Guys, sometimes it might seem like you're not having the greatest day, but check out how quickly luck can turn around.

Woke up this morning (my birthday) still kinda hung over from a massive Easter weekend.

As i'm getting ready to go to work, I get a phone call from the real estate agent telling me that I had been outbid on a house i had pretty much thought was mine :kick:

So I've been sittin at work all day feelin sorry for myself, wishing i was elsewhere.

Until about 4pm.

There was a massive noise outside the office, sounded like someone had crashed into my car. Here are some photo's of the scene that confronted me when i got outside -

Apparently the slasher blade on the boss's tractor hadn't been done up correctly, and as soon as the tractor was started part of the blade (about 10cm wide by 20cm long) broke off and was spat out the back.

As you can see from the photo's, the blade must have only missed my car by about 10cm.

The boss's patrol never had a chance to move...

The boss is still pretty cut up about it, going nuts at the moment on the phone to insurance companies.

It wasn't so much the actual house I was interested in, it was a bit of a hole. Was a pretty decent development opportunity though, as well as the fact it had a massive 12m x 8m garage...

But as you say, another one will come up.

      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.
