Yeah, my ex wife said something along those lines when she didn't want me to know where she was going!!

Oh well, so long as you give her a jump every so often, turn her over from time to time, keep her lubricated then get into her and give her a good going over regularly ... you should be ok .. :D

Put some fresh oil in the diff, and went for a cruise.

Very happy with my alignment. One thing i need to fix is a very slight drift to the left.

But it feels like a Ducati.

Ever ridden one? Man, they just drop into the corners and stick there.

The way they sort of suck you down and balance at the lowest point, feels soooo gooood..... now my 32 is a bit like that.

A little tweaking and it will be perfect.

I cleaned it after about 3 weeks ( haven't had time :( ) then took it for a drive, followed an old SS then he thought he was a Drift King... completely lost it, then found out that my brakes are not to great.... just pulled up in time! so after that fright I decided to go home ....

Scares the sht out of you doesnt it..... :laugh:

And thats why you drive with appropriate safety margins.

You know what i mean? Like enough room to stop or dodge, when sht goes wrong. And it will go wrong sooner or later.

Not just other cars, but you driving down a road vs the environment.

Its good when you can learn without paying for it. (crashed car or broken bones) :thumbsup:

I think it was the first time I didn't leave enough room, its always little mistakes that you pay for...

it would have been about half a metier between us when I finally stopped... thank god for the car behind me had better brakes! she would have wet herself, she looked pretty young, maybe around 17, I think she was more worried about hitting a skyline :P

At every service ... I always have brakes checked, fluids .. pads .. roters, ensure all is clean and working well, Mik is 110% right there is never a time you need them to 'just' work, you always need them to be perfect. Same goes for tyres, your brakes sorta need them to lend a hand when things don't go right .. :wacko:

Hahaha...

Brakes only need to work when you want to stop.

Tyres only need to be ok when you're stopping, going or turning.

Flat tyres are fine. After all, they're only flat on the bottom. :laugh:

but seriously, I thought my brakes were fine (but a little different feeling from time to time) <<---- this is wrong. :/

new fluid and they are very consistent now.

Also waiting for a snowfoam lance.

Santa brought a pressure washer and the lance should complete my growing detailing kit.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
