Man, SAU is just filling up with people who have goals in horsepower or want to run X amount of boost. we need a horsepower ban in place.

yeah I'm aiming for a nice 150ish RWKW, think I have decided on one of these as my affordable classic for a few years whilst american muscle gets finished.

 

bit of low, some rims, few tunes and a 308 seems like a nice little weekend car. prob bang it on club rego as well.

just checked car sales... VK's start at $7,500.

$3k will get you a real shitter.

After seeing a few really clean XF/Fairmont/Fairlane/whateverthef**k, i think they'll be classics. chunky tyres, low, those american style speedos.

My cousins got a ZH Fairlane, and its actually pretty cool.

yeah forget car sales.

gumtree/facebook market place is where the decent cheap ones are.

5ish will get a clean one with some good bits, 4ish for one with a few things to clean up

prob have to go north a bit to get one however.

Anyone commute with a bike to the city on daily basis? yay or nay?
Thinking of growing a pair and get a two wheeler. 
Been 4.5 months working in the city and am sick of traffic and paying for parking, have tried catching the train twice and yeah nah.

When I was in the office 5 days a week I rode in most days 

Used to do Gleniris to south melb then after move was doing Newport to South Melb

 

both had bike tracks most of the way and was at work in under 30 min. and we had bike storage in the secure carpark.

 

we did have decent showers at work however as in summer can get a sweat going.

Did it a couple of times but I only lasted 4 months in the city before moving jobs, f**k that. 

Too many dickheads in cars don't see ya, and took a fair bit of time to get my gear on / off / bike out the shed etc. Didn't make it worth it so got the train. 

I got a mate that lives like 10km out of the city and has a really powerful E-bike thing, gets him to work and home really quick and can use bike tracks, plugs it on charge nightly and bobs your auntie.

Get Nismo weighted shit knob. One of those poly-whatever ones (no, not the gay rounded ones with the flare at the bottom).

 

They work gud

Hmmmmm not cheap, but comes with nismo sticker, which is worth like $100 anyway

I have a shift knob that I got from our great friends at Autobarn.

But I legit want an OEM one because I figure they should be cheap as literally anyone who changed their shift knob ever should have one, and it'll fit nicely over the boot...

Your logic is flawed, anyone that changed them threw the stock one in the bin.

Originally I wanted a Nismo leather one but $180 was the cheapest I got offered, so yeah that is out.

I just want something that will sit on the thread on the shifter properly, having this dead space between top of boot and the actual knob is mildly annoying. Mildly as in cheap 2nd hand OEM shifter price annoying.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
