Guitar...

Played in High School & Uni Band with songs ranging from oldies (to entertain the conservative teachers) to Bon Jovi & Metallicas in Uni... Had a Prince electric but left it back home and I think been sold since I have migrated here...

Now I only have 2 acoustics instruments:

- Ibanez acoustic guitar

- Samick acoustic bass (Greg Bennett styled)

Thread revived from the death...

Samick acoustic bass sold, can't really master a bass, just not for me...

still have the Ibanez acoustic despite I felt the action was a bit too high and hard to play in the first few frets due to the high action...

In addition I got an Epiphone arch top Emperor Joe Pass sig series... got this 2nd hand, still in good condition...

Unsure if it's fake or not... but at a price less than half retail it's too hard to resist...

PS: before anyone commented on the pink bedsheet. I do not have any 'macho' issue with pink colour, so ask yourself, do you?

plus it's on a spare bed in the study for any additional guest we may have staying over :-)

I think you do have an issue or you wouldn't have felt the need to mention it or justify it :blink:

I play zee guitar.

I got a Yamaha Acoustic and electric guitar.

Japanese made Fender Stratocaster and a BC Rich Warlock.

Peavey Studio Pro 112 Amp and a AXL Quadbox.

Next guitar, I want a Dime'O Flame (Dimebag / Pantera), which were made by Washburn then Dean Guitars.

If it is hard to get that then either a ESP / LTD / Jackson / Schecter (maybe).

played drums for about 8 years - pearl export, paste 2002 crash / splash / rippled hi-hats / ride / double kick.

lost intrest about 3 or 4 years ago and bought a guitar - schecter omen extreme - only play it every now and then just for something to do lol

I knew someone wouldn't be able to resist not to comment on that :-)

ha ha

I do have pink business shirt too...

been playing drums for about 9 years and have had a yamaha stage custom nouveau for a while. played on many kits but for me nothing beats a yamaha maple absolute which will be my next kit but the 33 is not helping me with my saving :) lol plus the $5000 price and the 4-6 month wait from japan is putting me off a tad.

^^practice amp? get a behringer. packed full of goodies and power for a nothing price.

I had like 4 drum lessons and i sucked!

I bought a peavey cherry red electric guitar and amp, only picked it up a couple of times due to the fact I had no time to play it so I sold it. it was so pretty though :)

and I learnt piano for years when I was younger, stil kicking myself i gave that up, seeing as i now have a piano and the only thing I can play on it is the ice cream man song. .

i play guitar...

i have 5 electrics at the moment with 2 more to come in the next 6 months!

- 1995 Epiphone Les Paul

- 1986 Fender Stratocater MIJ (hot rodded)

- 1996 Jackson Dinky Reverse

- 2005 Ibanez RG1527 (7 string w/ duncan blackouts)

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
