awesome photo's TurboX. Amazed that you took photos and drove haha

Missfiring car (could be ignition module) + vibrating steering wheel (wheel balance) + car pulling to the left (wheel alignment) wasnt very fun to drive and wasnt keen on pushing it. Hence i was left off somewhere in the back haha

I think at one point i would have missed a turn if TurboX didnt slow down for the turn, not sure if that was intentional or not but you saved me getting lost (again) cheers :)

looks like a good cruise. I was planning on making it but, at least i've got a good excuse!

just came back from Adelaide with a new addition to the family :)

for me was a long cruise, but pretty boring with all the highway piggies around :)

Hey Mav, did your car make it all the way home without any dramas? :)

Ummm i think i'll go with no comment :)

I know where i need to make some changes to my cooler pipes lets say that but hey it would have looked NUTS shooting fireballs :)

Changed my plugs when I got home... might explain the misfiring problem

Shit, brings back bad memories... :thumbsup:

Looks like a great cruise, any cruises organised on Sundays???

Some people have to work 6 days a week you know!!!! :rolleyes:

Mav, the work wagon it was.. :-)

Patrick , if you mean the last turn almost to go up the mountain, your right - I would not have realised either, so hung back for you.

BTW you were not doing to bad, you kept up to me, but I was having trouble keeping with Tharaka! :rolleyes:

Some more memories..

haha ye i noticed that, thanks for that :rolleyes: Car couldnt be pushed due to missfire+wheel alignment :)

Your new car has some quick acceleration there, noticed it in a few places where you pulled away quick and left my rb20 in the dust :thumbsup:

Yeah its amazing the difference I notice with my GTS4 between the RB20 Torque Miser and the AMG V8 5.5 Torque Monster! :thumbsup:

If you have to compromise with the missus, its the way to go!

Especially the fact its silent and she doesnt notice the speed near as much! :)

Last of my pics....

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
