i was only kiddin, i acutally wanna learn japanese myself.

im no mechanic but i work in spare parts at Crow Cams so i get to learn alot off the guys there,especially because we do alot of work for companies like JPC,Rajabs and other big companies like Fords and holden. Also i didnt even know what a skyline was 2 years ago LOL no i just cant get enough of them but yeah theres a alot of really cluey people in here and we should thank them all

:flamed: sorry mate I just hate it when it feels like people are being arrogant towards my passion in life >> that is, speaking japanese. mannn im gona ace the HSC in 2 and 3 unit jap this year !!! japan here i commmmme :):D:D

About a year ago I didn't know hardly anything about turbos...and i still don't :)

Having only owned your boring beaten up old n/a's, and having own my R33 for less than a year.. the amount of things I have learned in here is phenominal - saved me 1000's probably too over the time both in the purchase of my car and and making intelligent decisions regarding all aspects of it keeping it going. As they say..

Scienta Est Potentia

(knowledge is power)

 

'chichiki' wa nan darouka? sukoshi wakarinikui ...  

chichiki no koto wa eigo de setsumei shte kudasai

hai! , gomen nasai...... totemo wakari-nikui :mad:

chichiki=chishiki :( (knowledge. information etc)

watukashi wa chotto skyline chichiki desu

i/myself is a little skyline knowledge!

the sentence structure isnt the best hey :mad:

watashi wa meruborne umare desu

Lauren  

Oregato!!

totemo kawaii! :D

watashi wa meruborne umare desu

mmm, its umaremashita (was born) ... :(

and to say "i know a little bit about skylines" would be:

skairain no koto ga sukoshi shitteimasu.

what you said was more like "I am a little bit skyline knowledge" hehe

hope that helps :D

damn :)

yeah i didnt know the exact sentence structuring for the knowledge part so i just created my own :D

school will soon help me out as im studying japanese very heavily for the next couple of months to prepare me for when i move to japan late this year.

i have a nice vocabulary however need to learn the different sentencing techniques, noun to noun wa etc etc

:)

Sorry, can't say this in real japanese so I'll use engrish:

In the battle heat were are defeating lack of knowledge thru the imposition of the FAQ section:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/fo...p?s=&forumid=57

Your additions to the battle are appreciated.

i can say i have around 100 or so magazines in my room which i constantly read over and over and learn stuff that way.. i started get interested in cars in year 12 and from then on it was cars cars cars.. probably why i didnt do too well.. i read a lot of technical stuff on forums no matter what its to do with.. doing stuff/mods to your own car helps the most also helping mates with their cars goes along way.. japanese = jibberish to me.. still i bought a couple of option magz... for the pics haha :D

all my knowledge (which probably isnt that much) has either been learnt by huge amounts of research on skylines and cars in general or my dad, he's no mechanic but know's his shit when it comes to cars and if he doesnt my best friends dad is an A grade mechanic who loves working on nething with an engine and is always happy to help me out when i have problems. A big thanx to everyone here that are willing to share there knowledge.

Cheers

John

i started get interested in cars in year 12 and from then on it was cars cars cars.. probably why i didnt do too well..

lol thats why im limiting my involvement with cars this year. with the way my grades are going, and the school that i go to (selective), i know im going to be living in japan within half a decade for sure. maybe ill drop by to the forum every now and then when im livin it up in osaka and say:

nihon kara oisatsu (greetings from japan!) :D

Hey Badman:

Itsu Nihon ni ikitai? Nihon de sumu wa basho ga kimatta? Osaka to Kobe o sugoi osusumeru! Sore wa boku no ikken dake... demo zettai Nihon wa dokodemo ii yo!

I think most experince from cars comes from the "hands on" approach, just get out there and do it... and cry about your financial position later!

Hey Stang:

Thats one thing I`ve been meaning to check out. How much do people pay for Option/Option2 in Oz? I can pick em up for 500yen (A$6.17) a piece, theyre heavy bastards, so freight is gonna be a factor, but I think I could get out of it for $15-20(??) a copy...

    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
