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

    • 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.
