had first experience with electric power steering today.

granted it was in a hyundai Elantra.

but if this is the future, I'm buying old.

when changing lanes could feel cat's eyes through seat but nothing through wheel,

zero feedback, as in nothing, it was horrid.

there's strippers in sunshine/footscray????

not that I ahve ever gone but all the ones I knew had shut down years ago.

Sex cauldron?! i thought they shut that place down??

you can take an exhaust off a prelude and it sounds fast but doesnt mean its not gay as shit.

I'm ok,

there used to be a couple on old gelong road, but the signs are gone now, (Aimed at truckies so never went there)

the spotty was the dodgiest place in west for year but it gone to a gastro pub now.

went there a few times as a Girl I was hanging out with had ideas of being a stripper and wanted advice, never got into it as far as I know plus was walking distance from both our places.

no idea of any others and probally better for it.

the new tesla P85D also does 11 sec 1/4 mile runs..

kinda tempting, other than 100K prices

That's cool for an electric sedan, but then I remembered that Leigh's car does that for $55k and sounds good while doing it lol

4 doors for more....babies???

don;t get me wrong if it was 40K I would buy one, but for the price tag, M235i anyday

howev er this is only if a few years development, in a few more, these bastards toing to be wrecking everyone.

and next moment high speed chargers at ever track day!

Leigh is pulling 11's

damn

how close to being able to do a warranty claim if something breaks?

EDIT: went and looked at his sig, so yeah his modified sedan is just as fast as a stock electric car...woot

All he's done is an ecu remap, which is what the Tesla is doing with it's firmware updates

slight difference after market to factory tho (cost and warranty), plus wheels and tyres

that said I could buy a VL for 5K spend 10K pon it and go faster than either...does that make it a better car.

(opinions other than Mohs appreciated)

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
