agreed........

so i got rear ended by a drunken one eyed bogan in a commondoor on Torrens road last night while on my way across town to see ralf.

the dumb bastard decided he could do a runner........(in hind sight i shouldn't have chased him, but the heat of the moment kinda took me)

so i finally got him to pull over in what he said was his drive way (lies), preceded to tell me the damage wasnt his and that he didnt do any of it. and that he has no insurance and that i should just walk away and my lifes not worth it....really?? geebus.......frackin local bogans. needless to say i drove around the corner and called the Police. while on the phone to the popo he drove past again all over the shoppe.

The wife took the crappy ass wing off her R33, other than that its going well. the Hicas light has started coming on over 80kmh etc. also needs inner tie rods outter ball joint thingos and lock bar for the hicas or a driftworks eliminator kit so not sure which way we will go yet. not long ago got a mongoose alarm fitted by Chris Rogers and very happy with his work and the alarm:)

The Cressida finally has some work happening! getting an Emanage Ultimate and a genuine head gasket for the 1jz and started pulling parts off the motor getting ready to remove it to see why it pumping oil. also got some R33 calipers and BA falcon rotors for the brake upgrade ready to go.

I can't wait to drive a real car again instead of my hail damaged festiva which is doing well, just replaced a couple of bushes tonight

Sorry to hear about being rear ended Boiracer that sucks!

bloody bogan commos...

If people are keen, this thursday we are going down to carseldine @ 7:30. The morayfield grp will meet at the bp@7 and head down.

I got work at 8:45 so ill leave around 8:30

just picked the car up.. Only made 320hp which is a bit disappointing. Supposedly had a poor batch of fuel which didnt have enough timing in it.

Mind you upgrading from 240 to 320 is still a nice jump and car has a nice smooth power delivery to it.

HICAS eliminator kit adds to a nicer drive as well.

Will have dyno graph tomorrow as today is a Public Holiday for those brissie folk

yeah I know that feeling, where did you get it tuned?

In Brissie, not big on naming names....

Its more to do with the car than the tune i think

Not willing to name the tuner that is a bit odd...I am looking for a new tuner guess I will just do what everyone else does and take it to EFI.

Why's that Clint???? Just because Peter's not interested in tuning hand granades. What do you think EFI will do for you, that we haven't already done?????

Nothing wrong with a second opinion Brad, Sean did my last car and I wouldn't mind putting a Nistune in to see if the Power FC is the issue before I go spending another $1200 on tuning.

I get the SAU member discount down at EFI for a fit and Tune of the Nistune.

How is the car a hand grenade? I have taken Peter's advise at every turn he is the only person to work on it since purchase apart from an oil change and plugs I have done, just trying to eliminate potential issues 1 at a time.

If I had cash up my sleeve I would buy a Haltech but lets face it House trumps car, I am exploring options on what I can do and a Nistune that is $1k is cheaper while retaining factory R&R protection of the engine rather than retuning a potentially faulty Power FC and it playing up.

To rule the AFM out I will get it retuned wither with another Z32 AFM or the stock unit.

I have sent many of the local skyline owners Peter's way and have also recommended your work as well, I think that as a car owner I am entitled to look at what options are available to me based on my budget so at least I am aware of what is achievable.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
