hi Guys,

Just moved up to brisbane on monday and was getting my liner todays from the Carmovers place... but when i got there the guy said, he can not put the car in to gear.....and i was like WTF, cos there was nothing wrong with the clutch in melbourne....it is a stock item and was ferfect when i drove it to the car movers lorry last friday...

so any idea what must have happend or.....has my clutch really is gone after travelling in a car mover....cos thats just odd....it has so far never missed a beat before in driving.....

how is the clutch pedal?

when they say it won't go into gear, have they tried rocking the car to make sure it isn't just not lined up properly?

was the car transported in neutral or in gear? if it was in neutral then i'd say that is the problem. my mate had a vb commodore and happened to be changing gears when he hit a bump and lost use of that gear for a while due to the selector slipping out of place.

well, the gear goes when you give the cluth and accelarate nothing happens....the car just dont move....anyway looked in the site and made an appoiment with

High tech automotive enchancements @ Wooloongabba, cos there were mention by memebers in the QLD page...

hopefully nothing big cos the clutch was all fine.......ALWAYS.....

good lesson for using cheap car movers..should have used someone like TNT vehicle logostics......lesson learned.

My clutch pedal bracket broke, and thus putting my foot on the clutch and trying to engage in gear it didnt like it, pulled out the clutch lever plus bracket and lookey! the bracket had snapped and i had to get it re welded. Have you looked at that perhaps?

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
