  1. I'll have you know my errors are comedic and cute, bringing endearment to my wacky ways. His was obviously a serious security breach which ruins families. I do not do such things. But it does go to show you the best AV is common sense and knowing how to computer.
  2. I work in IT. Colleague next to me cryptolockered his own machine. Lols were had.
  3. Unfortunately you can't do that, I have been in this exact situation in the past. The GTT Ecu will not run the GT gearbox unless you do some wiring. It's not actually that hard (think 20 wires that run from the separate gearbox controller need to be wired into the GTT ECU) but finding someone that will know this and do this took me literal years. The piggyback in this situation is the 'best' idea but in ALL SERIOUSNESS I would be doing EITHER: a) Aftermarket ECU for the Engine AND aftermarket ECU for the gearbox - no. Just... no. (this is what I did, the auto NA box is just shit.. b) GTT Engine, Manual Gearbox c) GTT Engine, TURBO Auto Gearbox (and wiring!) c) Un-turbo the current car and sell stock and buy b). It may not seem like any of these options are fun. They aren't. But they are going to be the least-painful options available. If it were me, I would be absolutely un-turboing the car and starting again. But you are about to run headlong into a massive
  4. Skylines are not great P plater cars. Go a Honda. Something type R or S2000 or Clio RS or MX5 (or MX5 turbo if power/weight is your thing, but who looks under a MX5 anyway). Way more fun to be had there.
  5. Thus SAU equilibrium is maintained, otherwise me dealing directly with Moh would result in luck and bad decisions dividing themselves by zero
  6. The above fitment is something I am also interested in.. maybe with a 265 or suitable on it though. Please do advise. I'm quite a way off buying rims just yet.
  7. Hamish or other knowledgable people. Lot of talk here regarding 18x9+30 in the front of a R34 GTT or GTST. GTR Rims, sizing etc. Lot of people run thin tyres on them, which 'fit' Can you fit a 265 tyre on a 18x9+30 rim at the front of a 34 GTT? Does it need guard work? Does it scrub? Etc etc. Basically want the most tyre I can fit in there. For bonus query, I plan to run about -3deg camber at the front, and have about 355mm center of wheel to guard. /shake fist at all you tyre stretching people skewering results.
  8. One of the best things about my job is demanding info as to how people fell for cryptolocker. The regrets are just so audible.
  9. Focus RS. Also still waiting for that economic right/socially progressive party... any day now..
  10. I had koyo and had an asi. Asi warped like a mofos over 3-4yrs but did not leak. Koyo is just better. Do you want to overheat when giving it a ton on a hot day or would you prefer to never worry?
  11. 60% of the time it works every time
  12. The 6'5" person I mentioned is also 110kg, so.. Also: f**k it take the roof off then!
  13. When I sell/smash R34/convince GF to upgrade to it.
  14. MX5 SE only has like 100rwkw, with a tune they are 165ish which is about the limit of the block, but.. for the lols, it'd rock! I can't honestly say I'd rather drive a 400rwkw skyline over a 165rwkw MX5 in doing a track day/hill run/going to the shops, etc. I am 6'2 but my friend is 6'5" and fits into a MX5 with no issues. It's all in the seat and where you set it. There is a SUPRISING amount of room, unless you are literally the mountain, you can fit in a MX5. I also would prefer a SE with a chip over a S2000 - the MX5 is just simple, easy, and smaller/lighter than the S2000 and going off "the forams" it seems that at the limit the MX5 handles a lot better than the S2000 does. Parts are cheaper, easier to find, so much knowledge, cheap, small, simple, etc etc. And most importantly.... fun
  15. To be fair my only experience was due to gf wanting to get into cars and "What would you recommend?" And I said MX5 for all the reasons everyone always 'says' MX5 though I had never driven one. Then I did, and I'm like ... this is the most fun little car ever. There's a wild amount of support for parts through pages like http://www.mx5mania.com.au Just... SO EASY to get parts, bolt on, info is everywhere. Given a stock one makes like 60rwkw, having 165rwkw with some sticky tyres would be an absolute blast, these things are just toys after all, if you focus on FUN instead of being fully sick and super cool looking man it's hard to beat the little MX5. But yeah I still feel silly stepping out of one, the stigma is real. (but entirely undeserved)
  16. I actually got lucky charms from Naples in the car now. They are a very superstitious people. I also prayed at a Shinto temple for my car too. Doesn't seem to help much. Temptation is strong to sell and buy supra/mx5 turbo/something else, but car actually is quite good, just less than the sum of its parts due to something always being almost working. That said, did go for a ride in a 400awkw well sorted GTR with about 50k spent on it, all done at Racepace and thought "meh, I prefer mine actually" so it's not like it's a complete bucket when running.
  17. Sounded like a manifold leak but not ticking, just a weird... sound. Could actually be an exhaust leak from the actual exhaust because I may have hit the flex join on a few things but you know, check everything. Fixed hose clamp going to gate from exhaust housing on turbo. You could move the band around previously so clearly it could be better sealed. Removed and new bolt after cutting the original bolt off with a hacksaw because long story. Howly sound and better feeling engine/spool so assumed fixed. Just makes a loud sound now. Didn't make any kind of sound before fixing the vband. Maybe always broken. Maybe not. Dropped dump pipe and intake, had a look, spun wheels around, clearly not making contact and all the fins appear to be intact, etc. Its more the intermittent nature of it that makes no sense, I've had leaks and manifold to turbo gaskets go etc, and it SOUNDS like that but all of those don't mysteriously stop making sound at 7psi. I will borrow a gopro and make a video cause everything on the net seems to imply it shouldn't be possible, but hey, not like the limits of reality has ever contained this car's ongoing problems.
  18. I don't really know what it is, pretty confident there's no boost leaks (sadly I have become very very very intimate with my charge pipes and clamps and silicon joiners and they are all replaced). Just sounds like a big WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO as its spooling but no sound when actually making boost. The car sounds naturally aspirated from 7psi to 25psi which is really quite weird feeling. Just very much when the turbo is spinning up, but I wouldn't say its surge because you can hear the turbo spinning *down* after you come off throttle and you are around -15/20mmhg, which is just flat out strange. In b4 turbine blown out of exhaust or compressor wheel in intake valves, but of course both the wheels look perfect and have no play.
  19. I tightened it and heard a mild howl.... and now it's become a massive howl. Perhaps the fail is backing up now.
  20. Random car broken wtf problem. Turbo howls when in vacuum (between -10mmhg and 0) and then stops at about 6psi and then sounds normal. No, it is not the exhaust drowning it out. How can this be a thing. All I have done is tighten the v-band that is connected to the external gate (which is off the housing), but the problem happens at a point where the gate isn't even in play.
  21. I did True and it kind of locks you into that one thing but gosh damn if I wasn't happy to have my wideband setup and ready to go in about two actual minutes with no wiring. With the amount of work that goes into cars, seeing something literally plug and play and just work was pretty damn sweet for the extra $15 it cost
  22. Why don't you think it's a GT3076?
  23. This NSX just missed the mark as homage to the old one. Just feels like there needs to have been 3 cars in between them to see them as part of the same thing.
  24. Nah it obviously wasn't the ECU's fault. The car was tuned on 24psi. But it's saved me in multiple cases, like say 18psi when the cells weren't so well mapped. I've since fixed boost leaks etc. This changes tune. I've changed exhausts. This may change the tune. I've also had a clogged fuel filter setting off engine protection due to lean. Point being was, car felt fine in all of these cases but wasn't. Infact, it was dangerously lean. I'd never choose an ECU without that function for saving a couple hundred bucks. Auto logging when the car does something weird is a god send. The features only seem un-necessary until you benefit from them once, and then they become must-haves.
