.

Who do you think it was anyway?

Spoke to the people involved - an investigation is pending. They are checking the security tapes to see if the car was where it was supposed to be.

Nutshell - possible Ferris Bueller by valet at major chain establishment. Don't want to name names as I'm not 100% and have no proof (as yet).

Citylink records are not available until 24hrs after the trip - so can't check if it went down the freeway until tomorrow.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
