Awesome stuff Shell. Money saved for mods and you'll feel better. I felt so much better after 12 years smoking up to 1-1/2 packs a day that within 3 years I had won a silver medal at the national cycling championships. I still like an occasional Havana but only on real special occassions.

Now how do I quit having a stuffed back????

hooray for shellypants :)

been about 6 months for me (quite a heavy smoker) feel pretty good

well done lovely

aww thanks jimbo and well done to you too!... 6 months is great, do you still have cravings?

and i have question for you, or anyone else who's quit...

Did you get sick??

Cos seriously....within one week of quitting I got a fluey head cold type thing - had to take a day off work... then it seemed to get *a bit* better and then last Friday it came back REALLY bad and I had heaps runny nose and got a cough so bad that I almost lost my voice :(

After talking to a couple of guys at work who have quit, they're all like "oh yeah, you get really sick" :)

I feel like I've had the flu for about a month now :mad: and I'm not the type that usually gets sick ever!

SkyGTRline & Frink.. well done!!! GO TEAM!

I'll be checking back to make sure you haven't caved in!!

well I have finally done it!! I'm sooo proud of myself!!!

It's been about 5 weeks so far and I've been through all the hard tests like drinking alcohol, and sitting around (at BBQs, pubs etc) while other people are smoking.

So, has anyone else here quit?? How long did you smoke for and how did you go about giving it up?

I quit for 8 months, I was sitting around @ the pubs, BBQ's etc all the time and drinking without smoking.. but I started up again..

Not to say you are not doing good.. ( GO SHELL!! heeh ) but it's an ongoing fight for a while.. I'll be quiting again soon I hope.

I got sick about 2 weeks after quiting, most people I know do/did

Yeah I smoke, have been for a few years... I know I should quit but I cant motivate myself to do it....

I think I'll have to set a date and stock up on patches

Its starting to be pain in the ass to smoke as well, cant do it at pubs, clubs, anywhere......I think Im gonna quit just because Its not worth going outside for a choof

I am so glad that they put all these restrictions in place i am sure for smokers it's a pain in the ass but sorry to say i don't care :) i can deal with people drinking as it doesnt effect me but when I come home stinking of smoke whenever i went out get's annoying and is gross :D

oh well i have sort of learned to live with it in most places but i am glad they got rid of it in food areas at the jerra pub

:(

id quit not this wed but the one before so... bout a week and a half..

Went out last night... Got totaly smashed... and did have a few smokes...

:O Does this count...

it's ok... lots of people have a little relapse! don't think "stuff it i may as well just give up another time now"

just put it behind you!! :( good luck!!

I'm happy about the new laws too!! makes it easier for me!!

and if you think these laws are bad you should go to QLD... their new laws are you can't smoke anywhere, not even in the outside bits (like beer gardens etc). Even at the races I went to you couldnt smoke on the huge grass lawns, it sucked!! I think that's a bit harsh...you should be able to smoke outside.

    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update 
    • The manual says a lot about the different ratios requiring different shafts. all the Centers are the same but depending on the ratio, this determines the shafts because different ratios need the center to be offset more or less or right to left.
    • those 2 sets of shafts will not interchange and if you’re lucky you haven’t damaged anything with all your pressing and bashing you said you’ve done 
    • Freshly built stroked RB25/28. Motor runs great but consumes a lot more oil then It should. This summer with the heat I was consuming roughly a quart per 1800-2000kms. Now with the cold weather coming in, I'm consuming a quart per 1000kms which is no bueno. I had originally chalked this out to break in taking a little longer then it should, but I'm now around 4000km's on this engine. I think it's fair to say something isn't quite right. Here's the kicker, can't find what's causing it. I've also spoken to my engine builder and Precision Turbo and can't figure it out. Here's my train of thought on possible causes and what I've done.  Precision Turbo - I originally started thinking my oil pressure might be a tad too high for my 6466 Gen2. I took the center cartridge out, and while yes there's signs of oil on the turbine heatshield, it's very moderate. There's also very minor in/out play that concerns me. I sent pictures and videos to precision and they said the residue and in/out play is minimal and they doubt this is the issue. For piece of mind, I went ahead and installed a Turbosmart OPR V2 to bring oil pressure down. Made no difference. Precision is willing to take it in on RMA for an inspection and I'll probably take them up on that offer for peace of mind. BTW. Is it just me or does the turbines inducer's look clipped and not even between each other? I just noticed this now while posting and looking at the picture zoomed in. Might just be the picture...  Rings - Hot compression test and leak down test look good. Compression is 160 +-2psi across the board. I leak down at 16% on cyl 1,2,3,5,6 and 18% on cyl4. Keep in mind I have a snap on leak down tester and they read high (I.E, 15% on my wifes 2018 Sentra with 70000kms). Sparkplugs show minimal oil (Only #4 seems to have a tad). At a quart per 1000km's though, I would be expecting them to be wet. Here's the kicker, I run WMI. I'm thinking what if my compression rings are great, but I have an oil control ring issue on cyl4 and my WMI is steam cleaning the pistons and sparkplugs? I can still see the "Spool" logo on top of my CP pistons. The only time I see smoke out of the exhaust is in the high rpm/load range. So far, this is my main culprit. I'll probably turn off my WMI and go out with the car at spring pressure tomorrow and repull the plugs. Other thing that's strange though is that I have never seen any oil in my catch can. Thing is still dry after 4000kms. Cyl1 - Left, Cyl6 - Right. Valve seals - They're new and I would expect oil consumption on idle, first cold start or during decel. None of which is happening.  Crankcase pressure - I have 2x 10an valve cover lines to a vented catch can. Head drain and opened up internal oil drain paths. I also don't run E85. I've never seen any oil in my catch can. Doubtful this is causing any issues.  Rear main seal - I have no visible leaks, but figured maybe it was my rear main seal. After now having added 2-3 quarts, I would expect oil to leak out the bottom drain channel and/or my clutch to be slipping.  Let me know your thoughts. With winter coming and taking the car off the road until spring, I'm fine with pulling the motor apart but I would hate to take it all apart and the turbo was the issue in the end.
