  1. Is the garden hose to beat it when it doesn't work?
  2. Without being contrary, I doubt anyone, ever, has replaced factory valves with same sized aftermarket. you only change the valves if you are going 1mm oversize...
  3. yeah if you are certain you connected the motor's terminals properly to a battery (both ways around) and no movement, then the motor is dead
  4. Yes, Haltech is one of many supported ECUs for Realdash. Just to add one thing to jdniss's post above, I believe the CAN analyser is better (despite the stuffing around with wiring) than OBD2 or G4+ via USB as the refresh rate is much higher.
  5. I'm not sure about flow direction, I think what you have marked as water feed is water return. Water feed likely comes off a second prong at the side of the thermostat housing (the other goes to heater core).
  6. Can you post up a pic and a more specific description of the difficulty?
  7. Yes, this is why at the front extended ball joints are the best option available for addressing bump steer, but again you just wreck the handling if you go too low anyway
  8. Good call on the floor, we've got the same in the new garage and it's working very well for durability, oil downs etc etc even with parking the tractor on it. We also got it done professionally because I wanted it done right not DIY. Been down about 5 years, what worries me is how do I redo it later if needed....
  9. interesting point. we need someone to pull their ethanol sensor plug out on a dyno at full noise
  10. surely......if your ethanol % drops from say 80% to 0%, the ECU pulls timing like it was straight 98....so fails safe
  11. well, here's your chance. If you think re-opening Wakefield is a vote changing reason, here you go: https://www.speedcafe.com/2023/01/24/nsw-opposition-leader-pledges-1-million-to-save-wakefield-park/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=SC Newsletter 23012023&utm_content=SC Newsletter 23012023+CID_3c15d3629f15afd835307ac42be0a895&utm_source=Campaign Monitor Personally, I don't see that it outweighs their choice to keep money laundering alive through pokies, but that's the great thing about democracy, everyone gets one opinion and 1 vote
  12. Just looking at those pics, eg https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/PwHfWoNncd4N07r7FlDaaCdBCqYsqgam4Mz-bVOtxmZKg6KSyST8qYER57QnU5-PkkZqKoLJ9srx6n5XjRrQ7MvLQNuk8m9l3qY2TC4oezAo5TnzY0kX9xh3HDGyC5XLBMxgbwTS941eItVUbLz2S2pKcI9dldlhDxu9VBWWxfQJXCedzLCSO-Cs8M9Vz00MuGzEbHN3j8O5ccV3iTRzTBeMhlcVwmye6iQOJHyG33gdtxYGERryz_vsa5WNTGiZCl0sAp19diUj9TQ9K8i6VyX8dz5gWR_988DApSuTHrJIEeL10EYueto_ghIVm-Rcl6NEUbidlNrYmk6nOqYi9fCh3SrfCwfVsFQV8OQkXYHxKBgRHhRQAZr9_ejpbc6uU_B1CeyN5h5mesacy51p7eWvKbuGlCj1afovI61nqCBXsm8WKPM4PSr01Udzd6O3lBsKo3syr9g86bEkntfkZpEJjr9i14P1lFeq_IUGP-vfenEiOHMFvbRIgFEUdGTor-hMN060RYmsRRG625zzrUvjJIy8BX8IhIRfPfMfjyu8LmiEPhAtF0WZsaCNLDz7vOOYrmB8Ejdiq-NyzX0Z_fIN9LDS6ow1ZwzElLDG3tsvY2dhE6Onr5TFbN_MBaCJPcHiXtSO_Fko7jIQYxg3VX1ux-a7B7NKUXrKrjSvmkOzf0teA1eq8QYD3H66bIa28olM0MtU5vw61-z07SKIfxfLaHdWo-JFWaT9jk9xzUKa6PVuBFpABjIG0GOVaILiIex3BcQBFuvm-RuoJGQPbsbM82vpmPxfeSLwEQdjFHg6baQbhUo-R8FGofmaD9IEMiJqcwro0dtR_r2xhmpK0mOjbzq6nGN8Je6iWh2ViUj_XJav_QgcyVQaZaLqO_wLTSV2hhHSKL0CXbCbRN-X92RS9eVbeCj8K0GpIoGCQIsdSJUg6A=w958-h722-no?authuser=0 shows up for me as
  13. I'm afraid this user is failing the Turing test
  14. Yeah they are meant to be a press fit from factory, similar setup in later RBs too.
  15. do you know what computer it is using (standard maybe)? what happens past 3k, does it stutter/pop (missfire) and not rev higher?
  16. Nah, it's all poly in the back of the race car, rose joints not allowed. Also keep in mind that toe is static. Depending on how/if bump steer is set that becomes toe out under power with standard or standardish length upper front link.
  17. Actually, I was going to suggest Dose might want to try it with 0 toe, I've preferred that in both rwd and 4wd R chassis. With rear toe in you gain stability under power but lose "responsiveness" from the rear in slower speed turns. You do need to be comfortable with the way it responds.... Also you will get more tyre wear and theoretically less power to the ground as the tyres are not pointing forward.
  18. Yeah pineapples are a simpler and more adjustable solution than changing the subframe bushes which is a big, subframe out job. Pineapples let you change the angle of the subframe to improve (or worsen if you are a hectic drifter) the rear traction. Replacement subframe bushes might or might not have the same geometry as standard, or might also change the angle as pineapples can, it is worth checking before installing. Raising the subframe is a good way to lower the car without wrecking the roll centre geometry (back to OP's question) but space there is very tight depending on the chassis and setup (eg ATTESSA pump on top)
  19. I'm not sure if you mentioned, but a good mechanical limited slip diff will make a big difference in a 2wd r chassis. Also, it would be worth posting up you ride height (centre of wheel to guard) front and rear and also your alignment, plus any specific issue you have noticed (turn in understeer, mid corner understeer, corner exit oversteer, instability in a straight line etc etc)
  20. With a low use, high power car like my Stagea I go the grippiest tyre without the noise and tramlining of a semi slick. The tyre might only last 15,000klm, but you don't really notice if it takes 5 years to get there. Plus, there's no point driving round on crappy tyres and spinning wheels every time you hit boost. It is very hard to work out what a good high performance street tyre is though....every brand is happy to sell a super expensive "ultra performance" tyre, but where would you find an unbiased comparison of them?
  21. Good on them for quick response. I don't suppose they confirmed the dash wire pin too?
  22. Looks awesome, and welcome to SAU!
  23. There is also a minor difference in the fuel rail, the 33 has connector mounts front and rear, 32 has 2 at the rear of the fuel rail
  24. Yeah semi slicks have an amazing variation in width, you really have to check the actual tyre you want to use rather than go off the sidewall
