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.

I don't see this ever happening lol.

"INFLUENTIAL Liberal senator Cory Bernardi wants all learner drivers to be taught how to handle a motorbike as well — even if they don’t intend to ride one."

They should learn how to ride motorbikes. Much more road awareness created by learning those skills along with an appreciation for how fragile human beings are on the road, on a bike or in a car. Forgotten very easily in the daily routine activity of driving.

That isn't such a bad idea.

Same goes for trucks. Too many people cutting off trucks not realising that trucks take longer to brake.

I reckon it's the cause of this mornings accident in eastern freeway.

needs to be said.

we need to improve our driving test.

and stop parents teaching kids/getting hours in.

make mandatory lessons with a registered instructor law.

too many times i have seen learners sat in the right hand lane for 5km and they are not turning. etc etc etc.

the state of driving in this country is terrible.

im not saying the basic driving skill, im saying the ability to drive to the rules and conditions of the road.

tldr?

your a shit kent driver mate.

I went to kmart tyre and auto thinking i'd be able to get some cheap tyres for my car, (245/35/19) dude says the range upwards from $300 im like uw0tm8? I'm like how much for Nitto invos in that size if you can get them in? his like 337+ fitting each. I'm like uw0tm8 look up ebay on my phone in front of him and see 2 for $388.. think I'll just buy something online and get them fitted somewhere.. unless people actually know of a place where I can spend like $200 on half decent tyres fitted?

My usual place closed down.. I suppose I could just go to traction tyres but thought even they are rips these days?

I don't think I've ever seen a retail store stock any item cheaper than Internet. Not sure why you were surprised to find tyres cheaper online...

$200 for decent 19's? My 17's cost over $200 from retail stores...

On a semi-related note... you know you go to a tyre shop too often when they've got your car for several hours tracking down a puncture to repair and checking the rest of the rim in their tank to make sure there's no other leaks... Then you get them to swap the lock nuts on the rims to the standard nuts you supplied but they misread the work sheet and only did 4 nuts from each wheel... so the manager does it himself in the hot sun by hand.

Then he says "Oh don't even worry about it, no charge"

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
