Oh wow. Over-reaction much?

I win I win I win!

New Year's babies. I'm also a September baby (next week) Happy Birthday carbon fiber boy!

Different rear bar and colour though. That looks like flat white not pearl?

Wow that's tidy!

Thinner oil means less oil pressure.

Ford blue coloured R34 coupe, bodykit, chromies on a nature strip in Rosebud West earlier this afternoon.

^^^tehehehehehe

^^^ah yes, Rob's S15 is quite nice. Oh cool, not me.

My R34 did the same when it first arrived from Japan for at least a month. I put it down to the fact the car sat around not being driven for a while and the float might've stuck in one position.

Indeed, because they get paid so poorly. That goes with most people in the US in service type roles - taxi drivers, porters in hotels, etc.

I hear ya. I was lucky to take home $50 per night plus minimal tips waitressing 6 nights per week.

It sounds very sus, I guess the price reflects that. The car has low km's yet it's had an engine rebuild...suggests it's had a hard life. No coolant only water and a patchy service history suggests it hasn't been serviced regularly. And $3500 buys you a very basic rebuild, nothing special. If it was my money, I'd be walking away. Or buying the R34 GT-T I'm selling soon - see signature (not dodgy self-promotion, it's an honest car that's been well cared for.)

Doesn't affect any cars currently available for import into Aus since we can only import the Z11's, that relates to Z12's.

What time was this? I was on said roads tonight but my lights are all working I think?

Sedans are seperate, indicators and reverse lights are under the tailight not integrated.

More details please.

Because you're not supposed to be using your iPhone while driving.

Why hello there. I didn't see you again I'm always in zombie-mode going too and from work.

Woohoo, cleared customs so she should go off to the compliancer soon

Yup, and both [email protected] & [email protected] emails are working I can confirm

Yay, I can browse again

The car's still waiting to clear customs in Sydney (it's been on the wharf for a week and a half.) They're slacker than Melbourne that's for sure! A random piece of my car turned up from Japan today, the service manual: I'm assuming the shipping company kept it seperate to ensure that it wasn't taken at the wharf. Very thoughtful of them.

That'd mean it also forgot it's tune on the board that I just pulled out and then put back in. I'm thinking there might be an issue with the header it's plugging into as it's not running with either board in it Shall investigate next weekend.

A lesson I learnt a long time ago but ignored - the car is not broken, do not fix it. The car has been driving so nicely on the odd day I've taken it out in the last couple of months. I ignored my own advice today and thought it might be nice to get the new O2 sensor bung welded in the dump pipe, install the new O2 sensor and fit the remap board to suit the O2 sensor. Remember it hasn't been running a working O2 sensor since the engine conversion in early 2006. I'm now left with a car that's pissing fuel into the cylinders and flooding, misfiring, doesn't want to start, the check engine light is on and if you manage to get it started you have the keep the car in gear and the revs up or it just stalls. It also fills a workshop the size of a school hall completely with fuel smoke in about 5 second. Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy The tuner says the check engine light means that the board isn't seated properly inside the ECU, meaning that the ECU is working as a stock ECU and has no compensation for the 740cc injectors and Z32 AFM that are trying to communicate with it. Problem being that we took out and put back in the original board (that it ran perfectly with) and the new board multiple times and it won't run with either board in it, O2 sensor plugged in or not. I am internally raging. I should have just left it.
