wait... so you have a spare wire? put a voltmeter on the wire and earth it. then turn your lights on. it should give you a reading.

its a 3 speed auto, which means there's 3 gear ratios to operate the car in. Hold affects the point at which the gear ratio is changed, as does power. The only thing that might affect the ratio is overdrive, which it should automatically switch to after about 60 km/h or thereabouts. This is kinda like 3.5. Summary: Leave it in "Drive" and turn off "Overdrive". You will end up in 3rd gear at higher speeds. Dyno.

park your car in someone's front yard?

top line is "I RU MI" if that helps, can't make out the bottom characters. I'm guessing "illumi" or light... which would be what you connect to the dash lights so that when you turn your headlights on, the lights on the stereo go on. grab a battery and close the circuit, see if your stereo lights up.

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah satin black... no.

^^^ olive drab

the AWD on GTO's suck donkey balls. Its an american car Dodge 3000GT or some shit like that, sold as a Mitsi in japan cos mitsi produced it for Dodge. It drives like an american car, it handles like an american car, it looks like an american car, but it's powered by a pissy little japanese motor. You do the math. The only people who drive it are lebs and people who want an american sports car on a japanese budget. I wouldn't piss on one if it was on fire. Some somali dudes rocked up to Driftline with a GTO... saying he had boost problems. We told him to find a priest and turned him away. Mind you he had some ghetto mods that looked like they had put together with a hammer and shovel. cos they don't meet power to weight ratio requirements of current laws. They were eligible a while back, and some sneak into the country unnoticed (cos you'd only get caught out if they audited the compliance) under the current scheme.

lol @ hector

cos its bad enough being dark skinned, the last thing I need is the ASIO thinking I'm driving around in some camo urban assault vehicle. "Hey you guise check out my new car" "psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww" "What's that noise?" "ICBM splooooooooooooooode" "FFFFUUUU damn you ASIO!!"

yeah but the 300ZX has an engine bay that's more cramped than a GTO and is almost as heavy.

meh, already made a 180sx ute. boring. olther colours are: Coyote Brown: Olive Drab: Coyote Tan: Foliage Green:

yeah the grey I was looking at is battleship grey but with gloss. cbf with matte, shows all the bumps n dents.

yet you're happy with a 300ZX and a supra?

fuck you... craig had to rebuild the whole thing from ground up. that's 3 years of cumulative coding redone in 6 months.

in other (somewhat related) news... J-SPEC 2.0 IS NOW ONLINE!!!

or this:

yeah I'm thinking army green or navy too. end product to look like this hopefully:

picking a colour to respray the 32. needs to go with gold meshed/dished wheels... although I'm willing to powdercoat the centre black if I need to. also needs to go with a black interior and underbonnet, and CF splitter, wing, mirrors etc. I'm actually digging all the military colours... light grey, navy, army green, army brown etc.

goddamn you guys are a bunch of beefy mofos.

reminds me of baby poo.

colour: thoughts?

brb going to u-mart to pick up a new 1TB hard drive cos the other one shat itself.

nga's been reading up on pro techniques over the weekend.

that car is hacked as f**k... i've got the build article with pics from like 1998 when it was blue. ghetto.

invest in a mouthguard?
