The Bogan

When I had my boat it was a 25/30 with a TO4Z, it made 500hp with a LINK and CAPS LOCK.

OK

Best people for pad questions are places like GSLRALLYSPORT. They will tell you what is best for your car for different conditions. They once told me not to use A1RM for street duties when I had the boat as initial cold bite isn't as good as others which may put you in a sticky situation when it comes time for some emergency braking on the street with cold brakes. Might mean the difference of missing a car or person by 1/2 meter or punching into a car or person for 1/2 meter. Ring and ask is my 2 cents.

It might be a tumour, LOL

Sleep and stuff. Plasma TV are the worst from what I am told, but any bright thing be it TV or other bright screens will screw with your melatonin. Turn off and tune out at least 2 hours before bed. Don't have a big meal before bed. Swap out your high wattage globes around the house where you relax, low wattage in the loo as well, it only takes a short burst of bright light to put you into day mode. No TV or computers in your bed rooms, the bed room is a place for sleep and the only entertainment should be sexy time. Another good thing with this is you end up talking to and interacting with your family members instead of being a zombie staring at a screen which is another health benefit. Remember the old adage of "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy wealthy and wise". I feel sorry for shift workers that constantly work between 10pm and 6am , that is the most unnatural and unhealthy way to live. Me, I wakeup at least twice a night for a piss (no I don't have prostate cancer), I'm old and drink a shit tin of water.

Best mod for a n/a Skyline is to save money and buy something good later when your not limited by your licence. The car is to heavy, you will never achieve a good power to weight ratio. Put it this way, you can spend 10k to get 50hp on a n/a, while winding another 5 psi will net the same but cost a boost controller and tune on a boosted motor. Best mod would be tyres, handling. Unless your rich and can afford to piss money away.

BTW, I use RDA slotted and dimpled rotors, the slots and dimples give the gases that build up on the face of the pad somewhere to go, thus increasing the friction efficiency. Or so the story goes. Plus the price is right when you can find them on sale on fleabay for $250 a set of front and rear delivered.

I got mine online from eziauto parts.

1,3 Dimethylbutylamine, DMBA, also known as AMP citrate. Its on the ASADA website.

Have a look at the specs of the TRW pads compared to the QFM ones. Also have a look at what the TRW pads come with standard. From my experience they are the best "street pad" I have ever used. And they are fairly cheap if you Google around. As for the A1RM pads squealing, I believe its due to light braking when on street duties, when mine started squealing I would "bed them in again" and they would be fine for while. And for the street the TRW have much better initial bite. A1RM are rated to 750 IIRC whilst the TRW are rated to 650. And always install new rotors if you are changing pad compounds.

Just did some reading up, no wonder my face was tingling. Trust me to try something that has been found to make your brain bleed, give you high blood pressure and chance of stoke. Apparently its big with truckers and miners. No wonder it helped me get my rage on, I was on a drug fuelled happy fun slide. You can still get it if you don't mind the risk of death and/or having a stroke. Looks like its back to a strong coffee and banana for my pre-workout.

BN pre-workout has had a disclaimer thrown on it, it seems it has stuff that gives a positive drug reaction. I got some a while ago to see how pre-workouts were, as I get tested at work it looks like Ill have to bin it. On the BN stuff I had to cut the dosage to 2 grams mixed 10 grams of their BCAA, anymore and if taken after 1200 I would be up half the night. I did notice that the pre lift rage was easier to achieve when taking the 2 grams, 5 grams made my face tingle, LOL.

Grabbed some TRW Dtec pads installed on new RDA discs for the 5. Excellent grip from cold to hot, rated to 650deg so OK for a couple of happy laps. The Dtec is some low dust technology. Haven't tracked with them yet but they have not missed a beat in all road conditions. And no squealing. My opinion; Eats Bendix SRT alive Better that A1RM for mixed use as they are better from cold than them, don't sqeal and have less dust (the A1RM is a higher rated pad though) DISCLAIMER: The 5 doesn't really go fast enough for brakes anyway, LOL.

I gave it a go for a couple of months, didn't notice anything at all. Sorry, I did notice something, it was money wasted.

Heavy overhead BB press Alternating overhead DB press Hand stand pushups I do those one handed fly things for my rotator cuff

Scored a brilliant soft top of a NA, the rear window has a zipper so now I have a flow of air through the car.

Yeah I was stupid, it was taking up space so I got rid of it. I'm trying to do a straight swap with someone. I've had a few hopeful inquiries but most want to swap a torn up soft top with holes in it for the hard top. I can get one in good nick second hand for $500 complete with frame and rails, I may be better of selling it and then buying one but I thought that swapping would be the easiest way, my loss their gain. I'm willing to take a small hit for convenience but I'm not stupid (well not really stupid, maybe, don't ask the missus because she will most likely say I am) Give me convenience of give me death!

I want a soft top, someone give me a soft top

Roof vent go on

I would say the mechanic would be in the clear, I've seen lots of 1 year old cars that are thrashed, interiors torn up and paint destroyed that look much older than they are which will most likely fall apart and be in the wreckers in another year. Its the way people drive and look after their cars, these new disposable cars are built to minimum standards no matter how much you love your brand or model. Hitting speed humps at speed, hitting gutters and lack of maintenance are more of a issue I believe. Hell, even bashing the curbs at the track and doubling the power isn't the best thing for your car and its undercarriage or chassis. As for the dodgy salesmen, well how can you prove who did it, the company may be liable but they may say the speedo was faulty so the replaced it, AND, what about me when I wanted a NISMO 300kph dash, the boat went from 170k to 60k. I told the guy its got a new dash but that was a few owners ago, is it my responsibility to search for new owners and inform them. What happens when the cluster fails and you get a new one, is it then your responsibility to inform every owner. I suppose the moral of the story is a high klm car that has been maintained is worth more that a low klm car that has been neglected or abused.

I forgot I got this so I threw it on for a look, I needed to trim it up a bit and I put a sticker on it so it works better.

Excellent work Matt

I binned my latest airbox again, I want this or something like it now

Timing belt and major service done, no more leaky cam seals. New rotors and brakes in. I want to take a trip to the states and pick up some parts, will end up way cheaper than buying from Australia even after the cost of flights and accommodation.

Spend how much on a old Jap mass produced car that you are not happy with, not what I would call good sense, how much are they worth now?. There are lots of options out there for having your cake and eating it, Small = Toy 86/BRZ/Audi TT, Med = Nis 350Z ect ect, pissing money away isn't one. I spent a bucket (>50k) on my old boat over the years, made >500hp fasted 2wd at Nats, in the end sold for about 14k. I got jack of it breaking all the time, eating gearboxs, and heavy on consumables, fuel was about 25l/100k. But I drove it as a daily because it was fun and I'm not going to have a good car sitting in the garage whilst I drive a taxi, that would be like not screwing your missus because you don't want to wear her out. Plus I'm having more fun in a 80kw car that has cost less than 10k to get sorted ATM, handles like a go kart, great on fuel, doesn't break stuff.
