Hi Hamish,

It is a self-shaming photo of a kerb I scraped one of my D1R rims on whilst attending a car meet; my blasé attitude testament to the virtues of owning cheap wheels. 

Needless to say my enthusiasm for navigating tight carparks has been well and truly curbed.

Hi Hamish,
It is a self-shaming photo of a kerb I scraped one of my D1R rims on whilst attending a car meet; my blasé attitude testament to the virtues of owning cheap wheels. 
Needless to say my enthusiasm for navigating tight carparks has been well and truly curbed.

I took the photo :)

You shat a brick thinking you took out your freshly sprayed sideskirt though

I used to pride myself on being able to take better care of my $1000 wheels than people do their $3000 wheels :(

Rest assured, I'll be taking better care of my GTR's wheels

I just assumed the general population were fkin awful at parking, particularly reverse parallel

Just irks me when I see someone selling $3500 LMGT4s or TEs off a $10k car with "slight rash" on "only 3 of the wheels", and practically the whole lip is missing. How the fk do they rash up the ones on the driver side?

Melbourne has the worst multi storey carpark I've ever seen

Hamish will know which one I'm taking about

It's about 8 stories high and can only fit about 18 cars on each level. Thing is a fkin go kart track. You just about have to do 3 point turns to turn up and down its steep ass ramps, with your head out the window to make sure you won't clash with concrete walls covered in other people's bumper paint.

Yeah, my missus mazda 3 is sweet to zoom zoom around the multi level car parks too unlike my hearse of a car..

nice you found a new job? was it you in the IT field as well?  

Not exactly in the IT field but I do use a HP laptop with a docking into 2 screens if that counts as IT.
Gas and energy is where I'm at.

These kind of attacks have been commonplace in the Middle East for decades

Significant increase in Europe over the last 5-10 years

Imported people > imported problems

Whether pro-refugee people want to admit it or not, the problem simply would not exist in these locations if these countries didn't have such open border policies that allow the bad seeds to flow in with the goods

That religion is not compatible with western values

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
