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.

yeah i know right? fmic next. once i install that intact reo i recently acquired.

And it'll go downhill from there.

Recently thought about getting inhectors, ecu and turbo...

While trying to save up for another gtr :/

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!

i'll be fitting an xr6 turbo cooler, they're fairly tiny.

and piping will be done by our resident scotty.

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

Artz one doesn't need reo cutting

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
