Eastern suburbs for now but looking at houses on the lower north shore or northern beaches at the moment.

Eastern suburbs? Yikes, what happened to you?!? :rofl2:

I could ask the same of you - Are you a BMW fanboy now? 😏

I'm an everything fanboy. I seem to want one of every car atm. If only I was a middle eastern prince. :)

Unfortunately, cars are a little lower on my priorities than they used to be. Just moved house and have a daughter going into fricken year ten and another in year 7. Its all doing my head in.

Living the dream :) An unlimited garage and bank account would be nice wouldn't it?

Absolutely. And time to drive them! I bet that GT3 is fun. Totally a fave of mine.

Believe it it not, I have barely driven it. Bought it earlier this year, it arrived the day before my daughter was born so free time wasn't something I have had a lot of, and then we went into a 5 month lockdown and I wasn't able to get to it.

I'm happy to keep it warmed up if you want :)

Congrats on your daughter!!! Is she your first?

Yep. Eldest gets her license this year. Need to find a big open space to let her let it rip.

I'm OK mate - Miss my Skyline, Gloria, Cosmo (ie anything Jap Import) - Still living in Adelaide. Having kids kills the ability to have car projects...... so waiting for them to all move out (11 years to go !) LOL.

20 Years for SAU, that's wild - I still remember my first meet up with you guys, even before I had my GTST. I had the Red VL Turbo and we cruised the Northern Beaches. 

Good Times.

If you weren't SDU before you were SAU, are you even OG? 😀

Car projects are still doable with kids B-man, its the time to enjoy them part that is the issue.

Where in radelaide are you living? DM me if you like - We are down there regularly.

Are you on crack. 4 kids, wife doesn’t work, Adelaide wages. Car projects not happening.

So, while @Duncan has stretched the definition of 'Northside' somewhat, I'm seriously impressed by @B-Manincluding himself from Radelaide. :rofl2:

You have an E500 though, thats super cool.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
