actually it will prob be less drinking, were topping more than a carton a night down here atm.

and plenty of gaming, ralf bought his PS3 and grabbed Skyrim, plus i been wowing it up on the laptop :P.

Trav has his PC here and been playing BF3....iots almost like a lan party at night....without the lan.

PS. sry i didnt call your back the other night clint, i saw the missed call just as i went to bed....and completely forgot until now.

so whose up for say a small gathering for a christmas party?

would love to, but im real busy before xmas. and already attending the SAU QLD xmas party / happy laps at lakeside. get in on that guys, it should be good :)

club members/partners are $25 a piece. non members are $50 a peice.

they were doing signup on the day at the Charity cruise and waiving the initial signup fee, which basically saves you most of it in one outting :)

My rims are toast. stupid teenager ran out in front of me as i came off the round about near the skate park, hit the anchors and went to swerve around him and the reward for not taking out the little waste of space: f**ked drivers side rims courtusey of a gutter (counter swing in the wet = gutter)

dude, not good, hope your ok.

should make the runt pay for the repairs, if not replacements

dam man, that sucks :( time for some big offset jap spec wideness??

or is it repairable?? you'd be suprised what you can fix

Replacing with 2 of the same only costing $480 for the pair so not too bad.

I am gonna keep the old ones for skid pan days.

which sensor do you speak of?? not sure which you mean

i think you'll find its the stop start that does that. 350 does seem a bit low, but 400-450 can be expected in crap traffic. i thought my car was starting to have some issues like this recently, as my girl has been driving to and fro Clonarrrf in it for work, and getting poor fuel economy in lame ass traffic..........45-50 mins for 35km's is just wrong.

but after running to the gold coast and back this weekend, with the A/C blasting the whole time, plus some to and fro in regular (almost the speed limit sometimes) traffic, im looking at an easy 500 km tank.

the wife is only driving from Narangba(forest ridge near the BP on oakey flat road) to just near chooks matilda which is on old gympie road in the narangba industrial area near the highway so the traffic she sees is well.. none.. except the traffic lights at narangba station

even on a good burn down the highway we have not got over 460 to a tank

we run shell V power if that makes a difference

I was thinking it may have been the coolant temp sensor I believe it is called, I have read a few of the bad fuel economy threads and they seem to say it is usually the o2 sensor.. a dirty AFM or the coolant sensor or a heavy right foot

the only other thing i can think of it being is a dead cat? as it is still running the stock standard exhaust system

and the AC doesn't work(needs a regas i guess)

Yeah could very well be that coolant temp sensor, It will leave a car in cold start mode which chews fuel like a mofo.

Alternatively it could also be your thermostat it has been known on rar occasions to remain mostly closed and as such it takes the car a long time to heat up all the collant and report back that the car isn't in cold start mode.

Update:

The highflow won't turn up if it is being delivered to your house (which im sure it is at your work.. hmm.) i think ill use it for a while longer:P

Well, it's a toss up, new pc or split dump pipe.. swtor rocks up in 2 weeks, so i need to make a decision ><

thanks randomhero,

its next on our list of parts to replace, as well as somthing that is causing the front suspension to clunk when we are reverseing and brake, and now somtimes when braking going forward, but the steering is un affected

already replaced the castor rods with adjustable option 1 garage items, so its not those

are ball joints DIY'able ?? where is best place to aquire them?? bursons/repco or ebay or other??

I am used to regular aussie cars(all my previous cars were ford fairlanes.. ZL(XF shape), NA (EA shape), AU.. where parts are easy as pie to get from the usual sources

all this import part shenanigans is new to me haha

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
