Ok, So I went to Jump Mania today with my dad and little brother.

Boy oh Boy.. what a ****ing waste of dollars.

It was at the superdome (which isn't massive, in fact pretty pissy) and of the 3 hrs we were there, there was at least 40mins of intervals. The rest of the time dudes came out on 50cc mini bikes and drove in a circle, lucky to get 3 feet off the ground, 4 dudes on motocross bikes put on a decent show for about 30mins in total, 3 little mini monster trucks drove in circles (again, lucky to get 3 feet off the ground) and the big monster trucks came out and drove in circles... oh, and at the end, these trucks jumped on some cars...

The wining points;

- Truckosaurous (or whatever its name was) - oh man, i wanted to die!! Ten mins before this comes out, they push out a shitty old VN commodore into the arena. The lights go out, the lasers start, the (get this!!) jurassic park music starts and out comes TRUCKOSAof tUROUS. Truckosaurous drives over to the VN, clamps onto its roof and lifts it off. He makes it look so easy! It looks like the roof might be... IT IS!! The roof has been PRE CUT! So the ****ing thing just grabs it and lifts it off... Then (and this was the exciting part, especially with the jurassic park music and lasers) it drives back and forth over a 40ft area for about 10mins and then retires out the back while people are booing... the VN is then pushed off the arena, and that was truckosaurous... give me a ****ing break!

- The Motorcross dudes. Ok, so these guys were pretty good, but get this, one of them does a jump in the first 10 mins and runs straight into the wall...

- The Mini Monster Trucks. Ripper, when these things weren't jumping a whole 3 feet in the air, they were limping off after ROLLING onto their roofs!! Top work! Of 3 of these retarded things, 1 remained runing at the end. There were bits of them and fuel/oil all over the place..

- The real Monster Trucks ok, so they cost $270k, they wiegh 7 tonnes, they have 1500HP chevs... but really, they can drive in circles as much as they want, but its kinda boring... no, wait! one of them broke down TWICE and the 2nd time had to get towed off... now thats kinda exciting...

- The Mini Bikes - the most exciting thing was when a guy tried a backflip and landed on his head....

Guys, I was almost counting the minutes... it really ****ing sucked. :)

Then, we have a massive ****ing hail storm... :D

who let the bogan into the vic section :)

i went to see truckasaurus in Canada when it was on tour from the US. that thing was a firebreathing VW stomping (it ran over 6 VW's and crushed em all to pancakes) beast. only reason I went to see it was they actually mentioned it in the simpsons, and anything in the simpsons is teh cool.

      Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
