Adding to the VicRoads rip off saga...

Just replaced spark plugs in car...it runs 63 times better...10,000km is too long for copper plugs in a modified car methinks. Though that interval was more out of procrastination.

The only reason I let mine stretch to 10,000km sometimes is because of the bloody RB crossover pipe and not wanting to scratch up my pretty valley cover paint if I don't remove it (+20 minutes) to the job.

I remember my old ford laser... Pop off the leads, unscrew plugs, screw new plugs in, cry because you drive a ford... Finished in 5 minutes

That awkward moment when your housemate receives a letter in the mail from the Australian Federal Police.

those guys hardly deal with misdemeanors or misunderstandings. I wonder if it also deals with Immigration issues, or would the Department Of Immigration just deal with it? maybe terrorism or illegal visa. hmmmmmmm *curious*

It's a 30 minute job that should be 10 minutes.

And working with old hoses and screws, I'm ultra careful about the way everything goes back.

I leave the valley cover off, so I can do 5 of 6 plugs without touching the pipe. But Nissan Y U put crossover pipe slightly too far over the 4th cylinder? If I had uni-joint sockets I could do it, but don't really like using those unless I have to.

Can't get started, Chemical Heart... Every time I get started, you pull me apart.

I ran BCPR7ES gapped to .9 and used to change every 20,000, even when changed they worked fine and looked 100%

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
