hmm still can't decide wether too drive or not. the clutch is starting to loose pressue, will it be able to last a longish drive?

does any one have a spare seat that they don't mind me going? as i would like tp meet a few people as i didn't really on the victor cruise.

I m coming from Chandlers hill, on the way down to victor it started to rattle in fifth gear, now there is very little pressure on the clutch. It goes to the firewall with little reistance. will get it checked out when i m on holidays at the end of march (there is no way i would let any one from work touch it)

lol

there is still a rattle, the clutch isn't slipping it has just lost all pressure at the peddle. hope fully this isn't going to effect anything

I'm starting to think that i bought bit of a lemon, as they made a point of telling me it had a new clutch just before delivery! hhmmm there may be something in that

no it doesn't smell

as it was new when i got it i don't know what they are meant to be like normally, i might bring my car along and maybe some one can have a feel of the clutch and let me know what you think.

OH MY GOD!!!! so annoying. installed new fuel pump today, all good till the car started to DIE!!!!! power cuts out at random, did an ecu diag, looks like the MAF sensor is gone. so it looks like im out god damn it. i'll see what i can do.

ps anyone got a spare? i cuts in and out maybe a connection problem.

The early Q45's tend to suffer from this too. Have you tried cleaning it? Put dielectic grease on the connector?

Checked to see if the connector is on snug?

I cleaned mine with CO CONTACT CLEANER, but any electrical parts cleaner that leaves no residue will do the job just as well. Also, If you use a pod filter, whch requires oiling (K&N), the oil can actually coat the filament in the sensor, and cause it to act like it's dying.

Get a can of electrical parts cleaner from just about any Auto parts store, and clean it!

Oh, forgot to mention.

MY TIMING CHAIN GUIDES JUST ARRIVED FROM THE U.S.A!

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
