LOL...because if anyone can remember my "Telstra can kiss my ass" thread...i get disconnected constantly. Still have to find out about this...might be my modem.

Also...I only have 300mb download, which I use up from just surfing!! Why waste 50mb on my account, when I can do it at work for free :wink:

gumball rally is a "race" from new york to LA, or LA to new york, cant remember which. i say "Race" because its more of a cruise for rich people with ferraris and porsches than it is an actual race. most people just cruise around and dont break the law, some of the people get more reckless than that. they drove through memphis (Where i live), but i missed them. there were several high speed pursuits right outside of the city here with lots of arkansas state police and helicopters, i think one of the lambos was doing 190+ mph on interstate 40 in traffic

gumball rally runs every year from new york to LA. it really is not a run to enter unless you have sufficient funds as lots of cars doing top speed runs over the course of a few days tend to die

a better cruise is running of the bulls which is a lambo cruise and they get police escorts everywhere as well. imagine a cruise lineup of between 50 and 70 lamborghinis driving past you. one word SENFARCKENSATIONAL.

this is the one cruise of my lifetime that i will do anything to attend

There were a couple of "gumball rally" type events held in Oz years ago. Not the Cannonball Run in the NT but Sydney-Perth.

Totally crazy stuff. The guys my mum knew got a falcon and modified the boot to be a fuel tank. 1 driving, 1 awake watching the driver, 1 asleep in the back. They'd change seats on the run and only had to stop for juice a few times.

The guy that won had a ute with a fuel tank that filled up the tray!!! 8O 8O

I think it died out after a few years when some of them got arrested.... :roll:

      Feedback on Carbonetics: R34 GTT cooling panel

      By IM-32-FK · Posted

      @DraftySquash @Duncan he's not talking about the part that sits against the radiator support, he’s talking about the lip that sits towards the front outside of the car. anyway I had a look at other cooling panels and came across this one https://justjap.com/products/carbing-radiator-cooling-panel-plate-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-t?variant=37829684134087&currency=AUD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Advanced feed&utm_content=Carbing Radiator Cooling Panel Plate fits Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T (Coupe)&srsltid=AfmBOoonzPDKqe9NgKi5U0AkFc2XvbXETGmNWvfNcyBT5DUZagMYHg9DZ70 if you take notice it’s the same shape.  well thankfully the justjap listing has a description and it says : - Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T Coupe (M/T -07/2000) this means it’s specifically for a s2. S2’s have different front bars to s1 so that lip with the 3 holes are *probably* mounting points for the s2 bar. im not 100% sure but im almost certain it will still fit a s1 bar

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
