ken - impressive list.. :D

aidwin - i don't think i'm the person to be teaching anyone anything to do with driving! tho after the understeering and conering lessons with ken i feel i have improved quite a bit.. much more comfortable when things step out anyhow...

night Liz

haha i found it hard saturday when u have your normal patterns of driving and ken is telling u to do one thing but your brain is telling u to do another cos its just what u normally do :D

wow drift series- id go watch it,its a nice sport to watch

Watch , dammit man , ya gotta have a go.

Put the crap tyres on the rear and a mechanical type LSD , bit of negative camber in the front and your there.

Cheers

Ken

PS Nite Liz , I think theres an all female day at MC on July 12th.

Yuor normal pattern. That gearstick / shifter certainly gets some attention...

hehe

Cheers

hehe oh well gotta have at least one knob i can play with :D

just when started at new town i got used to driving prados and other manual cars so now even if auto resting my hand on the shifter is just what i do :)

mechanical lsd<-- so its easier to correct the car after you go sideways?

Nope but it's easier to get it sideways.

I got a 1.5 way cusco locker thingy in the back of Ricer and that goes sideways REAL easy. Ask micko , Cam or Niz.

Cheers

    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
