my g/f is in yr. 12 and she comes home some days and is all excited to tell me about how "some guys were talking about cars and they didnt know what they were talking about and then one of them said something realllly stupid so i corrected him"

i'm such a bad influence on the poor girl, she barly knew the colour of a car when i first met her. lol.

hehe age old debate I guess, my g/f is kewl with my car "obesession"

although I have been accused by her that I spend more time an money on my car than her hehehe

she doesn't complain when we rock up to parties in my car tho :wassup:

I guess my obsession is starting to rub off on her coz now she wants to buy a Supra :aroused:

hmmm car or g/f

have to say itz a split 50/50

but to be honest, no matter sexy they are, a car is just a car :)

He He! Great thread. Must agree though - my missus hates me spending time on the '33 and THEN goes for a drive and has a ball with all the fellas looking at her.

Little do they know that she doesn't know how to put 'the pressures in the tyres'????!!!!!

my gf used to be like that...

then i got her into cars... made her buy a TT soarer which was faster than my GTST much to the amusement of all the SAU VIC guys...

now shes buying a Foreset XT luxury... 155kw turbo 2.5... sure we will squeeze more than that out of it with a few small mods :D

btw - unlike most people including skyline owners, my gf can actually tell the legitimate difference between a GTS, GTST and GTR... even a vspec with the finned diff lol

yeah my gf now owns a S15 GT......

She wont let me drive much anymore. As she loves my new S2 and she now has a passion for her car too. I still need to teach her the importance of washing a car tho...

But at least she goes to events with me and points out a few things i have missed....

My wife loves the car, if you ask her it's her Skyline not ours it's all hers.

She has made saturday "the work on the car day" she is allways looking for new things to do to it including performance stuff.

You should see some of the looks she gets when they pull up beside her to find that it's a girl driving it and shes not scared of the go pedal.

mine has gotten better with the car/s as time has passed.. the torrie i used to own, she hated and was embarrassed by it, but began liking it when the guys in school (when i first met her in yr12) would talk about how cool it was (har har, young hoons in the making).. and now with the skyline, she has more of an appreciation for it and the attention it needs..

as long as i divide my attention evenly, and even at the same time, shes cool with it :P like washing the car, shell man the hose.. mechanical work, shell undo bolts after i ease them that first bit, and changing a tyre she wound the jack up and let it down.. hehe almost sounds like my own little slave :rofl: but really, she tends to like helping and having me proud of her.. so i love her for that :)

shaun.

Hey who says really girly girls arent into cars?

My girlfriend of 4 years is the most girly girl you will ever meet, come to think of it, I dont think i've ever seen her out of her high heels?

She's always correcting the clueless boys at her uni who prattle on about nissan misinformation ;)

Heres to girls who dig cars :)

:cheers:

get yaself a girl that knows that you are good with ya hands, and once a week when ya done polishing the car give her a wash and wax too, she'll stop complaining soon enough

hmm thats not really true....girls who like cars still complain sometimes.

Like Kel, who hurt her back lifting an rb26 block yesterday, she's still complaining :)

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
