Yo people i made it to Taiwan without any terrorists crashing the plane into any buildings:D

Ok heres a quick rundown of it so far.

I got upgraded to business class from Australia to Hong Kong so it was sweet as. Waited on hand and foot, full electric seat, tv, sterio the works.

Hong Kong airport is farkin massive, it has its own underground train to take you to terminals. The actual runway area is massive and would be crazy for a drift session.

My hotel in Tapei is actually an appartment with 1 single bed and 1 queen bed. Tv in bedroom and flatscreen in lounge, which has 2 couches and an armchair. Has own kitchen, and huge bathroom.

Now the best part, the traffic. :eek1: If u thought driving through springvale was bad, then damn multiply that by 100 and u might come close to how crazy they drive here. No 1 indicates when they wanna change lanes or pullout from road side parking, and there r millions of little scooters on the road.

I am scared to even drive out the hotel.

Going to get my new laptop and some other goodies from the main part of Taipei.

Cyaz:D

haha, the traffic in the asian countries is crazy, theres no traffic laws there, u just drive :D

but yeah, the electronics is damn cheap. laptops, md's etc. very good prices, and u can bargain em down as well. also, car gear is quite cheap, i'm not sure about taiwan, but in hong kong, stuff like gear knobs, filters, rice lites etc. are very cheap compared to here.

how long r u staying there for? would love to go there, only for a holiday though.

denham could u pick up sum electronic goods 4 me? Oh and the general rule of thumb is horn to let sum1 know your presence, if they piss you off try to run em off the road, and motorcyclists are smaller than you, therefore they must give way to you. At intersections its always first come first thru, traffic lights are merely decorative... well that's how it works in India anyways... silly backward curries.. go the lankans.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
