ive had my 33 for 7 years now

it's done 23,000 each year since i got it

broken radiator

coilpacks died

alternator replaced

diff is grumpy

usual wear and tear - clutches, tyres

37% more power than stock and held up pretty well considering

hehe. I'm in a similar situation but not. I've had my Pulsar for 7 years. Done a bit less than 10,000kms per year as it spends most of it's life off the road.

I've broken well...EVERYTHING.

Should be making 200-210fwkw with the manual behind it. Bit of an increase over the 50fwkw it had stock.

Well done :domokun: That's impressive!

What's it like having so much power at the front wheels in such a small car?

What brakes have you got on there? Stock? Coz if so then I know what you mean by 'stopping is the hard part' ;)

Sort of stock. Front and rear calipers and disks upgraded to SSS items (single piston, but a fair amount bigger.) The car came with a drum brake rear end and piddly little front calipers stock. It could do with better brakes but they still pull it up okay (even from 200kmp/h+) and I have other priorities.

Poles help?

Arse :laugh:

Poles stop cars very quickly, much more effective than 8-Pots :D

web development, I'm guessing its the same thing Pat's goin for but a more junior role?

nah mines for a graduate engineering position in a flexible plastic packaging manufacturing company. (beer wrapping on 6packs and cadbury wrappers etc)

The tests were pretty lol, the maths questions were overwhelming haha

Ah well, will see what I got next week and if move to 3rd stage which is another interview zzzz

i wouldnt stress too much re: getting the answers correct

i mean obviously there is merit testing your technical and maths etc for general assesment

but sometimes they give you bullshit ones where there is no correct answer

they do this to see your lateral thinking and problem solving tactics, even though there is no correct answer

ive done this a few times when interviewing techs, give them a problem and provide multiple choice where all the answers are wrong

the guy who stands one is the one who scribbles near it trying to debunk the correct answer and goes on to discuss the possible causes etc, the ones you dont want just circle an answer or leave it blank

lol at men in black.

Yeah, will see how it goes.

On another note, my dad blew up his mitsubishi express van engine.

Does anyone know where to get a replacement engine or another van? I see hundreds of them on the roads yet there is nothing on ebay, carsales, carpoint, autotrader.

I guess people selling them are old tradies and dont bother advertising online.. Where would be the best place to search for these vans? Probably notice boards at pubs or something haha

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
