no probs Micko - glad u both had a good time :) hope me and my friends didnt scare her :D

Ken my last job was 19K and i was miserable in that the 35K makes a job so much more bearable - its not sooo mucht he job but the environment - hehe but revenge is mine - my supervisor was told he had to go down from a level 6 to a level 2 - the same level as me hehe - actually as of june 30 they pretty much have all new staff in that place - that will probably count me as gone as well

Yep Ken, got the mines ecu in. Was using the stocker before that though.

Should have the car on the dyno Wed night if steve can fit me in so we can see what the a/f ratio is like.

Car goes pretty good now methinks. Worth having the aftermarket dial in the car now;)

In that case , theres the problem. I would say the fuel ratio will be a bit rich as the japs like a lot of fuel and timing.

Cheers

I owned 2 businesses ( wrecking and Driver Training )

Made some SERIOUS money but the satisfaction wasn't there after a while.

Am working in a mates shop on the tools earning less than you but am happy , no stress, no employees , no aggro.

Life is good atm and I enjoy my time talking about cars again with people who like them for what they are and not a source of making money out of.

Cheers

good for u ken :D

brave wish i could be like that but atm i need the money and not really sure if i want to do anything else maybe if work was more demanding of my time and not so boring i would feel different.

but you've made money ken :D if it wasnt for that u wouldnt have the lifestyle and the ability to downgrade the job.

I havent made any money really - havent been able to acquire investments but when i get older i'll probably be able to do the same but for now its boring old work for me.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
