it cheeses me when manufacturers play with the gearbox ratios to get the quickest 0-100km/h times, and then lengthen the final gears for cruising.

similar to top gear shaming cars for being too bumpy on normal roads, but take pride in being the quickest round the track. you're really not supposed to be encouraging car makers to use more and more complicated and unreliable systems to tick as many boxes as possible, make warranties harder to claim due to repair costs and also ruin aftermarket support due to complexity and cost.

rant for the day.

that performance y34

I love driving my 7, just wish the previous owner had taken better care of it...

Interior is very sparse, some parts of it look plasticy and cheap, but when you get up close it's actually decent construction. The Climate Controls really make it look a lot more base-model than it is.

Torque when you put your foot down at 2000rpm in 4th is great compared to the skyline. Obviously it comes onto boost a lot faster, but you don't actually get to enjoy the turbo properly until you're in 3rd because of the short gears...

I'm running 255's all round, so grip is good even with the nangkangs on it atm... When it does wanna get loose on a corner, it feels really weird, but never really gets out of control... Still able to 4 wheel slide in the wet if I dump 2nd out of a corner... Last dyno figures were 175@awkw but they were from years ago so its probably a bit less now. Considering dropping it into RTR for a touch up tune and general health check.

Side Note: Because one of the salespeople here at work is whipped by his ugly as hell ranga wife, and the other guy we have in the factory is quite religious, they are both quite opposed to going to do an installation of the equipment we sell (Scent Branding, Air Pumpbox + Aroma Oil Diffusers) at a certain new customer of ours.

So... I'm off to a "Gallery" for "Men" on King Street to do this installation for them at Midday today... *sigh* Life is hard.

Just a tune and exhaust. 225awkw on the dyno

Stock is about 160-170awkw i think?

thats mad, full exhaust or just like dump/downpipe?

can you PM me what it cost ya / what year it is? (only if you don't mind :)) just interested as to how much it would cost me to change cars.

They do realize that it will probably have fk all women's there at that time?

I know right... Looks like they open the doors at Midday... Boss just called the salesguy and got him to man up and go, since he's in the bloody city today anyway...

back when we were a payment gateway one of our largest customers was adultshop.com.au..

they kept sending samples...

I tried SST on both cars. Both had same power (stock turbo, tuned to about 220awkw) and Ohlin's aftermarket coils.

I did find the SST to be slowish, even on its fastest setup, but I'm a dickhead who spent more on my R34 auto than most people spend on their engine. I was envious of the 6speed and could understand why someone would go the SST over a manual given how short the gears are.

Or at least how short they seemed to me, dat 4 speed life.

But I really liked the evo, punching out of roundabouts on WOT in 1st with the front pulling you out, then shifting into 2nd, and then 3rd to 100 in quick succession was really quite addictive.

Evo X is just.. its a good thing... you can use all its 'good points' on the street. Different to a 400rwkw skyline where you can't utilize its strengths at uh, legal scenarios so well.

Yup all useable power

I find in normal auto mode its a bit clunky. Manual changes in Sports mode feels fine and quick to me

Yup Evo's have supershort gear ratios. Could prob do 6th gear at 60km/h lol

I think i just got ling long 225 tyres on mine

thats mad, full exhaust or just like dump/downpipe?

Full exhaust im pretty sure

~$30k, 2008 year with about 50k on the odo

They do realize that it will probably have fk all women's there at that time?

Downstairs would be open but upstairs won't, prolly ~10 girls

Plenty of people with nothing better to do on a Thursday arvo and money to burn

Maybe they also don't realise that people who work in the sex industry are also just people?

Like, he's a work guy. Its not like they will be like OH IVE SEEN THIS IN PORN LETS ALL JUMP ON HIS COCK.

Like cmon.

It's so funny how its demonized, when 100% of people on earth got here through countless generations of people enjoying sex back until the dawn of time.

Imagine if people were embarrassed of the fact they eat food, or breathe.

That

Has an amazingly contradictory stigma to it. I know guys who have refused to ever walk into a strip club even for a bucks night...way to let society decide your most personal morals lol

What's wrong with that? You get a gearset that's good around town, competent for a lot of motorsports but isn't screaming it's head of at 4500rpm for 2 hours straight on the highway. Have been tossing up doing a similar sort of box for the RS. ALL of my gearing is stupid tall so it almost always feels like the wrong gear. STi boxes are super short everywhere which considering half my driving is highway is impractical. Late model stuff to run double cone synchros for those not so agricultural feels, nice tight 1-4 set then tallest 5th I can find. Perfect all rounder.

Maybe they also don't realise that people who work in the sex industry are also just people?

Sex on the whole in society actually

Can show people killing people and give it a PG rating, should be good for kids to see

Show a part of the body that half the world's population has and sees on the daily and it's R rated lol, can't let the kids see that

Gearing annoys me in the evo, slow speeds or up hills in peak hour blows... constantly in the wrong gear... in the skyline I could just stay in 2nd and roll along even when traffic varies its speed up and down by 20km/hr

    • 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).
