Yeah me, the car infront and the car behind was just driving nice and smoothly... turned around a corner and was like HOLY SHIT *SLAMS ON BRAKES* saw the car infront inching to the right to avoid the car infront, me inching to the left and the car behind was just about the same....

pistol-pete, was that you with the little domo hanging from the rear of your car? If so your car sounds f**kin' nuts!! :D think it was you that pulled out behind me at the round about on montacute road then turned right down a side street?... Were cars locking it up all over the place last night, new brake pads FTW!

The dude in the silvia was apparently being a tool, hense why he flipped.

How did all of this happen anyway? I could be completely wrong but it sounds like this was a free for all!?! It just seems stupid to me. If we all drove our cars the way we want to on public roads we'd be dead. Simple. No disrespect to anyone but hopefully nobody got seriously injured ay?

to be fair, i saw none of the supposed "hooning" from where i was.

i think inexperience driver + peer pressure from being on a big cruise with 3 people in his car wouldve been a big factor in him trying to drive beyond his limits.

having said that, we werent going fast at all so not really sure how he managed to flip it.

I wasn't pointing blame at anyone pete, it's not my place anyway mate. I just think it's a kick in the shins ya know? Not really fair on other road users in my opinion.

i wasnt saying you were matty, didnt mean to come across that way. i just meant from my position on the cruise, it seemed quite well behaved (apart from the crash obviously)

anyway im happy i dont daily my gtr anymore. cant wait for sapol's backlash down.gif

A good turn out last night...

I was lucky to b in the front pack there and on the return..

I was following a Grey r33 gtr who knew his way and the ability to drive his pride and joy in a safe manner. If not for his loud exhaust it would have been 7 cars in stealth mode thru the hills.

On the return everyone decided to follow me but not knowing the route I pulled to the side and let a few past. Once back in the pack I was behind a silver gtst( I think ) who definitely knew the way with plenty of indicator use, drove very well to the conditions with a nice light show from the exhaust. At the next stop a lovely girl came up apologising if her exhaust had caused any damage to my front bar....i couldnt see no damaged and I praised her on her skills. Its good to see women who can drive the beast..

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
