Yeah, my ex wife said something along those lines when she didn't want me to know where she was going!!

Oh well, so long as you give her a jump every so often, turn her over from time to time, keep her lubricated then get into her and give her a good going over regularly ... you should be ok .. :D

Put some fresh oil in the diff, and went for a cruise.

Very happy with my alignment. One thing i need to fix is a very slight drift to the left.

But it feels like a Ducati.

Ever ridden one? Man, they just drop into the corners and stick there.

The way they sort of suck you down and balance at the lowest point, feels soooo gooood..... now my 32 is a bit like that.

A little tweaking and it will be perfect.

I cleaned it after about 3 weeks ( haven't had time :( ) then took it for a drive, followed an old SS then he thought he was a Drift King... completely lost it, then found out that my brakes are not to great.... just pulled up in time! so after that fright I decided to go home ....

Scares the sht out of you doesnt it..... :laugh:

And thats why you drive with appropriate safety margins.

You know what i mean? Like enough room to stop or dodge, when sht goes wrong. And it will go wrong sooner or later.

Not just other cars, but you driving down a road vs the environment.

Its good when you can learn without paying for it. (crashed car or broken bones) :thumbsup:

I think it was the first time I didn't leave enough room, its always little mistakes that you pay for...

it would have been about half a metier between us when I finally stopped... thank god for the car behind me had better brakes! she would have wet herself, she looked pretty young, maybe around 17, I think she was more worried about hitting a skyline :P

At every service ... I always have brakes checked, fluids .. pads .. roters, ensure all is clean and working well, Mik is 110% right there is never a time you need them to 'just' work, you always need them to be perfect. Same goes for tyres, your brakes sorta need them to lend a hand when things don't go right .. :wacko:

Hahaha...

Brakes only need to work when you want to stop.

Tyres only need to be ok when you're stopping, going or turning.

Flat tyres are fine. After all, they're only flat on the bottom. :laugh:

but seriously, I thought my brakes were fine (but a little different feeling from time to time) <<---- this is wrong. :/

new fluid and they are very consistent now.

Also waiting for a snowfoam lance.

Santa brought a pressure washer and the lance should complete my growing detailing kit.

I can use my car to learn paint correction, before i respray.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.

      R34 Skyline Knee Pads

      Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.

      Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
