lol im so tired im missing words

haha, aaron im gonna take my time bro. fix the body work and then go sick on the motor.

before anybody says "ohh its not worth it bla bla"

i know it isnt.

can i drop by and grab some chillies?

Ye if you want, I've got more here ATM than i'll be able to eat in the next 5 days.

I was doing to string them up, dry them out and turn them into chilli flakes.

Much better than the supermarket ones :D

But the plants are still going berzerk so i'll have more in a couple weeks

nah erman the The land of goat sphincter rings flamin mongrel took the pic from his fail phone

alright guys.

what colour should i paint this thing?

i wouldnt mind just redoing the stock silver as it really is a nice colour, but johno mentioned the KN6 purpley grey which is tits.... cant decide!

partial to millenium jade

Unfortunately not.

It was hot... But not UBER hot like i was expecting.

Will use 7-8 chilli's next time. That'll sort it out i reckon.

what do they look like? they are probably a derivative of birdseye's as they are the most commonly grown hot chilli. and can get fairly hot

the scoville scale is the rating of chilli heat, based on the actual capsicain (active ingredient) found in the chilli

now keep in mind that PURE capsicain (ie the hottest thing on earth) = 16,000,000 scoville units

from what's generally available in this country there are:

jalapeno: around 4,000 SCU - roughly the same as tobasco

Singlejalapeno.jpg

long red: ~50,000 SCU great to use as you can smash HEAPS into food to get the chilli flovour without going to the heat of birdseyes

birdseye:: ~100,000 SCU hot

scud chilli (green thai chilli - prik) ~ 300,000 SCU (once had a dish at work with 40 of these and i could actually feel my stomach burning for about 30 mins after ) these guys are seriously hot

prik_ki_nu_m.jpg

habanero: - 500,000 SCU - the hottest i can eat straight (not fun) - and the main ingerdient in the best mexican hot sauce available - el yukateco! these guys have the best flavour of all the chilli's available, if you can get past the heat they have an amazing floral property to them. kinda hard to describe though

caribbean_habanero_pepper.jpg

from serious specialists you can get:

bhut joloka (ghost chilli) ~ 1,000,000 SCU i have not eaten one yet... and doubt i could hande a straight one, but am assuming i could have one in food as i have had sauce made from these, (and it was terrible, not just the heat... the taste!) this was the worlds hottest chilli for years.

Bhut-Naga-Jolokia.jpg

and finally...

The TRINIDAD SCORPION (Butch T pepper) - 1,400,000 SCU: 3 times the heat of a habanero... no fkn thanks! the worlds hottest chilli... grown in Australia.

and FWIW polce issue capsicum spray is usually around 3,000,000...

on a scoville scale they are just babies man ;)

Nope not birdseye, stronger than that. They look more like the Scud :)

Although they are much darker green than those pictures and some of them actually come out really short/red off the same plant.

Some do come out light green though like the picture, they aren't all that hot to me... BUT... Usually they are really dark green and have much more of a kick. Only 6-7 on my scale so i can certainly go hotter and have done so before.

Love going to Schuzuan House etc and ordering the "3-chilli" items on the menus. People jaw drop when i eat it without issues lol.

Love the spicy foods myself. Sichuan Dining Room in Hawthorn have some nice dishes.

Highly recommend you try these, Ash:

From memory they have habanero and jolokia extracts in them, though the website claims that some ingredients used have up to 2,000,000 SCU (maybe they use trinidad scorpions?). The first is quite warm, a pleasant heat for spicy lovers. The second one, is hot enough that you can't really enjoy the flavour...so I'd be interested to see what you think of it. It's bearable but not enjoyable IMO. One of my idiot friends scratched his eye after eating it...was tearing up for half an hour.

yeah, they'd be scuds...

they change colour through red, green and nearly black during their life cycle

we had a dish at MoPho that had 3 scuds snapped in half tossed through a sour thai pork pork belly salad....

the look on people's faces when they hit one was always hillarious!

Will try give them a whirl over the next month or so then :thumbsup:

Sounds like its right down my alley!

Haha I could imagine. If you weren't a seasoned chilli eater that would certainly catch you off guard.

we grew a few chilli plants back home, they came out, green, then turned black. then red. was hottest when black.

they died though, grandma cbf anymore. the okra and red snake beans all died too. the bananas are surviving, but my fruits keep getting stolen

All this chilli talk. I only enjoy eating mild chilli. As it adds some spice and flavour. Any hotter and i just taste burn rather than enjoying the flavours lol

its actually the same for me, i tolerate spicey, i can eat szechuan food and handle it, 3 chillis and all, but i dont enjoy it. dont really see the point.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
