After fitting new power transistor last night and regapping plugs, I went for a bit of a fang up my favourite hill near my house (Ewen St in Doubleview).

Wouldn't you know it - was pulled over by a cop who was a few hundred meters behind me. As I wasn't (overly) speeding, I wasn't too concerned.

He (an older guy on a bike) asked why there were flames comming out of my exhaust?!

Before I had a chance to think of an excuse, out he came with it:

"it smells a bit rich - is your carby adjusted correctly?"

About to add a smart arse comment, but didn't want a detailed inspection of my "Jap spec" Cat, so just answered that I had it serviced today and planned to take it back there again tomorrow as "flames out of the exhaust" are obviously "not good".

He then cautioned about 50 km/h in built up streets etc and went on his way.

Just lucky on that occasion - a cop who is ignorant, but otherwise pleasant to deal with.

PS - might get my dizzy and points checked also:p

Thay got triple CD Strommies(Bafirst Torrys got Webers) mate and GTRs have special heavy points for revin to 5500rpm but you can put some foam in the points to make em go to 6000 or get a trick twin point dizzy.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
