well i find vilification to be

2. vilification - a rude expression intended to offend or hurt;

and it was hardly satire

yes you raise valid points being a lot of people from within faith based religions

also we have had doctors, solicitors and Supreme court magistrates at the head of the family

Well no, it was satire, PURE satire as it were - I know you don't think its funny, and I might not either, however in my opinion, the comment was NOT intended to cause hurt, it was to cause amusement. The intent of the words are as important as the context.

Thats the very critique about satire - what one man finds funny, another may find offensive - however it is legally protected by our laws and as such, you must respect that over your own personal beliefs.

-D

yeah you are right, but Intent is one of those hard to prove things

and the comment was probably said in jest

so true,

see the thing with our current media based society, is that we're being pushed into knee jerk reactions...

thinking with our emotions rather than our minds... a person is mentally formidible, but a group of people are easily won over.... peer pressure at its worst... one can point to the NSDAP rallies to see what a crowd can do for a flawed argument

thing is, are we going to stay quiet for fear or offending someone, or are we actually going to step up to the plate and say what we think?

I might not agree with what other people say, I might get offended, upset, whatever, fact is if you proclaim to support free speech, you support it regardless of whether you agree with it or not, otherwise you're nothing but a hypocrite....

me, I love a good debate. mods have decreed im not allowed to conduct em publicly, so i encourage all master-debators to pm me directly for your amusement :)

Got some good news vs some bad news.

For those that know about the saga of my diff problems recently. Long story short. Bought the diff from Simon. Worked fine for a while, went to Kadina for the show etc and busted the diff while under normal operations. Pulled the diff out to sus out the actual problem. One of the half shafts was completely stripped, 5-10mm from the end. Took the diff to AM Performance. He sorted the diff out for me. Got it back to being working again with another half shaft, pulled the diff out of the housing to give it a clean and remove all metakl shavings.

After nutting it out for a while, we realised that the old diff, which was a Active LSD (very similar to the GTR) is a lot wider then the current diff housing (350mm vs 310mm) :( What seems to have happened is that it all fitted fine, but as the car was being driven under load the half shaft seems to have been pulled out and hence putting stress on the end of the half shaft which caused it to strip. So now I am just wondering if someone can give me the length of the 2 different half shafts. GTR and normal GTST. Is there any difference? These are the half shafts that go from the diff to the wheel/hub.

Any help is greatly appreciated :D

hey Krishy

Last power figure...287.2 rwkw at Boostworx after a retune with the new turbo

241 rwkw at Autosalon Adelaide 2010 on the GWW Dyno

246.6 rwkw on 14psi at Boostworx after a retune with new goodies on

You have more kw than my gtr :)

What turbo did you get? and what supporting mods? care to share?

I thought you did change the halfshafts when you changed the diff, cause thats what everyone was asking me but you said it was all changed :/

they were the half shafts that go in the diff. What I might be needing now is the halft shaft that bolts to the half shaft in the diff, makes sense??

PM sent mate :D

Started up the old girl today after a good wash, straight away noticed my power windows werent working and my front torque gauge was pointing up at the sky!! No tacho, temp or oil pressure, which was handy!

Needless to say it was a blown fuse but it struck me as odd that the elec. Windows blew out with the dash??

DOESNT IT WHAT!

I would seriously LOVE to own something like that ^

Matt you're welcome over anytime to pickup the heater core for Steve.

Its out front of the entrance way (front house gate) if I happen to be out for a while.

you wanna a PITA? got a 3day permit today to run-in the fresh 26 trackcar a little more, was out past Strathalbyn near Goolwa when I lost all brake pressure.

Got it home ok, nice and easy, to find the rear left metal brake line had been rubbing against the rim for sometime. $70 got me a new braided line from ABS morphett vale.

Fuel, rego, brake line fiasco turned into an expensive day for me :(

Also had the Bank on my case; bastards. Paying as much as I can onto the mortgage while I await the contract on the sale of the house to finalize; real hard paying 1100pm on a 1200pm pension! The bank is only owed a quarter of the contract sale price on the house but are acting as if its such a big deal. Ive let them know monthly how things are progressing since Febuary when the house was first advertised and I cant say theyve been all that accommodating. Wont ever borrow from the Comm.Bank again.

Finally - to all my wellwishers here on SAU I thank you. Been 3 weeks since Ive been off the Medication (Fentanyl, google it - very nasty stuff with disgusting side effects); can proudly say since Ive been med-free I havent had a depressive episode. I reckon the past 3yrs Ive been clinically insane; many of my decisions were on the basis that Id 'top myself soon' so what does it matter? Im so glad Im now over that period in my life, been a rough 4yrs since the patellas were removed. Im dealing with the pain OK without meds & am very much looking forward to my Uni.SA Medical Science studies next year, I just hope Ive got what it takes. Studied half of the anatomy text over the past 3 weeks and actually taking it in!! A month ago it was all gibberish but now my mind is clear Im just looking forward to studying for 4yrs towards a good, decent, moral profession in diagnostic imaging.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
