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:

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
