"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:

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
