new air filter!

have been planning this for a very long time. NOW it is finally here!!! my new K&N air filter! had a very hard time finding a filter which suits my budget but thank god in the end i got it! after installing the new air filter in exchange with the stock filter, it felt really good. me buddy hong jiun and chun kit. we DIYed and saved 15bucks for the labor. it wasnt much work just a few nuts to unscrew and a few pipings to be taken away then waalaaa! it's done. it was quite an experience. thx guys! well how do i put this? i can say that it gives my car more kick to climb the rpm and makes this solid like noise when i step on the gas a lil harder. I LOVED IT! haha!

tirees check

well.. since this is a blog about automobile knowledge. i would really like to educated my readers that checking your tires is very important in a process of driving. why do i say this you might wonder. its because i realise that many of my friends don't really care about their cars wears and tear all they know is to use and drive the car around. so people please at least do basic check ups by yourself such example is checking your tire pressure.

ok first of all, you should be checking at what rate of pressure you should be pumping into your wheels. how do you even know about the tires pressure, the width and length of the tire. well you can check this by checking the door panel at the very end of the door there is a sticker which shows you all this information as shown in below.




well secondly. please do check your tires strips specially local car which doesn't come with ABS(anti-lock brake system) which is very dangerous to drive when your tires has insufficient tire strips to sustain the grip towards tarmac. that is what happened to me which cause a slight accident where i almost collide with a proton perdana which did an emergency brake all a sudden on top of the sunway double overhead bridge. it was raining very heavily then and i was like in 60kmh when from 10m away the car did an emergency brake and i hit the brakes hard but the car was still going forward and when i try to avoid the sliding of the water i try to steer my tires full left but it still slide through then countersteered left right and left right(mind you my car is and non power steering so it's a lot of hard work).. haha! my buddy hong jiun was so quite at that very moment well his very noisy normally. he suspected that i did not jam the brakes hard enough but i did. so we were about to kiss the ass of the perdana,when all of the sudden few mm away the car stopped.. at that moment i felt such a big relief and thank god we were safe so i let go of the brakes and didn't realise my tires were steered full toward the other lane. i let go of the brakes lightly and the car flew all of the sudden to the other. then hell came back to me again i quickly counterback but it was too late i accidentally touched the motorist and he fell. i felt sorry for him but he knew that it wasn't really entirely my fault he was just beside my car when i was so call drifting in a straight line. haha! so that's it. do you want to end up like an ass like me who have to pay 300bucks for the accident with your life time savings? no so please do check your tire strips often. good luck all!

Purpose this blog was started for....

well actually this blog started out as an idea for people like me to learn more about automotive stuff. So here i am trying to start with my lazy ass to get connected on the web. i won't really update much unless i am damn free.. so first of all i would start with my dream car which is the nissan skyline gtr r34
3 wonderful colors of the r34s


my dream color gtr, midnight purple! =)


look at the beautiful colors that is reflected by this wonderful midnight purple gtr


the god like status of the mine's r34 time attack gtr
the z-tune tuned by nissan themselves.. one of the rarest gtr r34 around only 20 were made... has a whooping 500bhp.. yum yum!






the reason why i like is because merely i like cars which look a little old like the skyline gtr not to sleek as most exotics(lambo, ferrari).. it's more technical.. it's more spacious has 4 seaters.. =). can fetch more ahem ahem friends.. haha.. well most astonishing thing i find about the gtr is it's capability to bring down other much more expensive and hardcore machinery which cost twice it's price.. that's why i fall in love with this very car and hope to own one in future.. wish me luck!
