I whole heartedly agree with this statement, lol.

I'm still playing Counter-Strike with teenagers...shit is just fun and I've decided that's what life is for

Mind you, some of them respect it when someone nearly twice their age can beat them at it...others rage up...

My Calibra is you with your Mustang, but worse because it's worth f**king nothing and it's got thousands of dollars in it like a $1500 Quaife LSD that I can't use in anything else lol

lets start with a 19K buy in.....plus lots more spent..

I hear you. The GTR is an appreciating asset though. You can hold onto it and occasionally drive when the bug bites and sell it for more later. That's a pretty unique situation to be in with a car. Maybe the das needs to be culled and replaced with a cheap runabout.


That's the issue I'm having right now.

Do I sell the Skyline or the Golf?

I like them both, admittedly I wasn't expecting to like Das Golf that much but it's quick little car and I can park it anywhere without fretting whether it'll be in same spot when I get back.

Mind you, I had a garden variety Golf before Golf R, I sold garden variety Golf cos I can't handle slow cars, absurd I know!

If I somehow manage to get a job with a secure parking space, I know what I'll do...

Thats a tough one. I know how you feel about slow cars. Ive never owned anything slower than a 13 sec car abd for those 13 secs or less im free.

only car I reget getting rid of was my RA65 Celica.

lunched a engine and had no idea at the time about engine swaps and such, sold for scrap with a sub 1000km 1500$ set of tires on it.

 

started shopping for one again now to LS swap chuck on club rego

Yep.

Good thing I've plenty of shit to sort before I put my attention on the Skyline at the moment. So I've plenty of time to ponder and fix a couple of things while I'm at it.

Is that the same stang in your sig pic?

I bought a shit car  spent too much effort/cash on it

so the pic in the sig was as I bought it.

turns out worst mustang in australia.

after this we were trying to do a wheel alignment and they could not get it within 6 "inches" of aligned on front end..they had then cocked the rear end so it was actually crabbing down the road.

It had had a big front end hit and was a dodgy fix, I had had a "reputable" company that I found in unique cars inspect it and they found nothing.. thus why I use stateroads now instead

 

so I found an old school panel beater put it on a jig and got all the corners into alignment.  we then also did some cosmetic work to the front end. suspension overhaul plus some engien work and I was happy for a while

then engine started smoking, we were going to do a quick engine swap and decided to use it as a wedding car as I had just got engaged, so pulled engine and gave it a quick media blast, only to find so so much bad work. rust holes, (but no current rust) dented panel, panels hammered out of the way to fit conversion then bogged over.

 

basiclly nothing that I would want to half arse fix.

 

so its stat for the past 6 years in primer as first pay for wedding, honeymoon then house.

scary enough it is still regoed and insured, however think it time to drop that as this will be a long build as I want to do it myself so need to learn skills and that will take time


by end of this year will finally be at a point to start looking at fixing it up

Wow, im sure it will all be worth it in the end. Dropping the rego is a good idea.

Just show up and have a hoot.

Tis what I did with the wrx while adding another driver at the last minute. 

I got no speedo, oil temp, oil pressure or coolant temp.

aint goin nowhere near a track until my race dash is installed.

Just do it.  

Go to track days without gauges. 

That's some mad impulsivity^

Indicative 2 cents on 88E...could we have hit the floor of the sell off for now? Bought a packet at 1.8 yesterday.

No question the share will ramp up a cent or so prior to the 6 month return from sabbatical...if not short and sharp, then maybe even a slow crawl to that over the 6 months. So there's money to be made short term...just need to determine where the floor is.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
