Got your entry to Broadford Greg. Will see you up there. You going to come and say Hi this time or not?

He said hi to me last time, but I think that was only because I walked past him as he was fixing his car...

There's a lot of mental processing reserved for exploding cars that don't drive right and being a complete noob driver you know!
Finally got a friend's old beamer going and he also signed up for SAU. This is the guy that was fixing my car at Sandown while I was blabbing to Birds. His rationale for joining SAU was "Well unlike the BMW club they are at the track, and also I've fixed enough Skylines to be an honorary member even if they don't know it yet"

Lost 3-4kg in the past 3weeks... not sure if fat or body mass.

Thought I would be gaining whilst jobless.

that just means you're eating too much at work, maybe you're a heavy snacker?

or maybe you walking around more now?

So drove the S14 back home to the country today.

I really forgot just how bad the highway done/pot hole wrecking the back was.
that said the few sweeping bends went though made me remember why I did what I did.

 

I see a trailer in my not too distant future.  and many more track days

is that one of the chinese ones with the phone home with full data on it?

I'm not sure what you mean.... but yeah, Chinese phones taking over yo. My HTC is over 2 years old now and app updates have just made it a slug for running most things. Reverted back to factory default for what apps I could and they run much better. Don't think its worth spending much on a phone if constant updates render everything redundant in a short span, a la Apple.

Considered the Nokia 3310, and it looks like the good ol' days of functionality but really need SOME basic internet stuff.

TLDR

apparently a bunch of Chinese phone companies have firmware that monitors all traffic on the device and sends home

meant to be for mainland only but "accidentally" put on international ones as well.

 

 

Meh, if they want to monitor my sending of memes and organising car or family meets, then they're more than welcome to. The socialist party council can add me on Facebook for all I care. Need those instagrum followers

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
