I woke up this morning about 6ish as I ususally do and decided, for a change, I'll just get an extra couple of Zzzz's. Woke again at 10am - Damn I'm 2hrs late for work..That started my bad day.

Went to log in the PC and advise work I was going to be a tad late, requires a new password today and wouldn't sink via RAS. Sh!t. Oh well I'll rock up to work LATE.

By the time I was ready to go it's 10:30. I'm wearing my suit and spilt my coffee on the shirt and pants. Only suit pants that fit anymore (no fat jokes!). Fine, I'll go casual as I have no client meetings.

Jump in my ride, turns over - no worries. Whilst warming the beast up she stalls. Tis ok I'll just turn her over again and she cranks over - NO Start. 10 minutes later I try again and beautifull off we go. Get near Pialliago and she dies on the Big circle. Hmmm geting angry now.

I know a quick call to Anthony out at Integra's he'll know. "Sounds electrical Richard, might be the Ignitor". I try to start her and were off again. So I finally get into civic about 12ish just as everyones off to lunch.

I then get an SMS from my 18yo neice. "I dont think so".What does that mean?. So I check my phone sent messages, Well turns out I sent her a previous message from the other night that I sent to some one else that said "Ring me and find out babe".

Oh thats gr8 my neice thinks I'm a sicko!. Her names Aimee so it's the first name in my phone. Somehow with keygaurd off I've bumped it enuff to go thru the sequence for sending a message.

I get to the carpark toll gate, push the button - Car park Full - Shit, shit, shit. Fine, I'll just go park over the road. So after parking the car out in the sun miles from work I get out of my car to put change in the machine for daily parking, I have no coins!!!, in fact I cant go get change as my Wallets at home with my suit pants.

Thats it - I just wasn't spose to go to work today.

bit of a bad run for you lately huh mate? all will be ok and you have a group of people on here that will stand by you and help you out, myself included.

just tell your neice i sent her the message and then set up a meeting for the 2 of us so i can explain, then i'll ask her out.........as long as she's hot, pics!!!!!

who gets married before they shag these days anyway? its like getting a ferrari only to find once you've made the purchase you realise its got no engine.

you've really got me thiking now, i could never wait to sleep with a girl untill i've married her, guess its shows the shift in society.

Ah Fark fella's. You got me.

I like to test drive all the time and I wouldn't buy another ride. The two I owned previously must've wound the boost up b'cos after I bought them the rides were few and far between and they just didn't perform like they used too. Talk about the cost of owning and maintaining a ride. The ongoing running costs are for another 5 years and ther'll be no more hard drivin'....he he he!

I do.

So that means i have been married once or twice. lol only joking. Not been married would have to find someone that would have me first. lol.

Sorrry to hear about your bad day Richard

all will be good one day.

Whats a suit??????????

Crkey mate you'd look like Les Patterson - Cultural Attache for the RSL - with a suit on, specially after spillin' coffee...............lol.

I gotta wear shoes now, when I first joined my work we used to be able to rock up in thongs. Still 'T' shirt and shorts/jeans though.

Thats so close to the truth its funny - NOT! :D

Stalling appears fixed as it hasn't happend again. Found an earth wire off the dreaded "IGNITOR" not fixed down properly to the block.

and yeah, it makes my day to be called hun by a babe :rant: particularly a babe interested in Skylines. :P

what a shocker of a day, dunno about les patterson though, sounds more like les norton to me, (robert barrett books) hehehe , how about if I call you sweetheart?? would that help your day some more?? I might not be a babe, just a gal, but I do lust after skylines, would that be ok??? hahaha, yep I have returned from the land of apples, was at the jerra last night until about 7.30pm, saw sexygtst at woolies and then on the roundabout, hope to catch up soon!

WOOOO HOOOO - Guess who's back. Gal...Lust...Skylines....Yeah! Just the first one meets my criteria the rest is a bonus.

Almost called you guys last night. Just missed you at the Jerra.

    • Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?
    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
