I went to Morgan Park once, stayed a few nights.

That Duncan fella sure can snore. And those QLD folk are strange... They even let the wiggles go out racing...

Best viewing point... On top of the bridge for sure...

Cost to stay: I dunno. Too busy working on cars to count... :P

Las Vegas Exotics

Sadly I didn't do this but my cousin did. He drove 13 exotics for 5 laps each and was given incar and out of car footage. He loved the Aventador's speed but reckons the handling of the Superleggera and Scuderia were unbelievable! Would have the Turbo S as an everyday car!!

He has given me a new holdiay goal...

If you're in England at the beginning of July, check out The Festival of Speed at Goodwood. ' Track' is son of rajab March's driveway. (Heidfeld has the record in a F1). Event is over three days and I reckon you could easily spend 2 days there. The Best.

Some video I took in '09. 2012 is the 20th anniversary year, sorry I won't be there.

I have been trying to make Goodwood but timing doesnt match up. Last year I was in the UK when they had the historic race meet and you get all dressed up in vintage clothes etc. Was going to go but my friend and his Mrs who were going with me pulled out...plus I was flying out the next day so I just hit the drink instead :whistling:

      I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?

      You can get them with the worm drive rotator but I was too tight to pay another $250-$300 so manual labour it is! I don't think it will be too hard to rotate though.

      Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?

      It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!

      R32gtr sputtering and stalling

      As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
