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

    • @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 👇🏾
