I'm not sure why you think Cam Gears is going to fix your car not wanting anymore timing, theres other issues at hand.

Also I told you don't get Z32's fagget jesussss.

I was wondering the same....

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...

dont bother man, go to a tyrepower and buy maxxis maz1.

must be the z1. not v1.

z1.

i paid about 150 a tyre for 18s... grippy as balls, best tyre you can get for 200 bucks and under, and better than a lot more expensive ones...

they wil be adorning my wrx when they run out.

just goggling them brings up this. if your gonna buy achilles whch are shite, get these.

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"

/win

lol gonna head to thewheeldeal on the way home and get something there those maxxis MA-Z1s are $205, can get some fresh Achilles for $115 review dont look so bad:

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
