Everyone creaming their pants on facebook over a VF HSV Ute for $90,000.
Even comes with an aftermarket super charger and 2 speed power glide. Great for towing a jet ski.
500kws and custom drive shaft... What is that, like 100kws more than factory?

I think the utes had 340kw only the GTS sedan had 430kw 

Still slower than a tuned GS, funny when the ford GT with '350kw' made more rwkw than the 430kw HSV haha

My mates got an aftermarket charged ve gts, think the kit was around the $20k mark.. Makes 390-395rwkw I think he said... Didn't sound too impressive given the ls3 in his car was advertised as 317kw, 320 in mine... But mine with exhaust tune and cai are making around 280rwkw.. That's a '375' kit... 100kw loss sounds pretty high to me but maybe I've been out of the game too long..

 

 

Friend bought a property almost a year ago. single not-very-significant-income. House came with tenants, decides to let them stay instead of move in (sick of living at home, but who says no to rent).
He knew the tenants were filthy, no screening process because existing tenants (how does that work?). Not surprisingly they pay rent late, lately not paying at all. Real Estate doesnt notice, so he emails the agent. Few weeks pass, agent says "sorry lol been on holiday, whoops, lets get this sorted". Goes to the Tenancy Tribunal people and sits there waiting in queue.
Then talks to me about plan to use equity to buy another place in the near future. Have fun with that. meanwhile, miserable at parents place because sibling had a baby in a trifecta relationship (VWL-worthy SJW story that one) and the bread-winner wasnt a biological parent so when shit went down the parents got kicked out. Funny, but not funny.


We're still waiting on that trifecta story Liam.

All I know is Leigh needs less whining, more whoosh noises from his taxi.

 

Waiting for compound turbo kit to be available, they make about 1000rwhp with ease stock engine :) turbo sits under car haha

Just get two big ones by tonight Harry.

A while ago I was googling to find the biggest/best quality CRT commercially available. and its like this 30" or something 4:3 behemoth. tables needing extra support to hold it up etc since it weighed in at like 40+kgs

Obviously older people and collectors wanted them so they fetched about $600 but no one ever wanted to cough up for postage (why are PC nerds usually poor? lack of career drive from disinterest in work? poor social skills to leave good impressions? poor body odour?)

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t 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 when selected . But nothing when in  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. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
