I always like it when a mechanic notices that you've got an interest in cars and actually talks about what and why he changed something for... like shows you the inside of the screwed water pump, or the timing belt cracks etc :P

Also makes payment a lot nicer, knowing that work was actually completed... and WHY it took xxx hours

This.

I shall take a photo of my old timing belt lol it was cracked as fuark! Apparantly influenced leaks in cam seals so had that all fixed. *phew* Coil packs didn't need changing, already had spitfires, didn't even know! Changed HKS spark plugs to NGK's, hks one's were pretty worn tho. But yeah car just feels amazeballs, due for a reefton run. :D

Reefton Spur, I assume? Have been meaning to go for a ride/drive down that way, but haven't been able to yet. Actually haven't driven / ridden besides daily duties in a long time, lols. Give me a yell next time if you're going up :P

f**ks sake man....

related: I got done for that one about 10-12 years ago at like 4 am sat (was driving modded e30)

cop asked why I ran a red light, told him it was amber when I went through and it was safer to go through as there was no way I could have stopped (truth)

he gave me the fine and points anyway. $200 back then

Then he started to hassle me about what I was doing driving around at 4am in the docklands ( this is back when it was an industrial area)

Told him I was a DJ and off to a $200 per hour gig... dude lost it, I just got in my car and drove off... lulz were had

Dont think it would go that smoothly in 2013 though :no:

yeah we all know they're a bunch of wankers one day they're going to go too far with the wrong person and someones going to get shot or killed over modded car related issues.. my brother is PISSED atm

I kinda want something bad to happen to a stupid hwy patrol cop, they might re-think some of the stupid fines/defects then? I duno.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
