Hey guys, Haven't checked this thread for a while so i thought i would stop in.

We finally got a house down there, but it is going to suck getting use to cold weather, bit differen't from the sunny coast.

The house is in Gungahlin, so hopefully we are not to far out from everywhere.

haha, i still dont know how he does that, people say its soapy ground but either way its impressive

Keeping this thread up there, a guy from my work had a massive crash last night. Basically he was driving home along the back road and a painters tarp was left on the road, he saw it at the last moment and panicked thinking it was a cow on the road so he swerved and over corrected, his tyre hit the dirt shoulder and threw him into a ditch, rolling his car and setting it on fire with him still in it, luckily his door was still able to be opened and he wasn't knocked out because from what i saw this morning it was an inferno. Everything not metal had been melted off and all that was left was a steel shell in a large burntout patch of grass. He was so shocked at the time that he didn't even know he had rolled and still denies it (despite caved in roof) and before getting out of the car he had tried reversing out of the ditch while it as on fire.

Crazy stuff

I didn't know cars actually set on fire when they rolled. I could imagine a car with carburettor might but this was a fairly recent Ford that would of ignited immediately after rolling (he left work at 7:30, 10 minutes to drive to where he crashed, called my boss at 7:45)

so I get pulled over in Mawson for doing 72 in a 60 zone tonight...

grumpy old man cop tells me off for doing 72 in a residential area, I tell him I'm sorry and just wasn't concentrating, he takes my licence and has a quick look over my car and then starts punching details into his little speeding fine machine.

He comes back to my window with licence and ticket.... and says "here you go, this is an official CAUTION" and gives me a printout that looks exactly like a ticket and even says "infringement notice" but it's not. wooohooO!!!!!

:)

I think my car needs a wash BADLY... he wrote purple instead of red as the colour :banana:

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
