"kris, sometimes i think you love your car more than you love me"

Hey i was just woundering what blow of valve you have on your car and

how you set it up becouse it doesnt looke like its plumb back.

my car always stalls if the blow of valve isnt plumb back so its currently running the standard factory blow of valve.

thanks

marco

i get the " its just a car" my reply is always like - just a car?!?!?!? JUST A CAR!?!?!?!? lol

i also get the - "you love cars more than me"

whenever i start talking and rambling bout cars, she sorta just switches off and stares into space, haha :cheers:

i wonder what shes gonna be like when i actually buy my own 'line in the next month or so??? hehe

When my girlfriend entered my life, she knew cars was my number one passion. She also knew not to try and compete with it.

She is actually a bit of a hoon herself. She bought a Silvia for her second car and really like driving my GTR. Whilst I was away overseas she even got the car sideways with my Mum in it to show her how the ATTESA works (on my request.)

She enjoys my hobby and even understands why I need to spend $1000 on dump pipes.

She's so cool.

When I was looking at buying my skyline...my gf was trying to get me to buy a commodore wagon cause it was "MORE PRACTICAL"

....I said no F'ing way!...

When I picked her up from work for the first time in my brand new purchase....she couldn't keep the grin off her face the whole way home.

If your gf knows your a good driver and they bitch off about should of bought a more practical car etc etc, or a camry or something. Just dive into the whoosh and see the smile on their face. NOTHING like watching them squirm when you hit boost and hey, it's quicker to do this and please them then it is to have them in bed :rofl:

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".

Thats exacilly the same as my girl friend, except now shes at uni and 2 hours away, so i get plenty of time to work on the car! She suprises me all the time with how much she knows, she just listens when i talk to my mates and always wants to attend the drift meets when ever possible!

her dream car is an S15 (which suits me fine), and she loves to drive the skyline....but my stereo just wasnt put in for destinys child music cranked up to the MAX!!!

my current girl loves to drive my 32.

only people that have ever driven it apart from me are my dad and her only thing is she complains that its too bumpy.

she's a primary school teacher and the kids always talk about skyline's so she mentions i have one and she notices alot of the time that the naughty boys in the class behave alot better.

My girlfriend wants a skyline, and will get one soon. She does not mind me working on mine as she knows I enjoy it and figures that she will have a mechanic to service her car! haha

Thing is.. I spent alot of time with my girlfriend.. Thats the idea of a relationship. She is more important than the car, but everyone has hobbies and thats what you need to accept about your partner.

if your girlfriend is winging that you dont spend time with her then perhaps you dont..

*starting to sound like Dr Phil*

my missus is cool with me and my car. She doesn't really like it when i spend time on the car when she's around, but apart from that she says nothing. She knows that its my baby.

She doesn't understand why i spend so much $$$ on it tho....

Like i say to her, the car will be here in 2 years, will you?

My GF is really good company and quite technically knowledgeable when it comes to chatting about performance cars. She kept me company through my previous R32 GTS-t engine swap and kindly bought me out sandwiches and cold drinks daily ;)

She previously owned an R33 GTS25t, sadly wrote it off.... Drifting (can't say I know to many girls that like stepping out sideways at 80km/hr) :Oops:

But yeah, I think many girls these days are pretty switched on with cars and that's a great thing for us guys.

Be interesting when I give her a wrap in the R :rofl:

    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
