    Cat Temp Light

    in General Maintenance

    Posted

    So, i have an update....

    I was driving it to the place i was getting it looked at.... the light came on while i was driving & i lost all power... I changed down gears & pumped the accelorator, until i finally regained power & it made a bang sound... then i regained power & it hasnt boosted so hard since i have had it. ANDDD the light hasnt come back on since :) :)

    Im de-gutting my cat this weekend, so i will see how it goes again....

    Yeah i think at this stage im just going to gut the cat..... Ive got the boost pretty low so i doubt thats it.....

    i honestly think ive got a few dramas atm.. which isnt unexpected, its an old car :)

    But she is still my girl no less!

    I just checked the oil level - just to see....

    Its on high, but it smells a bit like fuel (not sure if thats normal or not)

    But the cat light/engine light doesnt flash - it stays on & the car wont start .... when it cut out on me whilst idling the other day it came on & the car turned off within a second... it was weird...

    Im pretty sure ive got two issues going on atm...

    Im going to do an oil pressure test & gut the cat at this stage... see whats going on...

    Because mine is an earlier GTR im not sure if it has two sensors for the cat or just the one... a mate was saying if there is two i think you can disconnect it & bridge it somewhere ( i cant quite remember)

    Ive got an Apexi Power FC here ready to go in if need be

    Yeah, it does have a few issues......

    I think i might take it to a specialist.....

    Anyone know any good ones in/around Wollongong

    it would make sense though if the altenator was going dead - that wld explain the battery light & also the Cat/engine light - but oil pressure... not so sure...

    The gentleman who i bought it from said he has recently replaced the battery... so it could be a start point

    Hey guys,

    I have just recently purchased my 89 GTR.....

    I've had it for a couple of weeks & now i'm having starting issues - when i start it, its sometimes a little rough but fine when i drive, but if i try and start it while its warm or leave it idling the cat light comes on & the car shuts itself off- mind you its only idling for 30 seconds tops, battery light comes on & also the oil pressure goes right down & light comes on also.

    I have absolutely not a clue whats causing it..

    Any ideas?!

    :wacko:

    Skyline Ti Burnout Car

    in General Automotive Discussion

    " The OP was originally talking about putting a windsor in her skyline Ti burnout car, hence my post a engine originally designed for NASCAR back in the sixties. There are lots of great engines out there soooo why stick to 1 brand and its the OP's money. AaronNM35.....Cool Starry Bra! "

    I was actually talking about a cleveland not a windsor. :glare:

    Clev 90 degree V

    Windsor is 60 degree v

    so same cubic capacity... plus a 4 inch bore x 3 1/2 inch stroke

    Both share those dimensionsn but Clevo bottom end is heaps stronger than a Windsor....

    :happy:

    Bmw In V8 Supercars

    There's nothing wrong with Group C.......after all I grew up in the seventies! (my wife denies that I ever grew up)

    Just kidding. (not about growing up in the seventies)

    Oh BTW, BMW were very competitive in Group C with the 635CSi and 323i John Player Specials.

    Granted they may not be to your taste but BMW have built some extremely fast cars over the decades.

    Nothing that dominated their class like an R32 GTR, but always competitive.

    I would love to see them race against each other, but if they are going to knobble them so that they are all equal, then apart from the advertising there's not much point, is there?

    The BMW would just become a German V8 Supercab, no faster or slower than its rivals.

    If however the inclusion of BMW was to force advances in the technology of the cars in the class, now that would be something else entirely.

    Then they wouldn't just be 2011 cars with 1957 engines in them.

    yeah lol.. my uncle Frank races the XD army falcon...

    Yeh i think there are still a couple of beemers.. well there used to be anywho that still race..

    Yeah i know they have done some really good things... but i spose... each to their own.. just not my taste.. and i spose i dont know much about their history too.. :happy:

    I suppose im just against it because im a v8 girl.. and its always been holden and ford... i like it that way.. but i spose if it does happen... it will make it interesting... :D
