Ok, so the other day, I was listening to the radio at work, it happened to be nova, they had their best of CD in again. So the boss went out, I changed it to B105, as thats all it was picking up, and well, they must of had their best of CD in as well.

Then on the way home, when I didnt have the cefiro for a few week, I had triple J on, not to as much of an extent, but I think at the time they had all the hottest 100 cds in the stacker on shuffle.

So what I would like EVERYONE to do, is email their favorite radio station, maybe with a link to this for the people who choose not to email their fave station. And what I would like you to do, is to DARE them, not ask but DARE them to not play the same song for a 48 hour peirod. By same song I mean, I dont want to hear 20 differnet remixes of the same song. 48 hours of different songs.

I think it would be REALLY easy for the radio stations, I have about 25days worth of music, and well put bluntly, I just dont have that much vairety! I know these radio stations do.

So easy, email radio station, DARE THEM TO NOT PLAY THE SAME SONG FOR 48 HOURS! I dont think they will do it.

contact details...

b105 http://www.b105.com.au/contact/index.php

nova http://www.nova1069.com.au/onAir/Contact.aspx

Just a suggestion with nova, CC the general manager as well.

Triple M http://www.triplemrocks.com.au/admin/contact/index.php

Triple J http://abc.net.au/triplej/contact/default.htm

Altho triple J isnt as bad, they are national, so we might have to really pound them. Also maybe email the hack show there too, they dont always seem triple J bias.

didnt b105 do this for a while? it wasnt for 48hours but for 24hours they wouldnt play the same song, or if they did and someone noticed they would get a free cd whoever called it in

No idea. But they wouldnt want to give away only 1 cd. So they would have repeated the songs a fair bit anyway. Really I dont want to hear the same song ever in a 24 hour day on the radio.

Dont put a brick wall up, just email them damn it.

comercial radio is crap.  they'll play one CD to death then change it to another.  it's how the CD publishers want it.  the whole of comercial radio is ad's.  not just the breaks.

Yes I know, its called payola by some. Just send off the emails please! Do your bit!

For the people not being constructive, go away.

For the people like me who have to put up with this at work because the boss says so, then goes out, and gets narky when the station gets changed. Just send the bloody email please. Its not that hard. I got a few emails back today, so give it another month or so I might annoy them enough.

One even said they have never been dared not play the same song, so the idea IS working.

Just a bit of support, come on!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
