:D was good!

Hows your day been?

Had a mate I never see drop his car off for a service and hang out with me for the day.

Counter meal and few beers. Then beer at my place.

About to go out for dinner for my dad's birthday :)

No call from c-red so no info yet. Asked if i coyld be there for the dyno run but the guys said sorry :(. Mate of mine said usually reason they dont like people there watching as usually have issues or probs and they just wana get the job done, which is understandable

I actually popped in to see if you were at C-red today around 3pm, wanted to snoop. Your car wasn't in the car park, thought you had left. At least you know it was inside so they were probably working on it. Nice silver R33 outside though.

I've been in the dyno room both times at Allstar. He didn't seem to mind at all. Actually called me in the second time

I had the same at Allstar, happy for me to watch. I wasn't there when they did the Cossie at Rotos though.

Morning all!, Tomorrow is the big day.

Any advice you could give me for the inspection?, KYP told me I should quickly spray down my engine bay (its fairly clean), just to make the mechanic happy.

Not much, just be polite with them even if they are dicks. And if the car is clean they will less likely look around for leaks etc. Just take a deep breathe when they take it for a drive. The asshole that did my inspection gave it the boot. Was pretty annoyed at him.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
