It's very simple borci...

Pick a random person - see who can find more info about them - you using census (you have to hack it first) or I using social media kgo

Understand yet?


Bruh I literally don't understand your thinking here... this is just ANOTHER place where MORE of your information is stored. But here you are saying Social Media is even easier to open a credit card in someone elses name. Great... but how about you minimize the risk on your social media AND minimize the risk with the ABS. Giving them all my info is not something I'm interested in doing. 

If you go back to my original point - that there are so many tinfoils worrying about the information they give to census, meanwhile many of them ignorantly give plenty of exposure to their private lives and identities on social media - it makes sense. All I'm saying is, if you are the type to worry about your info being in someone else's hands...there's more to worry about with social media than census. I will put any amount of money on it that more identities have been compromised through these channels than the ABS in Australia, and that's just identity theft, let alone the other risks of social media exposure.

Why are all you faggits arguing about a piece of paper I threw in the bin before taking it out of it's envelope?

That's more of a wallet burner than 88E

You know that doesn't even come close to my 88E losses.

"But he also urged people not to spoil their Census forms by giving false information, no matter how frustrated they were."

Translation: No matter how wrong you think it is, just bend over and take it. Politics summed up in one sentence.

  • Like 1

so, what do i fill out under religion?
since noone in my family is really a practicing muslim...

also-
options- sell bmw, buy shitbox daily and use the bmw money for an intense holiday around xmas time as well
buy GTR


one of these will result with me laying in my bed crying myself to sleep, so im leaning towards holiday

i think religion is the only optional section of the census.

intense holiday? you went to Japan not that long ago. you going to US soon (not for very long).

pour money into the fourdoor and get a reputable workshop who will sort it for you, and dont go all tightassed or car will not get sorted properly. then you can stop crying yourself to lseep every night and be proud of the car you have.

yes. what is this? a car forum or something?

If anyone has any advice on buying new bed + mattress, lemme know. looking this weekend and no idea what im doing. Bed frames seem over priced for what they are (what furniture isnt), so considering looking to see if theres anything near-new being flogged off by someone.

Back half has HKS cast in it

Front has garret m24 cast in

Wtf?

I cant read the small plate just says garret japan in the top corner

HKS turbos are for most part rebranded Garrets with stronger actuators

Ite certainly not stock though. Check if Nissan is on the comp cover. Could also pull off your intake piping and gaze at the compressor wheel.

Bed frame means buggerall as most use shitty slats anyway

Spend up big on a mattress. Granted, a mattress salesman told me this, but it's no less true: you spend around 1/3 of your life in bed and most people spend more on their car. Not saying you can't get a decent mattress for a grand or less, but a good night's sleep changes a lot in life and you do get what you pay for. Pillow is the same deal.

If you're going to a joint like Beds For Backs, they can sell you a mattress that has a posture keeping shape and set it up for you. That does kind of make every other bed you sleep in feel shit tho.

Soft vs hard = personal preference  but hard is more supportive and your body will eventually conform to anything given enough time.

What's different about the intake comp wheel? I had a look at it the other day...
I couldn't see Nissan written anywhere either

the good ones will ahve you lie on a demo bed to see where you need support.

 

then recommend the correct.

 

oh and steel frame over wood ;)

(that last is not a real recommendation)

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
