Hi Everyone,

I witnessed something that made me change my opion on Adelaide Cruisers tonight. I was chillen at shell like alot of us do now and again when a candy apple supra pulled in to Shell West Tce. Now a police 4wd drive came in aswell to get there daily fix of Hungry Jacks. They notice the supra and started having a look over it now to me the car did look like he could get in to trouble. As the police were inspecting the car the owner inform the cops of the other cars parked around him to take the heat off himself. While this was all going on I saw 4 Drag races going passed Shell and they didnt care. Two highly modifyed rotors wizzing passed with blowoff valves singing. Now that is defentaly something to inform the cops if you are going to try and take the heat off your self but four cars parked at shell not doing anything to anyone minding there own business and getting picked on because someone opened there mouth to take the heat off themselfs. ( What a Tool ) Its just not on why is this happening?

If I was getting done over by the cops im not about to dob everyone else in to save myself if the supra didnt say anything no one else would of got warnings or defected . So I guess the new polcies is dont give a stuff about anyone else but yourslf and pass on the favour. I thought all of us cruisers were suppose to be on the same side but it looks like we are turning on fellow cruiser if you cant handle getting busted by cops you should not have the car!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah sounds like the Supra driver was first class gay. Dobbing others in is the most uncool thing ever. Sounds like the Supra belongs to Karim, he has one that colour - and he is a tool, so it all fits. Was it this one? http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...showtopic=86839

If you hang out at Shell these days with all the other scooter gay ricer kids, defects are to be expected arn't they? i admittedly and embarassing used to along time ago.. but the cop situation back then was nothing like it is now.

I've just come back from Perth and caught up with the SAU WA section, the car scene and cops are alot more user friendly over there. I had a few chats with people and they only had nice stories to tell. There were not many cops around at all that I saw actually, maybe it was because they were fighting real crime? Why is it adelaide that gets so shafted?

Yeah Nightcrawler we are 99% sure thats the supra but it was night time and I only saw one side of the car.

But in all my years of being a cruiser which is about 7 years now not once have I ever heard or seen anyone get defected at Shell. We liked hanging out there it was like a safe haven but you still saw everything going on but now there is no were to go anymore and we dont like hiding away. Both of are cars arnt defectable by Regency standards but that doesnt matter to the cops cause if they want to get you they will. My car has been thru not that long ago but the cop gave me a warning on my number plate and to low but by regency its fine. So if this guy didnt open his mouth the cops wouldnt of thought that they had to prove a point .

Cheeky im not sure why we are getting cracked down on so hard cause we have been to Sydney about a month ago and the cops left us alone unless someone is being stupid. We cruised in Newcastle and all the time we were there I didnt see one defect station or coppers looking for people to bust ......... I think that the police in this state need to learn what they are looking at and that there attitude suxs because you drive a nice car but the cops are blaming the Fast and the Furious movie and P platers that copied it........

    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
