Hey guys, can you throw some ideas at me in terms of what I should try and ask for my Birthday. Nothing too unrealistic. I'm not really into ipods or game consoles or any fad like stuff. So what is out there that would be a good idea? Cause at the moment I was just thinking clothes, because, I don't really care that much. But parents and friends keep saying "naaaah" it's your 18th, needs to be something special.. So.. any ideas guys?

Hows ths HSC goin man?

Im half way through mine too..

My friends got me an amp and sub for the 32.. that was cool..

It's going pretty well, I wrote a list down trying to narrow down ideas and sub and amp are up there.

I think I got a diff for my 18th.

I also got a some really good quality towels which I didn't appreciate much at the time but I've still got them and most certainly do now.

A party to remember is always good, with people you didn't expect to be there like interstate friends etc.

What do you like doing?

Working on your car? Some good quality tools last a lifetime and don't go when you crash/sell your car. (like my diff)

Eating? Get a bbq or a nice thai girl. :D

Like art? An etching or high quality print framed nicely. Even if you only 'don't know art but know what you like' there is usually something out there to be found if you look.

Travel? A super quality globe that spins and lights up and stuff.

A guitar.

A coffee table that every visitor wants to take home with them.

That tools idea is pretty good.. I just had this super cheap auto one, screw driver snapped when I tried to unscrew one of the bolts holding down my air box..

Have the HSC on.. 2 exams after my birthday.. Can't drink or do much like getting messy.

That sucks, lucky mine was at the start of the, year. Theres a few of us here on SAU sitting the HSC.

As for your 18th, i to got sick of the question, what do you want, what do you want, but then again you have to think of it as, hey these ppl are wanting to shower me with gifts =) i should get annoyed.

Hmmm if you have a party most ppl (like not your close mates) will part with $30, so just ask for liquar land valchours, or repco or somthing, thats what i got, or better still.

Just ask for case's of beer, or bottles of spirts, it can never hurt to stock up, regardless if your going to be able to drink them in the next few weeks.

sky diving..

nah..Not just yet, because they say once you do that, everything else is pretty bleak.

mmm, thats what were thinking about getting for one of my friends..

we should have a post hsc cruise.. when do you guys finish?

9/11 yes.. nine eleven

I started a thread inteh NSW section so we don't spam this up, a Post HSC cruise will be cool. What will be even better we all cruise to each others post HSC parties =) wooooooooo formal and HSC after parties, i can't wait =)

SCHOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS :):D:D

Hookers and crack. Lots of crack.

Seriously though? About $700 of keg beers (you can rent them) then a BBQ with heaps of meat - then invite everyone you know and stop when the supplies are gone. You wont forget it

    • I do believe from context he is talking about a S0/S1 R33 RB25 with associated ECU and Wiring for that, and a manual gearbox into a R34 N/A Auto. I don't have the knowledge of all the pinouts and such but my gut feeling from doing my own conversion is to use as much of the R33 stuff that you can. The "car" wiring is quite seperate from the "Engine" wiring when all things are considered. The only things to truly consider 99% of the time is the cluster, reverse lights and potentially disabling the 'not in P/N' immobilizer circuit.
    • A realistic expectattion of how long it has to last also comes down to.... when do you think you will be banned from registering and driving old petrol powered shitters? It's 27 years since that thing was built. It probably rusted out 15 years ago. It was probably repaired and looked OK for another 10. If you do a similarish bodge job now, or perhaps slightly better with some actual rust conversion and glassing, then.... get another 10-15 years out of it, after which you'll only be permitted by the CCP to drive electric cars manufactured in their Shenzen zone anyway. 
    • Let me assume that the concern over a manual ECU is that the NeoDET that you have was an auto and has an auto ECU. That ECU will not be a problem, but you WILL have to Nistune it. And you would have to Nistune it even if you had a manual ECU, because the turbo ECUs will shit the bed if they do not have all the things that they were told they have to have, to be happy. The big one being the TCS CU, which you won't have in your car. Anyway, with an auto ECU (which I have running my originally auto NeoDET in an R32) Nistune allows you to put in a Stagea image which doesn't panic about the absent TCS, and allows you to override a whle bunch of other annoyances that would otherwise see the check engine light on 100% of the time. Also, you can't wind up the power very far on the stock NeoDET ECUs without Nistune, because the boost sensor gets in the way. Nistune allows you to push that problem much further up the dial. Do you even have the boost sensor with the engine? Without it, you are SOL and will need an aftermarket ECU (or to find a sensor somewhere, god knows where). I can't tell you what the wiring loom differences are in a 34. But what Duncan said above needs to be considered. When you say "loom", does that include the transmission loom? Because you will need to swap out the auto tranny loom for the equivalent manual loom, and get rid of the neutral/park start interlock (basically hot wire it).
    • I have had the r3c in for years now, maybe close to 7 years and it has never missed a beat, anyone can drive it. Super easy to drive around town, the hotter it gets does get a little hard but it holds the power easy as 
    • Shit thing to find eh? I guess the big issue is that whatever "fix" you do now, it might slow the rust down but won't fix it. I just wanted to add that in no way is fixing sheet metal in 3 dimensions the place to start with welding....that is a pro only job because its too hard to work out where things should be, let alone doing a clean enough job that it can look OK and still be strong too.  I needed to get a new rear quarter panel on the GTR and it took a pro weeks to get the old one off cleanly, new one on in the right place and looking somewhat like it should have with most of the previous connecting panels in place. Gluing a couple of bits of metal together with a welder in the garage is doable, but that is totally different to doing panel  replacement
