Yes, its doing nothing, but gathering dust and rust.

Cant find my camera cord to show you, but it is the one you gave me.

I wasnt using it, or planning to, so i dont need a replacement.

Ill drop it off, good excuse for a drive.

Went out to the cotter and Brindabella rd the other day, nice drive.

I wonder if roads are bumpier than they used to be or if its just me. Because i find going fast is not good at all, but 20 years ago i could go WAY faster and not feel like im about to be thrown off the road.

And i dont think its my car as ive had far worse shtboxes going faster than the Skyline.

Ps..... dropped it off. ;) I forgot which one, but the blonde told me. :yes:

Went for a drive, my car is fun to drive now.

Saw a bunch of guys on minibikes cruising down Belconnen way. I noticed they were all very nice looking bikes, ( original Honda's ) and the riders had good riding gear they obviously use for their big bikes. The cop in the paddy wagon didnt notice or know about real legit minibikes, because as soon as he saw them he put the siren on and went after them.

They would all be registered etc, these things are a rarity and im very surprised to see such a large group.

Awesome little things, it easy to see why they have cult status:

Has anyone checked out Power Kart Raceway in Fyshwick yet? Pretty cool place and the karts are pretty quick.

Anyway they're planning on running a racing league fortnightly Wednesdays starting 15th of October.

Anyone who might be interested they have some details on a Facebook event - https://www.facebook.com/events/1467986283466197/

I'm planning on running it. Trying to get word out :)

I was blown away by the size of some things. Huge jars of Jam etc and Marshmallows that would Fill a Coffee Cup.

The Bulk buy factor is the main issue as the initial cost is a bit off putting but in the grand scheme it seems economical. (aside from the $60 yearly fee)

eg. Twin pack of Mocconna 400g jars of Coffee for $35 work out cheaper than when on special at Woolies individually but it's alot straight up.

Walking round snacking on Demo foods is cool though and a Hotdog and refillable drink for $1.99 is a Bargain. :D

Not likely to signup anytime soon though. (we went with friends who are already members)

The sweets section is pretty full on, and it is nice to have a 2 month supply of toilet paper, if you have the storage space.

There are some good things like the terry towels and microfibre cloth in the auto section. Good for detailing, theres always a clean rag handy.

But for me, not having to go shopping as often is the best part.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
