G'day all.

Honestly can't remember if I ever created one of these.

So, hi.

I'm luke, I used to post a lot.

On my second 32 gtr.

Hasnt run since I purchased it about 8 years ago, so typical skyline project.

 

Have done a lot of my own mods on my last car. Kind of miss it to be honest (the car).

Come say hi, I promise not to bite.

Welcome to a place where you just spend endless amounts of money to have a car that doesn't work, or barely works.

Times haven't really changed alot though, the build cars, run the cars hard, then break the cars, rinse and repeat, has been going on from when I first joined SAU

Good times

You forgot that one guy who buys a car, swears he'll leave it stock, modifies it, and sells it 6 months later for a new stock daily...

Sounds like a fun guy

In other news, I'm picking up the MX5 from MX5 Mania tomorrow, yeap, another car that I said I was keeping stock,  but didn't

Weirdly, it is all set up for taking it to the track, which I said I wasn't going to do

Meh, I'll be living in Goulburn soon, so maybe that's a sign of my symptoms 

Yes, I know, it's a sickness, a fun sickness, but a sickness none the less

I f**king told you to buy that built 2.5 one ready for the track from the get go that was 18K.

God damnit you people need to listen to me :D

Dose, the BMW M4 Competition the shittiest car ever.

BORING on the road at low and high speed.
BORING on the track relative to a truly fun track car.
EXPENSIVE AND PRETENTIOUS.

I also haven't driven my car since December, because it is in second paint jail after first paint jail. I find a way to have a car off the road for a year and it isn't even f**kin broken :D

Pfffft, I'm not *that* new.

I haven't spent endless amounts and my car STILL doesn't run!

 

But, thanks for having me.

Re-welcome! :D 

"used to post a lot" ? 

Bah. Only 4th on the 'Most Content' leaderboard. 

Thanks.

I once heard rumours that some of the top posters used counter multipliers to exaggerate their count.

Not sure if true or not.

And I used to post much more than I do now.

But, with all my shit posting, I made some great friends.

Including my best friend.

bro used to post a lot until he bought a vag.

like me

like PranK

like Dunc

my theory is that VAGs are Skyline Kryptonite.

It's just so comfortable! 

Like, how hard would it be to install heated, ventilated and massage front seats in the gtr?

And a night vision camera?

And plush air suspension? 

And proximity start and entry?

 

But seriously, stopped posting a lot when gtr stopped running. And then didn't really get back into it.

And the scene has changed a lot.

Then I moved rural where the car scene is prado's and 70 series.....

Yeah Wakie opened again last week.

And to correct the record...only Nissans in this house, other than one hilux paddock basher that I'd love to replace with an equally abused navara, and the tractor

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
