My wife drives like a granny when its wet and cold. When its hot shes a differnt animal. Drives my cars harder and faster than i do, i think she shoulda been a pro driver with her dry skills. She said it steered staight on through the apex of the rounderbout and was headed towards a power pole. I think she done well to only go up the curb then spin it onto the grass. Bumper is toast, left rear wheel as a bit of curb rash and the undertray is cracked but all else looks gd. Drives straigh as per normal and hooks up under power like it should. Now its down to the wife to want to get in a drive it again otherwise it mite be ready for upgrades

Wow man just seen a 1989 skyline svd silhouette towing a box trailer at the bottle shop. Dead original. Burgundy and grey. George fury reconds it was a f***ing s**t box. I think it was a beautiful form of ugly!

Continental extreme contact sport. It's a competitor to the michellin pilot sport 4s but available In sizes smaller than 19" unlike the michellin.


I'm no longer a fan of continental, I had sport contact 3 on the Audi when I got it within 12000km they were so bad I couldn't slow down without abs kicking in the super sports were amazing, like new after 20000km!!

You'll love the pilot sport 4S then.

There's generally a $$ difference too, You pay a premium for the michellins. the reason they perform so consistently is because they are dual layer, you effectively have two different layers of tread compound so they can engineer the compound of the outer layer for when it has lots of tread and then the inner layer for when the tyre has less tread so you don't get as much drop off in performance. Basically every other brand tyre has that drop in performance as they wear out, it just is what it is.

That's excluding the fact the super sports aren't really a direct competitor for the sport contact 3, they have different intended markets, ones a sporty family sedan tyre and the others not far removed from a semi slick, the extreme contact is aimed at the super sport/pilot sport 4s market and as far as testing I have seen goes, performance is very similar but at 3/4 the price.

Air powered nail guns were great toys as a kid. A friend of dad's was doing an extension to his house and we would go over to visit (being early primary school students at the time) and have great fun nailing anything we could find laying about together. The bigger gun that did the 75mm nails had some decent kick to it.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
