Bonnet washer blue LEDS, grrr

GTR badges on gtsts - who do they think they are fooling? i've started to write notes and leave them on cars i see parked with GTR badges on that aren't GTR's... 'NOT A ****ING GTR'

inark: haha cheap racing seats? doesn't INASNT have/sell them? :rant:

I like that, while I wouldn't need to do this here in Japan. It'll probably annoy me so much that I'd do that in Aust.

Scarry to hear how riced up Aust has becomes in the years I've been absent from Aust.

how do you know they are skyline tail lights...do they custom graft them on?

Grafted on... there is a prelude in sydney with R32 rear lights yuk!

I hate all sohc V6 commodore engines, and their wheezing painful existance.

i hate skanky chicks that drive around in their ford festivas with the HUGE playboy bunny on the back window while crankin their standard stereo, all distorted out, all windows down, thinking that they are something hot.

i also hate the geeeks that think sticking cheap load mufflers on their lancers, and putting blitz and ggreedy stickers down their doors will make everyone think their car is a turbocharged weapon...

if anyone would like to see the best of these cars then take a drive to shepparton....

enough said.

I also hate those 'baby on board' signs people stick in their rear windows - I feel like pulling up to them and saying "I was about to drive into your car, but now I know you've got a kid in there, I'll behave myself"

Some chick once told me it's so I'd know she had a baby in there in an accident, but funnily enough, I find it's these people who drive like the biggest d*cks on the road.....

theres a first gen here in melb that has them... has that ugly chamelion paint too... it was at a panel shop i was getting some work done at... i felt like smashing in the arse end of it.

Hmmmm... aren't the V6 holden engines pushrod??

But yes, they are quite craptacular.

Oh and THIS is my big one... Skinny guys with tiny heads who wear white caps. I hate them in all situations, but behind the wheel of a VN/S13/etc... they increase my urge to kill dramatically.

Gojira.

I hear ya, and not just the white hats, but wearing the peak so high up it's hard to fathom how they stay on their heads.

From behind it always looks like they are looking up.

Boils my blood.

i find it quite amusing when all I can see above the doorline is their white cap and a hand reach for the sky clutching the top of the steering wheel.

That 1gen Prelude with the 32 tails looks good in my opinion. But I don't like the crappy paint. I think that the 32 lights looks stylish.

I was think of doing that to the TX5, but I would have to reform the boot lid and fudge around with seals and stuff.

Lucky I didn't hey, all this sledging of peoples personal tastes.....

Yes, yes, yes and YES! Oh thank God... nothing like sharing the pain!

haha they all look like drug dealers to me

...actually they are just dickheads!

I just had a whole group of the pastey little cap wearing wanna be something white boyz and there VL's out the front of my office then!!! One dudes driving seat was so far back, he might as well sit in the boot!!!

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
