Im not sure about everyone

but there is something on the road that is starting to really damn annoy me and it must stop

Ill set the scene , I was lying on my couch today half asleep enjoying one of my last days of holidays. The sun was out the birds were making peaceful noises, I had a ice cold bourbon at my side and was in heaven

I then got a very rude awakening by a high pitched dull monotonous tune!

YES IT WAS THE evil mr whippy , for the Fifth FUc*ing time this week!

driving slowly up and down my street in a 1950's ice cream truck painted pink!

Does anyone else have to contend with this sort of menace, what do you suggest I should do , take out a restraining order against mr whippy???

your advice would be appreciated

i love the sound of Mr Whippy coming down the street reminds me of being a kid again ...... when i was little i used to get so excited over that sound and started concoting ideas about how to get $2 for an icecream out of my folks.

Nah sorry VOTE ONE WHIPPY!!!

LOL - this brings back memories of the Simpsons episode where Homer's goal in life is to be 300lb so he can work from home... At the end of the episode, Homer steals a ice cream van and drives it to the power plant to save the reactor.

Anyway, after he drives through the fence, all the staff jump on the ice cream van and try to order ice creams.. LOL

Anyway, you have to be there,

P.S. Isn't it funny how there's a Simpson's episode for every 'moment' in life :)

I went to the danny green boxng fight at couple of weeks back and when singing the national anthem it had more of a dance tune background music...

I'm thinking lets make a mr whippy drum N Bass remix or break beats remix of it.. with a few vocals...

"Put your hands up in the air, put your hands up in the air......"

Don't worry about the music comin out of his speaker worry about the sad arse engine that sucker is running.

If I were you id run out there and give him the low down on how to strap a bug mutha RB26DETT to that sucker, chuck on some nitto 555r's and rock that baby down the motorplex!!!!!!!!

Ohh yeah grab one of those sundae thingo's in the cup he sells, they taste mad!!!

the mr whippy song is called Greensleeves...... Dan I would buy a break-beats mix of that hahahaha

Whenever i hear the ice cream I think of Eddie Murphy in Delerious - ICCEEECREEAAMMM THE ICECREAM MAN IS COOOOMMMMMING. I've got an icecream and you cant have none, cause your dads an alcoholic and your on the welfare.... you cant afford it, you cant afford it. :)

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
