Hey,

im a full time bum ass student at UQ. Also work nearly every weekend at Caltex Toowong: fancy schmancy job name =  PETROLLIUM DISTRIBUTION ENGINEER  :wassup:  ....or just "servo-guy" (10pm-6am graveyards baby) so i have almost ZERO social life on weekends.  Also bit of bar work here and there....and also drive trucks in the ARMY part time (love it, great fun) always on da lookout for some tax free dollars!! NO Johnny Howard payments here people, bust my balls to get my toys. Even do a lil car importing on the side for hobby, plus all sorts of jap parts.

Haro

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA LOVE your signature mate!!!!

I do graveyards at Caltex too (in WA), and for everyone else, his sig is entirely true!!

It'd be the best job in hte world, if it weren't for the customers (and shit pay, and stacking the drinks, and sweeping the forecourt and cleaning the pumps...)!! hhahahaha top stuff

mechanical engineer,

sit in front for the pc all day and design stuff, i.e 3D design for vehicles being used in the mining industry ,,,

can't wait to go out to some mine sites,, and see some REAL big toys!!!

I install and maintain sound systems in nightclubs/bars/restaurants basically anywhere that needs sound systems or lighting be it architectual or Effect and a little bit of plasma , projector installs even sometimes security camera systems. What ever the boss tells us to do. I also run the hire department for all of your DJ/Party/Concert lighting and sound needs.

Kinda interesting and different every day. Average pay and loss of hearing.

What is this work? of which you all speak,and,most of you seem to dislike so much

Slip sell your car buy a house.buy another one next year, repeat this process for 5 years

meantime keep your job and in 5 years you should be able to support an R34GTR

Detective with the cops, hate traffic cops wankers - so don't worry. Been doing it for 27 years and tired of it, my toy R33 GTST series 2 keeps me sane and motivated. Been a rev head for years.

SPY!!!

omg omg we are under survelleince (by god, how much of a typo did I just make)

Hide the books, stash the drugs and lock up the illegal immigrants working on the moving parts.

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
