anyone get a text a couple of days ago goign on about autotune being on tv and using their services

autotune? there was a segment on todaytonight about ultratune which scammed some people. They did a test where they disconnected an injector plug to create a miss and then took the car to a bunch of mechanics. The ultratunes they took them to slugged them $400-$500 to fix the problem lol

Some places like kmart auto just plugged back the plug and free of charge.

Found it all lols

fkn why does meguires, autoglym etc release so many different types of polishes and waxes. Not only that, they all have stupid names and vague descriptions and you can only know how good they are after you use them.

2 coats of Meguires SwirlX and a coat of Autoglym Super resin polish with a buffer and it barely cut anything. Need moar cutting powar.

Use the inbuilt media player to play DivX etc over NFS and SAMBA shares.

Fix the Media Player bug in all Sammy's where the controls don't fit on the screen.

Add aspect ratios (Sammy's don't allow you to play mvoies off USB/network as anything other than Original and Fit)

Change subtitle colour and location.

Access service menu's (so you can fine tune picture and audio signal sync etc)

hmmmm... mine will be hooked up to a PS3 or 360 so fitting to the screen wont be an issue. Most of the movies and tv shows i have are either 720 or 1080p anyway.

still doesnt seem to be worth the risk.

around the 200 mark.. but chef's dont get OT

yeah my aunty was a head chef for many years... she worked some very long hours... was crazy. She was crazy too lol like most chefs i suppose

Between 10k and 11k according to the ATOs tax calculator, assuming a 40 hour week that's about $40 an hour for each hour worked

sounds about right... pretty sure his normal take home would be in the 3.5 - 4k range. We work 37.5 hour weeks.

back in the day when i used to wash n polish my cars i'd use Autoglym 03B Fine Abrasive to cut (using a variable 600 to 1200rpm polisher, wet polisher if you can afford it) then wax with mothers carnauba wax. low rpm mostly so as not to burn the clearcoats, and constantly mist with water... better if you have a lackey to mist for you.

no need to cut that often, i do it once a year. claybar instead before waxing if you're not cutting.

Well i now have 0 points got done for 92kmp/h in a 80 zone and not having a licence on me.

My own fault really i could of got done for more but the cop was nice even said sorry for ruining your day [thanks :)]

i could of got done for No seatbelt, no licence, no p plates, and over the speed limit. if i wasn't driving the misses car i would of only got done for over the speed limit :D i keep licence and p plates in my car.

Oh well only got myself to blame sooooo what are the options for me now do i have to start riding my bike to work or am i able to drive on 0 points ?

i shall make a thread claiming that the cops are stupid and are complete dickheads and they shouldn't of fined me and what not (seems to be the going trend on here)

Anyone know if r33 series 2 coilpacks are the same as r34 neo coilpacks?

do you mean 1996 to 1997 r33 series 2

or late 1997 to early 1998 series 2?

1997 to 1998 from memory may have ER34 coilpacks anyway

ie the plugs and loom is a bit different

but 1996 to 1997 won't fit

If you've got an external HDD you can just plug that into the USB slot...

Aren't you just a data entry guy there? Hardly IT

Nah, I'm moving up in the company brother :) The boss is very pleased with my work... so gave me a pay rise from $15 to $20 :ermm:

I'm hoping it will go up when I hit 21. Doubt it though.

At the moment I just throw TV shows/movies onto a USB stick and watch em off that, but when I move out and set it all up properly I'll take the 1TB HDD off my PC which has all my shows/movies on it anyway, and hook it up to the TV permanently..

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
