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:

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
