A *paraprosdokian* is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part.

It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax . For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists -.

Examples are:-

• I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

• Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

• I want to die peacefully in my sleep, like my grandfather.. Not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car.

• Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car.

• The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But it's still on the list.

• Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

• If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

• We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

• War does not determine who is right - only who is left.

• Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

• Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

• The early bird might get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

• Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.

• To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

• If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining.

• A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

• If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.

• How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

• Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish?

• I thought I wanted a career; turns out I just wanted pay checks.

• A bank is a place that will lend you money, if you can prove that you don't need it.

• Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

• I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian.

• I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

• Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but still have to touch when you say the paint is wet?

• Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a bald head and a beer gut, and still think they are sexy.

• Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

• The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

• Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.

• Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were.

• Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with.

• I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.

• Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Does anyone know who to speak to about getting stuff from Japan, which aren't car parts?

After some items from Yamaha, and the only contact I have atm is in the UK. No one from yamaha AU seems to want to help / nor care to get a part for me (been told its discontinued, which it isnt)....Id like to avoid going through the UK to buy something from Japan if its possible someone has contacts...

cheers. :thumbsup:

Which one did you get ben? I love my new 5puk ceramic. Make sure you get the nismo slave and braided line, your left leg will thank you. I opted for the nismo bracket also but the standard one can easily be strengthened even further

I don't need that. I didn't go for a ceramic clutch. I'm doing under 300kw so Organic was my choice

-D

whether a clutch is ceramic or organic has nothing to do with pedal pressure

Well naturally it depends on clamping pressure (which the NPC is marginally heavier), however I have no problem with the feel of the clutch at the moment - if anything its always been rather lightweight, so I'm not about to spend money on stuff that can be done later, with the box in the car. If it becomes an issure, I can replace it at a later date without much hassle. I just don't see the need for it before I know how the new clutch feels.

I'd rather spend my money getting my dual synchro, 15,000km r33 s2 box installed, converted from pull to push, nismo reinforced pivot bolt etc etc

-D

If you can get more enjoyment out of your without spending extra coin, youre on the right track i guess

Thats my general thought... you don't need to drop the cars guts to replace the slave or fit a braided line or the reinforced pedal bracket... After this I need o2 sensors and another tune so its all about priorities

-D

Guts? What guts? Coin? Chyeahhhh righteo won't be seeing much left of that :laugh:

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
