enjoy

but some really bad stuff happened. :D the shock is still sinking in

went into this carpark at glenny station and connected to it is another car park. looking straight on it looked flat, BUT it was infact slanted like a hill and i didn't see it. End result cracked front bar already. Pretty bad, i'm quite depressed about it being first day and all. The front is too low, it scrapes too much, even in driveways, its about 12.5cms off the ground. sigh is there anyway i can get this without changing the springs.

i can handle the damage and live with it, but i just dunno how to explain it to my mum. If you look in the pics you can see the two cracks in the middle, even the right indicator fell off.

how much would it cost to repair something like this.?

thanks:o

heheh, welcome to the world of aftermarket frontbar meet driveway humps tragedy!

12.5cms not too bad, you just need to drive more carefully and not to trust any driveway/carpark entrances.

if your car's been lowered, best bet is to change spring and raise it back to factory height. I don't see any other way, except you have an aftermarket height adjustible coilover suspensions.

u wanted a 400R bar, and got a GTR and all u can say is, "oh well" ?????

dude, u wanted a 400R, i'm assuming u paid for it, u should bloody well get it.

oh.... nice car, those p plate stickers look mean.... what they add, bout 100rkw's??? :P

hey looks good chop!! now we can sort out a date for the meet

Can't wait inark, but still gotta settle some minor details first like insurance and then I'll be all set

Why are u scared of ur parents seeing the cracks?

Yes of course! they barely let me get the car you know!

u wanted a 400R bar, and got a GTR and all u can say is, "oh well" ?????

hehe actually I didn't pay for it, he said he would change it for me for free but i guess he didn't have any left, but damn my wheels are shocking, gotta repaint them.

Hey Chopobo, were you at glenny tonight, i thought i saw a r33 like yours parked in front of the chinese restaurant at the bus stop???

yeap that was most likely me in front of that chinese restaurant near lucky cup. i left when this woman gave me a greasy look. very uncomfortable. im not going there again.

Nice car chop.. you can try weilding your crack then a respray..

eh? how do you weld plastic?

i dun think i can do it myself. prolly get someone to do it. how much would it cost?

is it cheaper jus changing the whole front bar?

chop first time i took my car home from the importer i couldnt even get it up my driveway no matter what angles i tried, and yes i ***ing cracked the front of my 400r bar on the first day 2. My car was so farking low the front bar used to touch on speed humps even if i went fully sideways on em, i had to leave my car at my gfriends house for the first 2 days i had it. I ended up going back to the importer and changing the springs, now it just touches a little on the way out of my driveway.

U live preety close to me hope to see u on princess highway so we can have a run :P

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
