Hello.

This is my first time posting and i feel a little silly.

I drive an r34 and unfortunately i do not know a lot about it. My boyfriend was the one who knew what to do, where to go, what to buy and he is not longer in my life.

I would be very grateful to find someone that would be willing to help me out. Be happy to answer any stupid questions i have or help me with problems, especially someone in the Launceston area.

I don't want to have to sell it because i love driving it and i don't want to have to ask the ex for help. Plus i don't want to be that stupid girl that knows nothing about her car.

I would greatly appreciate any help.

P.s Project Dark Winter was the log in that my ex created forever ago, not sure how to change it :(

Welcome to the forum PWD, as the others have already pointed out don't be afraid to ask questions but 99% of the time the answer is already on the forum so remember to use the search function.

There are plenty of places in Launceston that specialise in Imports & Performance cars and countless threads here in the Tassie section regarding that topic and the topic of tuning so maybe read a few of them to bring yourself upto speed.

As for the name change, post here with your request :rofl2:

and thanks to other people that reminded me why i will probably never post anything again.

I so new it was going to come to this!!!

I have a copy of the r34 manual on disc if you like, after a while you get to know who is who on these forums and most of the guys are just having a bit of fun

and I am sure if you ask a question they would all love to help.

I use Rons Automotive for all major things or for stuff i just cant be bothered doing, He is always willing to help out and will do a good job at a good price,

and thanks to other people that reminded me why i will probably never post anything again.

Most people on here are helpful... Unfortunately select few are yet to grow up.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Also remember the R34 is going to be no more difficult than any other car to maintain, And i'd rather spend money on maintaining a car i like and enjoy driving like the 34.

My mum actually drives a moddified R33 gts-t and has learnt the basics about it, knows enough to get her by.

...Welcome by the way :action-smiley-069:

and thanks to other people that reminded me why i will probably never post anything again.

Don't let immature comments from some members put you off . Its an enthusiast community after all , regardless of one's sex!

i forgot the internets is serious business.

But seriosly if you start a thread build around the fact that your a girl (recently single at that) on a male based forum you will get people posting things like "are you hot", "pics or gtfo"..etc. It's only meant for a laugh

If you have an issue with your car, and need help, just search or ask. There are heaps of blokes who know nothing about cars, so being a recently single girl is irrelivant.

And most of all, have a laugh

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
