Patrick, this what I was told but probably something worse, should have bought something else...

... Or take up new hobby

does it only happen when cold? unplug the IAC plug and see if the idle changes.

i see what you did thurr haha

grr i hate my car, no one responded to my rant last night about it. sad life

Surely it can't be that bad. What do you hate about it?

Haven't you just errrr, 'invested' a whole bunch of cash into it? Surely it should be keeping you satisfied ALL THE TIME. Kinda like when you 'invest' in diamonds for your girlfriend...I mean, she'll pretty much have to right?

Lol, my gtr gives me problems too, currently its a hunting idle, and a dodgy clutch pedal feel, sometimes hard, sometimes soft, like a dick.

but i'm 7000+kms away from my car and i can't give a f**k, she'll buff right out, except that EPA notice...

i painted the dash in the evo recently cause it was all scratched from previous owner

went adark gunmetal and turned out awesome, id recommend the colour to go with white to

in the sun its got some nice silver specks in it :)

Oh that sounds awesome. Basically I want to give the impression that the painted pieces were a factory thing, know what I mean?

Like in my mate's silvia. Half teh dash is black (like my '33), but there are silver / gunmetal parts throughout and it looks really modern and classy instead of single-colour conservative black like mine is right now.

I love when that happens. Once I woke up in a completely different suburb after an insane night out and had more money in my pocket than when I started the night.

Just pulled the condom out of my arse and merrily walked home.

he bought it 3 days ago..

At this point, I could be tempted but I'd have to buy something other than skyline (had 6 of them) but no idea what I'd like to get though.

got a price in mind if you were to sell? yeah you need a change lol

Dude, I think exactly the same sometimes. There's just so many of them around it's nigh on impossible to be unique lol.

yeah well this looks factory, but better than what the evo's came out with

it was Holts Dupli-Color

DSS703 - Charcoal Grey Metallic

I used 2 cans for the dash, and gearshift surrounds was a sorta big area

    • Thanks Komdotkom, I would take you up on that offer, but the cost of shipping to NZ would be horrible. 
    • So what I hear from Rob and Mark is, Matt needs to stay the hell away from your places when you choose to do cleanups, for fear my hoarding will get worse, as Ill likely find things to suit some of the projects I want to build... As for ditching stuff like Mark does, I wish I could do it so easily mate, but lots of my spares are for the R33 and I'm slightly attached to them...   However, I was staring at the pile of subs, 2 for the car, 2 for a home audio system and thinking I'll likely just ditch those... That's. A lot of space back...   I must hurry up and finish the Subaru, and then the skyline... That's probably get some space back...   But my main take away is, other than big plastic tubs, and some sort of categorising what you have in each, no one has found a good solution, that takes up the minimal amount of space possible?   And Rob, I've been wanting a mezzanine, and have been tempted to put one in, but I'm borderline not enough height, and secondly, I hate heights! (No good spot for stairs, so it'd either be fold up stairs, or a ladder, of which I hate ladders and can't carry the bigger stuff up).
    • If they are a standard parts that have been replaced with a new, or better part, they mainly go in the recycling bin at home if there's room, or into the metal or big rubbish bin at work Saying this, I have gifted or sold some random stuff over the years, but, if they don't sell, or aren't given away within a month or so, they hit the bin I use to keep everything, to give away when I sold a car or bike, but typically people didn't want the parts, and the garage, shed, and other storage areas would fill up with parts, that got old and keeping stuff for the sake of keeping stuff was not the best use of space I do still have a big box full of all sorts of nuts, bolts, washers and brackets though, which come in handy... "every few years" and typically only for other peoples projects 
    • @Duncan for the antennas for the 4G booster, send me a photo of the connection type it uses, and what sort of bands it picks up on, and a photo of the existing antenna itself. I have some interesting ones coming into work soon that may suit your needs really really well AND stop you drilling holes in the roof.
    • I did a pretty ruthless clean up before I left townsville. If it wasn't a part to suit a car I currently have it was sold or binned. I have all my stuff organised in big tubs with lids that stack from supercheap and bunnings depending on who was cheaper at the time. Parts were sorted by either chasis/motor/Fabrication/general/electrical. I have a mezzanine that's 7mx2.3m and all lives up there. Easy to access when needed and out of the way.  I also have the issue of selling and dealing with scumplace/marketbook was actually going to list stuff today but couldn't be bothered as been stuffed around too much. I generally let a few people know I want to off load stuff and people pass it on to others to contact me, generally easy sale and I'm never looking to make big dollars. Rather it gets used than go in the bin. Next clean up will be around Xmas and if doesn't go on the s15 it's going bar 2 sets of wheels.
