Do diagnostic. Investigate returned code.

MLR's Bogan cruise ship
GTSBoy replied to The Bogan's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
I think we already have those. -
Manifold leak bad enough to do what you're describing would be catastrophically bad.
-
It's just a matter of where you hang the ambient temperature probe. Lying on the exhaust manifold is a good way to make the power.

Zen question for the day. If a burnout happens in a deserted industrial area, and no-one posts the video to the forums, did it ever happen? -
Despite your findings, it can only be the throttle remaining open after you release it. The presence of an FFP just adds more likelihood that there's something weird going on with the throttle. Put a goPro under there and film it while thrashing it.

I didn't, but I assume that it's like asbestos and I will eventually die from the exposure.

Are RBs worth building reliability wise
GTSBoy replied to Blakeo's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
I would suggest that RBs are becoming sufficiently rare now that the old days' behaviour of beating them to death are unsupportable. Unless you can afford to keep a stock of blocks and heads that will get you up and running again without having to pay someone COVIDtax/US enthusiast prices for theirs when you desperately need it, or you can afford to just not put the engine back together and thus give up on the car, then you either spend a lot of money building it absolutely properly (to prevent the inevitable bang) or you just don't lean on it that hard (~300rwkW sensible limit expressed above) to also prevent the inevitable bang. -

I think he also has "fail often" appended. -
Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. /litany

Technically illegal to do anything with wires, even comms cabling that will never see a phone system. But if my house ever burns down they will know that a contracting electrician didn't do all the wiring in my house, because some of it is done properly. Guess which bits done by who are done properly. You don't find many catenaries, proper strain relief loops, required separation between 230VAC and control/comms wiring in any house not owned by an engineer.

Installed ~2011. SA govco tariff was massive. Used to be 56c IIRC. Went down (to ~45c) a few years ago, then went back up to ~50c. System cost ~$12k after something like 10k of rebates. Paid off in <5 years. Making cream since. But, the negative side is that I could fit something like 50% more panel capacity on the roof with new panels but can't change them without losing the tariff. So I have to keep thinking about whether it is time to dump the old panels for new with more generation and live with the lower per unit tariff. Same with batteries, etc etc. Not that I think batteries are actually a good economic decision anyway. But maybe they'll get there.

Ah. The world of front loaders. I don't have 2+hrs for each load. I don't care if top loaders use more water and make more noise. I can repair them myself when they go bunk (as opposed to the $3000/month service bill for an Asko! :p ) and can get a decent load done in <60 minutes.

What the hell has the oil change interval got to do with anything?
-
There is no such kit. Choose a power output that you're after. Choose a turbo to suit. Choose a manifold that works with that turbo. Get a dump pipe fabricated because there quite probably isn't an off the shelf dump to suit that turbo in that car. Choose an ECU that your local tuner knows how to tune. Get bigger injectors, fuel pump, intercooler. Upgrade clutch. That's how we do it.

You got the wiring diagrams for the 2 cars? All you want to do is connect a wire that runs to your foglight to the foglight output on the switch. I have no idea whether that circuit is supposed to be switched on the earth side or on the power side on the GTR. Most things on most cars are switched on the earth side, but lighting is quite frequently switched on the power side. If the highbeam wiring/terminals are different between the GT-T and the GTR, then you definitely need the wiring diagrams and/or reasonable electrical diagnosis/probing skill to be able to work out where the highbeam power/switching is supposed to be on each switch.

This would be done by joining wire A to wire B. Probably have to disconnect wire A from it's existing connection to wire C first.

Buy eliminator kit and install. Job done.

Rebuild ~half the price.

Take the bumper to a crash repairer or a plastic welder (the sort that the crash repairer would use if they don't have their own guy) to stitch a little plastic into the hole and sand it back.
