the general attitute of the locals.

DUe to working there for significant periods of time I got to know some.

they sit around with beers on a Friday discussing who F%$ded over the tourist the most as a joke.

only place I have been robbed

and then the hygiene, middle of town, watched lady carry baby into the street, hold it above the gutter so it could "go potty" then bring it back inside.

and the gourmet cooking:

So yes can live cheap, but a life I don;t want, where for less money I could be in Laos that was much better, or a little more gets you thailand.

my objective is to never go back.

Fair enough. We met a couple of local girls there and, in stark contrast, they took us around showing us their favourite food places and hangouts. We expected that in return we'd pay for their stuff, but they actually shouted us a couple of times. Wonderful girls.

Many locals are out to screw tourists, but it's all they know living in poverty and you'll find it anywhere in south east Asia in different forms...I don't really like it either, but I find it easy to ignore and enjoy bargaining them to bottom price. When they stop smiling you know you're there. In the end, as long as I'm paying what it's worth to me, I don't care if someone rips me off a bit. I actually saw one of the locals attack another (physically) for trying to rip off one of my travel companions, so some are against it too. Being robbed would suck though.

Loved the street food...it's all I ate and with my weak immune system I still didn't get sick.

The only real bad experience that stuck with me was a floating convenience store giving me less change than she was supposed to...then pushing her boat away from ours with an oar and floating away...so basically daylight robbery of 50 cents. It's the principle!

I would like to visit Laos, south Vietnam and Cambodia next time.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Most people have to get a little bit of snip snip happening to their reo's to make coolers fit... so choose carefully

lol @ a little

I remember taking 5-6 attempts at shaving off material to make it fit. My reo is now cosmetic. I don't believe the fkers who say they fit a fmic without chopping into something!

If all goes to plan, im getting my coilovers next week.

Has anyone got any negative feedback about shockworks ?

Used them in my old 33r before I sold them, had them adjusted to my liking, pretty good coil overs, they're surprisingly live able around town and highways, a mate managed to fall asleep in Hume on skinny 33 gtr seats, so I'd say it's pretty good. Never done track work with them though, the bloke I sold the R did few.

I love mine, they've really put a lot of hard work into tweaking them so the rates are perfect for each type of car and the type of performance you want. Mine are smoother than the old bilstein shocks and springs I used to have in it.

Give Aaron at Import Monster a call, he'll sort you out :) and tell him I sent you, I might get a wristy out of it

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
