Brendan, Troy's advice seems pretty good mate and as Steve & Jet said, def go see a decent doctor mate

tangles i think u need to see ur doc asap u need some help doesnt sound like ur in a good way

pete u got the taxi zf tuned yet? mines been done for a wile now and its very nice when u feel like being a bit ruff with it and even when ur not u can get a very nice 1-2 change with chirp

Still haven't been to Martin for the ZF tune....been slack

What are all the differences that you've noticed since the tranny tune.......tighter gear changes I'm guessing.....has it put any extra strain on the driveline and does it jerk you forward on normal driving or does it still change smooth?

Apparently Martin can tune some stall into it as well which will be good for some decent 60ft times......when did Martin do it for you?

[jrm]

FUUUUUUUUUUUU-

... I just keep buying car parts! I don't know what's got into me in the last few weeks, with my car having been off the road for the last 4.5 months. I honestly think I'm losing it!

The current list of parts purchased (here or in transit):

• nismo 480cc injectors
  
• nismo timing belt
  
• nismo wheel nuts
  
• nismo lmgt4 center-caps
  
• nismo solid shifter
  
• nismo 300kph cluster
  
• HEL Oil cooler w/integrated thermostat
  
• Whiteline front & rear swaybars
  
• ISC 52mm radiator
  

On a flip side, at least a lot of stuff I've been holding off for or planning for the last 4.5 years are finally starting to come together .. Now I just need those injectors fitted, the nistune tuned ... oooh .. and then I can start contemplating a high-flow .. arghhh .. it never stops!

um yeh hahahahahaha

i got bruce to do my zf tune and its killer but i was used to my btr 4speed with a built box and 2800r.p.m stall and that shifted hard ....the zf is almost exactly like that i can get decent 1-2 chirpies out of it without touching the shifter all automatic it wouldnt be everyones cup of tea as the zf 6 speed is a luxury box silky smooth normally and now its a performance box to suit the power i spose now just depends how u like it , i could almost say its harsh in the morning when u may like it a bit more relaxed but iam just a bit precious in da morning

stall i still havent heard anything that has been done yet .....iam waiting for it to be done and tested b4 i jump on the bandwagon being the pig sux arse

[SLED]

WOW, when did you twist that......was it recently and as a direct result of the new ZF tune?

Any word on aftermarket tailshafts out there (carbon fibre maybe)........they are def the weakest point in the driveline

Could try http://speedhunters.com/media/ some ~1500 images, unfortunately most of them max out out at 1600x1200

Anyone have any hookups for flash cards? Want to get a couple 32GB SDHC cards, but most places want some serious drug money for them.

TFIF, time for me to get excited and get smashed

Scandy,

Have you tried MSY Computing 32GB SDHC = $49

msy.com.au

Just going through my photo archive and came across a few good ones:

Thanks for the advice lads, very much appreciated.

Admittedly no Im not in a good way; my mental & physical health has gone out the door.

I'll make an appointment for next week & get in to see a mental health proffessional again. I know its neccessary but been delaying it simply due to costs (sad but true). Whilst Ive got my name on the track-day list I'll probably not be able to afford it, but would like to hold a spot until deposits are due (you never know whats around the corner).

Cheers.

it actually happened on the dyno and punctured the fuel tank aswell weeeeeeeee lots of fun there and mind u 1000plus nm is going through it acording to my last willall dyno graph yeh carbon ones are avaliable but touch ur toes for the price at 2k plus, hardy spicer do one at 1200 bucks so its on my list aswell i just got another std one for the time being

Let me know when you're ready for one....might be cheaper for 2?

I won't take my car to the drags without one

Remember 1000Nm at the tyre is much, much less at the engine.

Reason? Engine torque is multiplied by the driveline ratio and wheel size to make rear wheel torque that the dyno measures.

The reality is that with 1000Nm the engine, transmission, and driveline would fail very quickly....

oh cummon nuffin like blowing chit up hahaha iam going to try and get hardy spicer on to a off the shelf item if all goes well could see prices drop sub 1 k and thats not to bad me thinks and they warant them to 1000hp usually so that should be a good option

by the sounds of it drags at air in the not so distant future is looking good so testing the abilities of oem gear might be a bit easier

cheers for the info martin ......................any calc to work out exact engine torque then?................1000+ nm at the wheels is still ok i woulda thought

Researching & finding that fentanyl withdrawal is as bad as it gets. Last two weeks have been pretty awful. I've found that most metabolisms use up the slow release drug over a 48hr period, I've been replacing the patches after 72+hrs since I've been on it for the last 40odd months. Realistically I've been going through withdrawal every 3rd & 4th days in that time. Side effects are lengthy. Just going from 25mu to 12micrograms/hr has been extremely hard but I'm determined to get off this nasty stuff asap. Fentanyl is over 80times stronger than morphine. Do not recommend.

If you were to put one in your mouth you'd overdose within minutes, just saying. Pretty much a bit of research today has explained to me why ive felt the way I have the past 3yrs. Depression, anxiousness, insomnia, crawling out of your skin, irritable, irrationality ..... plenty of undesirable side effects. Its going to take me months to feel on top of things again, but damn, I'm determined. I'm going to get better, get strong again, and be a success.

just use care mate, a lot of people get some extremely severe side effects to the point of no return(cant take anymore), just remember this bunch of people on SAU are here for you to chat anytime ? life gets better off those crappy meds. you know your body , and doctors arent' always right either , on a side note from before, you can see your physch doctor "no cost i think in most cases" with a gp refferal around 12 sessions a year on medicare. ask about the mental health act

just keep positive mate. no matter how hard it is to kick the patch.... talk anytime

on a side note , i think we need some of these for the next out of town car show... lol
