Brace your ethanol...Melbourne winter is coming

3 minutes to start car this morning

May be seriously considering potentially thinking about possibly switching back to petrol for now

  • Like 1

we all had a lego box as kids.

but shiiiiiit.

have you seen how expensive that shit is nowadays!?

i started asking for star wars lego for xmas.

keep an eye on the kmart sales this stuff gets turned over once a year and Kmart clear theirs for 50-60% off.

last one I got was:

down from 700 to 200

want the death star next, but really hanging for the Ghost busters one coming out this year

Coldest morning since September last year. Some parts reached sub-zero. I think CBD was 4.x degrees; and I think they said Croydon (close enough) was pretty close to zero iirc.

For a brief instant considered delaying e85 tune... realised I'm getting a dual map tune anyway, will just run 98 more often in winter if cold start isn't being ideal.

-----------------------------------------------

Speaking of Lego, friend linked me this the other day:

And yeah, the Death Star in lego always looks impressive.

True dat at expense; yet I saw people had limited edition Millenium Falcons which cost around $600, now going for like $3000 (some guy sold his used set for $2500 lels).

Well yeah, I don't think he is gonna plumb it back for now (re: screamer).

How he is going to fit that into the 5in cat, I do not know. Unless he runs it direct to the body of the cat itself. I believe ARTZ had that done.

But my car cannot be made to 'look very sweet' by the efforts of one man alone.

It will most likely require the efforts of three men, namely scotty, artz, and aaron by the way of his guard roller and general "greg don't do stupid shit" advice.

dont be a top bloke, throw some 225s on a 10 and slam it

Hrmmm I haven't had a cold start issue yet with my e85

We shall see over the coming months though

Only cold start issue I ever had on e85 was due to the fact that for some reason my haltech stopped the fuel pump when cranking (only cranking)

Because...

????????

lemme guess your both running IDs?

Start ya bastard not work?!?

Probably, but it would be started by the time I remove the air filter. I'm mostly daily driving these days and can easily switch back with laptop; 98 unleaded never has these issues.

Just a shame I lose my awesome midrange :(

I run ID's and if it's below 10 degrees my cars a bitch to start.

If the car has been on the trailer over night in winter and I try to start it at the track I have to wait for the temp to get up to about 10 before it will start.

It was tuned on a 35 degree day which probably didn't help.

And I don't mean the can I mean shouting it.

If not try the Marty mcfly trick bang your head on te wheel.

Or try this

Interesting...I know fk all about tuning so I wonder if I can play with a copy of my tune and produce something that doesn't blow up my engine!

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
