what happened to everyone last night ??

After I left the park where the first bunch of photos were taken, I went back up to the cliffs to see what was happening with Jyo's 32...its not a happy car and needed to be towed :laugh:

We didn't end up leaving there until 8.00pm :)

The guys thought it was a sparking problem and decided to remove the spark plugs, to which they discovered one was very badly cracked and damaged...so they replaced all 6 spark plugs. They tried to start the car again, and while it was now sparking, it did not actually start and it appeared to then be an issue with the fuel pump, which is when they decided to organise a tow :)

Ended up headin down to Kangaroo Point park area underneath the story bridge for some photo shoots. We tried to get as many as we could in with people parked on the grass area but then ended up having to move on cause of a wedding that was either happening there or for some wedding photo's themselves.

Then moved onto Southbank for some photo's with the city as the backdrop. Havent yet seen the photo's off the camera but from what I saw when taking them, they actually turned out really well. Unfortantly I think we lost a few people heading from underneath the story bridge to southbank which is why we ended up with just 6 in the end.

The big problem I found was that we didnt group together at the top of kangaroo point to actually listen/discuss ideas for backdrops. Other issue was parking of course at the top of kangaroo point as I didnt actually expect this to be all that busy up there of that time of afternoon.

I'll post up shortly the photo's once I've got a spare hour today here at work.

Sorry to hear - hope you get it all sorted out Jyo - would have been good to have another 32 there... there was only 2 of us so we looked quite sad lol

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
