You obviously did not listen to my exhaust note link.

thanks guys, will try both at lunch and let you know how I went. Cheers!

Ok!...how do I do that? Don't worry I will do a search on that one. Sounds like I need a fancy mechanics doowacky to find out though.

I started my car up one morning and the 4wd light stayed lit. Flicked my custom 4wd switch a couple of times but it would not fix. Checked the 4wd fuse and it is still active. There are no strange noises coming from anywhere (nothing loud enough to hear anyway). The car opperates fine, besides being in rwd mode. Has anyone else had a similar issue? Or does anyone know what the problem might be? My guess is it might be something electrical not working anymore...

There's something wrong with you if you dont like the sound of this:

Have been told by many to get an electroni guage for my oil pressure. Have bought one now but I am unable to locate a T piece for it. Does onyone know who stocks T-Pieces for these? Cheers Jez

Because Linton likes LeCoq

Geez there has got to be a way out of this without insulting poeple or looking ghey. I know!:

Bah. I promissed myself to stop posting in this thread. This is what its done to me: P.S. Thats not really me, I am not an ugly ranga with glasses and a multitude of freckles. No offense to rangas reading this thread or to DOOF if he his a ranga.

Yes but what if a customer only wanted one box? Does that make it 1/3 of a warehouse cycle?

Gotta do this one ^^ Its from the fast and the furious (Paul Walkers old car). No Joke! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/As...ce-t290760.html

Just to clarify that a cycle does not mean a circle. It means a process of when a system of any sort completes. Like downstairs in my warehouse we have a manufacturing cycle and it looks like this (simplified): A. Extract Parts > B. Assemble Parts > C. Pack Parts in box This is a very simple cycle but you notice that process C does not go back to A, the process or cycle just starts again from scratch. Now lets say that there are three people at each sector (A, B and C), when 3 boxes are complete and are in a pile at the end the warehouse has officially completed 3 manufacturing cycles. Not 1.

Got it on the w/e - good stuff! Not sure about the commentator though (haha jokes). There was about 8 more copies at news xpress in castle towers, Castle Hill if some are having trouble getting a copy. It was good to see the coverage of the SAU 34 cruise and the F&F drive ins. Are you going to cover Putty Road?

You know what gents, I have decided to make my last post on this subject with what I think is a plausable conclusion. If someones definition of a rotories cycle is 120 degrees of a rotor or one combustion, or if ones perception of a rotors displacement is measured by the static combustion area of a rotor housing then their answer would be 1.3ltr rotory engine If someones definition of a rotories cycle is 360 degrees of a rotor or three combustions, or if ones perception of a rotors displacement is measured by the 3 rotational chambers of a rotor then their answer would be a 3.9l engine. Done, shakes hands with members of the debate, tips my hat, picks up breif case and adios amigos!

An air pump does not self generate its power where an engine does. They are not the same thing otherwise throw an air pump by itself in a car and see how well it performs.

But the displacement of an engine is measured by the combustion chamber, which is 1.3l

Yes I have got it - its not a rotating combustion chamber its a rotating rotor. The combustion chamber is in the same place and doesn't move.

Good one gary, not one of those pumps combusts. Its not campatable. You have one medium cylcing through those pumps and 3 different mediums cycling through a rotor. What came into the rotory engine is not the same as what leaves the rotory engine. Thats because one is a pump and one is an engine. If one cycle of a rotory engine is 1/3 of a rotory rotation then only 1.3l of air is being combusted per cycle thus making it a 1.3l.

A full rotation is a full rotation of the rotor, I cannot dispute that. But a full combustion cycle of a rotory I can debate. And then that moves to the whole last three pages of my points on where the combustion chamber is and how it is measured. With a piston its easy to determine because it happens in one spot. Well it should be easy with a rotory too because it also happens in one spot lol. But an alas from me too lol, its muddy there as well.

lol doof thanks for making my points out to be so trivial. I am just trying to find different ways of explaining my same point so people can understand better for visual purposes on what I am trying to get accross. I was basically trying to say dont compare 1 rotor with 3 pistons, instead compare 1 rotor with 1 piston. If I paint one rotor face green, another yellow and another red. One combustion cycle moves the rotor 120 degrees and so all colours are now in a different place, so no a complete rotation of the rotor has not been made but the rotor itself is in the exsact same postition. All points of the triangle are pointing in the same directions before the combustion and thus completing one cycle.

Its not irrelevant because the combustion appears in the same place for a piston but a rotories combustion appears in a completely different place.

Yes and that is why you are able to see the true displacement of a rotory because you are able to open up your mind outside of how a piston works.

Just trying to keep it simple, I suppose it depends on which direction you look at it lol. But my point stands, it only combusts in one section of the rotory so only that section can be identified as the combustion chamber. Its not combusting anywhere else at anny other time.

I meant a piston surface is not a combustion chamber by itself. Now you will reply that during the proccess of intake and compression that they have walls there too - but there is no combustion there so it is not a combustion chamber.

Haha gary, the difference is one piston can't intake and extract at exactly the same time where as a 1 rotor can. Thats why your theory doesnt apply. Yes it has 3 chambers but only one of the chambers is a combustion chamber.
