My family has a lot of cars and projects and stuff.

As soon as the hoist is in I will be there every weekend; I miss my hoist so much.

if i owned my place, id so invest in a 2 post hoist.

so much easier than jacks and stands.

Takes 5 minutes to put a car up and that's me being OCD about the arm placement.

Work on car anytime ftw. Also handy for car storage as long as you have no leaks on the car above. Mates get you alcohol for letting them use it...crazy good.

Drove the skyline to a house on Stud Road, Knox last night,,,, was there from 10pm -> 2am... Came back and there wasn't a defect sticker on my car :D

Drove tp her house again this morning, went to breakfast, on the way back I saw a certain grey haired officer in his Yellow HWP car stopped at the lights about to go straight onto stud road when I was getting ready to to turn right onto Stud Road, in same direction as him... So I went straight instead and avoided him. Did a nice relaxing cruise around knox to Boronia instead. Then as I did my return lap I saw him sitting in the driveway of the Service Station on the corner of Stud and Burwood waiting for someone to come past... I was going the other direction at the time so zero fks given...

Got the whole "Whats the point in owning a car with illegal mods if you're going to get pulled over for driving it" speech from the girl I was with... but she's also someone who screams and yells at you on any sort of boost, so I'll just ignore everything she says...

should have replied with something like...

"what's the point of modifying your face with 25 types of makeup if you're still going to like a bag of smashed crabs afterwards?"

So much subtlety

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
