hi guy and girls

i have a idea to help make WA roads a more friendlier place and may change peoples peseptions of car enthusiasts.

why dont we just leave ower jumper leads and some tools in a bag in ower boots and if we see sombody with car problems why not help them out it should only take 5min for a jump and if its more than that well i guess thats too bad.

and after helping them out suggest to them to pay if forwed. jumper lead cost under $20 and at the same time show them how car enthusiasts are not that bad.

i though of this after seeing a mother in a car park that couldnt start her car and i just though that if i had some jumper leads i could have had her running in under 5 min and what would it cost me. nothing and would save her hr's and $$ if she had to call a tow truck.

the next step would be to get ppl to cary and USE UHF radios :action-smiley-069:

if i saw a milf in a carpark in need of a jump start i would'nt be jump startin her without some sort of 'repayment'

meh all that crap is just extra weight, if ur skylines just a daily then yeah maybe

I just carry RAC roadside assist phone # + my phone...

Last Sunday, near dogswamp KFC I saw some dude's Golf broke down in the car park & while he was contacting someone on the phone, his girlfriend was just siting inside the car with a "wtf... POS car" look on her face...

i have stopped and helped a few ppl, couple of skyliners and a couple old ladies, change a tyre what not, wouldnt stop and help a young man or anything like that,

and i dont no where u ppl get this idea that every one and cop persieves skyline drivers as hoons, i have never been pulled over unless doing something wrong, and have had cops behind me often

there has been a few hoon things on aca and tt and the majority of cars has been holdens, and minimal footage of skylines

in the last month i have jump started about 12 cars lol.

I work at a Servo and we get many people who have flat batteries. and i feel like i am the only one who has jumpers lol

I was helped by a lady once when my skyline battery went flat. She pushed the car for me and since then i try to help others.

I'm sorry, but you're seriously a little bitch.

I know, HMASR33GTSTs are heavy, but if it's too heavy for yourself to push the A-pillar before jumping in, couldnt you atleast HELP push ?

I pretty much always carry jumper leads in my car, I have helped out a couple of people with them and get a desperate call from mum every 6 weeks or so asking for a jumpstart (next car she gets I'm making sure has headlights that automatically turn themselves off). Also, hopefully if my battery ever goes flat I'll be able to find someone to help quite easily as it won't matter whether they have leads or not.

This makes me wonder, why don't all the cars come with this feature?

My mum's older (2002) Camry had this feature but my dad's newer (2006) didn't... I much rather prefer it had this feature than that sutpid annoy seat belt reminder light (I can't put my laptop bag on the passenager seat without having it going off).

haha yeah the old camry was good, it is annoying that with progress things get taken off I assume in the quest for cost cutting.

Like that stupid annoying beeping sound when you have your keys in the ignition and the door open, honestly with remote entry how could I lock my keys in the car anyway?

I carry a jumper pack in my car. You have no idea how much times ive used it. Its so handy. One of the best things ive bought.

+1 for the jumper pack... mines bailed me out of trouble least 5 times.. plus its also helped a few ppl out.. tho funny story when my skyline was off the road.. my other car got a flat battery and i was running late for an exam, got halfway there in a taxi before i remembered.. oh wait i own a jumper pack.. f*kker charged me 50$

i also help people when i can, in the hope it comes around, what if a copy of this thread was sent to TT or ACA so then they can see the real mantality behind our club? and realise were not all idiots? - probably a silly suggestion, i will shut up now

maybe if they got more facts before they pointed the finger? - having said that i seen ''green'' a p plater this morning thrashing his skyline..

TT/ACA don't need facts to crap out more of their hoon-related BS... they just pull some random footage from their a** & use it.

    • I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.
    • Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?
    • https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild. 
    • Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great. 
    • Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
