  1. I still have bad memories of going into turn 1 at Wakefield in my old R33 boat, going sideways, then backwards, then loopety looping it The culprit was a catch can that puked oil out "everywhere" Fun times......🙄
  2. Spit balling Could you connect a boost gauge to the oil cap somehow, disconnect the can line and take a reading, then reconnect the line and take another reading to see the crankcase pressure difference? Agree it will need to be done when the engine is used in anger for sustained runs Disclaimer: I tend to over think things nowadays
  3. It does look nice though 👍
  4. My brother from another mother, and probably about the same age Road test starts at 07:45. The road looks amazing, apart from the random traffic consisting or cars, trucks and motorbikes
  5. FYP "New" school Mil spec if average to say the least Yeah, I'm that jaded
  6. Is it possible to check what your crankcase pressure is? I know with hydraulics that the longer the line, the more pressure you need to move the oil Maybe due to the long single line, the crankcase pressure will rise because it is being bottle necked by the long line, maybe, maybe not, it may work great My brain hurts now, time for a snooze
  7. VAG isn't an acronym, it's just a polite way of saying a bunch of Kunts
  8. I kinda like the red, it "sort of" reminds me of my old orange one I loved As for a turbo, nah, I'll keep it stock, well....maybe just a cat back, and intake, and some wheels, and probably a tune......LOLOLOLOLOL I'm going to chat to my broker and see what he can do for me Good news is the Minister for War and Finances is onboard
  9. Went for a drive in a work mates new car, now I want a new BRZ TS..... exactly like this....yeap, here we go again, not sure on which colour, his was white, but I want a "real" colour, I am thinking red, because red is faster......LOL
  10. I'm actually a fan of a bright yellow R32 http://www.rbmotoring.com/blog/nissan-skyline-r32-yellow-color-available-to-source But then I like colours that aren't black, white, silver or grey for sporty/fun cars, those colours seem to blend into the background, I'm looking into a carpark right now with about 100 cars in it, and the only cars that stand out amongst the sheep are yellow, orange, red, blue and this weird yellowish greenish HQ ute
  11. Disclaimer: totally different car My Honda's shifts were a "little" notchy at high RPM and the clutches engaged pretty high, no amount of bleeding fixed it, I thought it might have been the syncros, turns out the old girls clutch, pressure plate, fork and thrust bearing were worn, after replacing those OEM parts with new OEM parts the clutch engagement was much lower, was lighter, and shifted at high RPM like butter I'm not saying this is your issue, but there are alot of moving parts that are considered consumable items hidden in there
  12. I've seen wrap peel around edges and bubble, but not fall off in chunks, it does look like it has taken a hit for the wrap to tear and come off like that, how long has it been wrapped?
  13. My old 500hp R33 25/30 boat used about 20 L/100 Km around town, and about 15 L/100 Km on the Hwy on 98 Currently my 500hp blown LS1 in a Dunnydoore uses around 25 L/100 Km around town, and 12 L/100 Km Hwy on 98 I'm assuming your fuel gauge isn't accurate
  14. What codes? Any warning lights, a ABS warning light should come up if a speed sensor is busted
  15. It's a sickness 🤡, don't judge me, I'm a sensitive clown
  16. Bogan Cruise Ship is all washed and shiny, so I can drive down to Goulburn tomorrow to get covered in bugs, me and the daughter will then head into Canberra for some lunch and shopping As for the Honda, it has had a clutch birthday at BYP (clutch, pressure plate, little bit of flywheel action, spigot bush, new fork, thrust bearing, and while they were in there a fresh rear main seal, and a new timing chain tensioner) Noticeable difference rowing gears at 7750 rpm, cuts shifts like a hot knife through butter Thought about throwing a Torsen LSD in the gear bag, but didn't, which is unlike me with my "while we're sort of in there" mentality Did some chatting with BYP IRT how strong the Honda engines, boxes and clutches are, IIRC they said they run some race cars with the stock K25Z3 engines and 6 speed boxes, even some with a little bit of boost I also asked how hard it would be to fit a little spooly boy that gives me another 100 hp and some dose for LOLS............. Not hard or that expensive really after chatting........🤪 Note to self: when having a quickish take off ensure that the traction control is off, as when it activates it cuts all power for what seems like about 3 seconds, I had the initial jump on a 8th gen Civic Type R until it decided to cut all of my powers when it single pegged, which gave Mark the instant sads New, "budget for the LOLS", possibly incoming for some Honda boost stuff...... and a LSD 🤪
  17. Valet mode? Do you have a aftermarket alarm Does your ECU have valet mode? I know some cars and alarms have them and you need to do some switch toggling to activate and deactivate If you do have an alarm google the brand and look for how to activate and deactivate it Or, as stated above, Cursed by a wandering gypsie, built on a pet cemetary, etc.
  18. Like my old 2009 Honda Accord....... Euro with dipping side mirrors I guess I am the quintessential male white privileged over opinionated elitist wanker Good times 🤪
  19. So, whilst the Bogan Cruise Ship is GTG, and I had organised some time today to go on the SAU NSW cruise, my best laid plans where kicked in the balls, well, kicked in my right knee to be exact Now, after a bit of arthroscopic "honing" and tibial band lengthening "modifications" , I'm sitting on a couch in a prescription induced drug haze, watching 5hit on the Youtubes and falling in and out of consciousness......good times
  20. To be fair, is a header, K&N air filter and flash tune really classed as "mods"? It's a sickness STOP PARTS SHAMING ME..... I'M SENSITIVE.......😪🤣
  21. To many issues and cost when you look into getting it to a reliable street car that is easily registered and insured I'm looking at something small, cool and fun that just works straight out of the box The Bogan Cruise Ship is my modified car that could possibly have issues at the drop of a hat For my sanity I only really need 1 modified car in my life
  22. I have always wanted another little "sports car" like the MX5 NB I had years ago, but, with more balls I've got the Commodore with lots of seats and power, same same for my Honda daily hack, well, it has lots of seats anyway I almost bought a NB MX5 Mazdaspeed (turbo) a while ago on a impulse buy, until I took it for a test drive, and remembered how slow they actually are Meh, first world male white privilege problems are real
  23. Just went for a spin in a mint 2009 BMW Z4 M manual convertible, I can see the appeal, classic sports car, looks great, minimalist interior, and heaps of power for a car weighing 1300kg, and sounds lovely reving to 8k rpm, the gearbag feel shifting was insane Just like a classic MX5, but with balls the size of coconuts A young guy at work just picked it up for $50k, with only 64k km on it, we took it for a quick thrash and I was super impressed with how it went And weirdly, no check engine lights came on, well....not in the 15 minutes we were laying into it If it wasn't my fear of all things Euro IRT electrical faults, oil leaks and all other documented issues surrounding all things Euro, I would definitely own one Note to self, Mark, NO....... NO, KEEP OFF CAR SALES YOU IDIOT
  24. Have you asked a Nissan stealership to see if they can get them Google has new OEM Infinity 999J2-JUOB4 and 999J2-JV0B4 in stock in 'Merica for around $75USD each Not sure how the part numbers and year models translate though
