Got your entry to Broadford Greg. Will see you up there. You going to come and say Hi this time or not?

He said hi to me last time, but I think that was only because I walked past him as he was fixing his car...

There's a lot of mental processing reserved for exploding cars that don't drive right and being a complete noob driver you know!
Finally got a friend's old beamer going and he also signed up for SAU. This is the guy that was fixing my car at Sandown while I was blabbing to Birds. His rationale for joining SAU was "Well unlike the BMW club they are at the track, and also I've fixed enough Skylines to be an honorary member even if they don't know it yet"

Lost 3-4kg in the past 3weeks... not sure if fat or body mass.

Thought I would be gaining whilst jobless.

that just means you're eating too much at work, maybe you're a heavy snacker?

or maybe you walking around more now?

So drove the S14 back home to the country today.

I really forgot just how bad the highway done/pot hole wrecking the back was.
that said the few sweeping bends went though made me remember why I did what I did.

 

I see a trailer in my not too distant future.  and many more track days

is that one of the chinese ones with the phone home with full data on it?

I'm not sure what you mean.... but yeah, Chinese phones taking over yo. My HTC is over 2 years old now and app updates have just made it a slug for running most things. Reverted back to factory default for what apps I could and they run much better. Don't think its worth spending much on a phone if constant updates render everything redundant in a short span, a la Apple.

Considered the Nokia 3310, and it looks like the good ol' days of functionality but really need SOME basic internet stuff.

TLDR

apparently a bunch of Chinese phone companies have firmware that monitors all traffic on the device and sends home

meant to be for mainland only but "accidentally" put on international ones as well.

 

 

Meh, if they want to monitor my sending of memes and organising car or family meets, then they're more than welcome to. The socialist party council can add me on Facebook for all I care. Need those instagrum followers

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
