    The magistrate suspended the jail time - maybe a stint inside would have taught him properly. He's still outside, and how many times have we heard of people with suspended licences being caught doing something stupid AGAIN. Even this twerp was on a suspended licence. Suspended licences do not stop people like this. The additional suspension of his licence will not stop him driving in the next 12 months. LOCK HIM UP.

    Any truth to this report? http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/stor...5001023,00.html (Sorry if it's a repost - searched, didn't find anything)

    If anything, you should run higher pressure in the wet - the theory is it holds the tread "open" better so the tread drains water better.Generally, the tyre manufacturer will have a recommended tyre pressure - check the manufacturer's spec sheet for your tyres. Then, on a RWD, add 2psi to the fronts.

    It's compressor surge - the engine simply can't ingest the increased fuel / air charge being supplied by the larger turbo. You had better find that aftermarket ECU pretty quick if you want to impress on the dyno.

    Did you reset the idle speed using the screw on the base of the AAC valve?

    There's a fluid reservoir behind the boot-liner panel, beside the RH taillamp assembly. Turn key -> IGN, then top up reservoir with ATF to between the markers. Failing that, it may need a bleed. Or it's cactus clutch plates. But I'd put my money on the low fluid.

    I thought you could adjust the position where the switch makes contact with the brake pedal.

    Sorry. It's at the Southbank centre (cnr Kavannagh and Balston Sts, S. Melbourne)

    Mine failed a (Vic) RWC because of crushed rails (caused by jacking under them).

    All you people who are now into donating blood, Nurse Debbie just called, reminding me that you are all scheduled again after 11 March. I have made a tentative booking for Sunday April 1 (no joke!) for 10 people, at 9:40 am. Although I'm now out of the loop, so to speak, I will attend to lend moral support. So, if you are one of the existing number, or you would like to join this elite group, then email your confirmation at [email protected] Tx

    You will probably lose the ATTESSA. ATTESSA takes a signal from the TPS. Wolf EMS has a "black box" module to solve this problem.

    What happens when you swap #1 coil with #2 coil? Does #1 still misfire, or is it now #2?

    Think yourself lucky. Many years ago, to get a roadworthy, you HAD TO replace the windscreen. Without any form of measuring equipment, they always deemed that a (used) windscreen did not meet the standard for light transmission.

    I reckon: The problem at boost is compressor surge - you need a re-program of the ECU. The idle problem is either an air leak (hose off somewhere) or a dirty AAC valve.

    Unlikely it's a problem with wiring. The alarm's actuators piggyback onto the originals, and are locked in place by a grub screw. Sometimes the screw comes loose, and the actuator simply slides along the factory rod. Re-align the alarm actuator on the factory rod, tighten the grub screw, and Robert's your father's brother.

    Join the gang, Kylie.Now girls, correct me if I'm mistaken, but you really don't care how many roses - 1 is as good as a roomful.

    Yes. And obviously put back the hose joing the 2 rockers.
  19. blind_elk
    pretty certain that's a shot taken from the SIDE, not the BACK. Looks like one of the cradle bushes has gone bye-byes.Actually, on closer inspections, does look like the remnants of a roll cage

    The passenger rocker cover is still feeding oil vapours back into the inlet side of the turbo. In my installation, the catch can basically replaces the hose from the passenger side rocker to the turbo inlet (that 'U'-shaped hose coming straight up off the passenger side rocker).

    NO! It will go into "limp home" mode if it detects an error in the ATTESSA system. The R32 is the only one you can "pull the fuse". Frankly, if you want RWD, then buy a RWD.
  22. blind_elk
    WTF are U jabbering on about? ALL R32 GTS[t/4]s came out with a silver top (RB20 ECCS).

    The shoes are adjusted through the 1/2" hole in the rotor hat. The adjustment is near the "7 o'clock" position. You will need a flat-blade screwdriver to undo the adjusting wheel.

    2300 rpm limit is usually a sign of a cactus AFM.

    Wolf won't reset if you remove power. It will retain the last map programmed in. You'd be surprised how crappy a RB engine will run when it has a crook coil.
