um Im afraid this is going to be a long journey, this is why im studying an Arts degree not IT...

so how do you turn quotes on and off? cant see it in the buttons that can be clicked just above the speech bubble.

sniff.

or is the opening quote bracket turning it on and the slashy thing post text turning it off?

and its not in wasteland eps though boobs would probably get it moved there, im also backing away slowly from that direction (as much as i love boobs ive already been banned once for nipples being visible in one post...i like to learn the hard way).

another try..

compare that to your mistake :)

sigh..wait..what? wow i did it! YAAAYAYAY f**king YIPEE KI AAYE MOTHERf**kER!!

(loud panting)

breathe in..breathe out. all i had to freaking do was hit the insert button and type in between the damn things.

hey count yourself lucky your not banned, i didnt get no warning last time.

can see points for both sides re your flaming of a certain importer but im in principle for a fair and free exchange of ideas so even potentially wrong and scurrilous claims such as yours would either stand or fall depending on the judgement of your peers.

the excising of it all seems a little random and PC for a forum that otherwise seems quite robust.

anyway off to drive to Goulburn now to enjoy a track day, should put things in perspective..

actually that is what just happened. goodbye stealthassassin, enjoy your holiday. When you are back follow the forum rules or you will be permanently banned

one of the reasons SAU has survived for so long is that we don't allow negative posts about businesses (do it via PM if you want to), thereby avoiding most legal claims against the forum owner. even with this rule Christian has legal action taken against him regularly from businesses who feel they have been unfairly attacked.

nawwww, all my posts dissapeared :( Even the good, praising ones. I can understand the posts outing the knobhead being removed, but the ones where I praised J-spec and Iron Chef? They both deserve it.

But the cars Kristian has listed are more then likely cars from his main supplier not cars cut and pasted from various dealers via Trade Car View.

aww snap.

i watched that mightcar mods vid sponsored by JTB and now want to buy one over there and drive it around japan for a while first (week or so) before getting it shipped home.

Some amazing roads over there and if your getting the car there u might as well drive on some of em first i reckon, jetstar make it affordable enough to do i think.

heard the tolls are exxy over there but hey if i saved for a bit, planning it for 2012.

will probably still use iron chef or someone for the connections to auctions over there.

anyway in the mightymod vid there was a new ish FD for 300 bucks?! how does that work?

I've never seen an FD for 300 AUD in japan or anywhere else. even as scrap they are worth more. are you sure it was 300 AUD? not 300,000JPY? and what do you mean by new-ish? even the 'newest' FD is 10 years old and the early ones are another 9 years older than that...

well it was the last design that was out, they really are that old huh?

I guess a classic design is, well, classic.

their words were 300 bucks i will find the video and time when its mentioned...

30mins10 secs for the quote. odd as later on they are at a car yard and they are at more realistic prices, 5-10k etc.

crap, he really did say $300 bucks and reiterated the point that it $300 and not $3000 AUD

still don't believe though... even a rolling shell would cost much more i would think

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      By uchoa · Posted

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
