It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Hey guys I have a problem. Replaced a blown rb20det with another. The new motor arrived with the timing out by 4 teeth. We re did the timing and got it running. But it is idleling rough as guts and the motor will die without throttle. If I give the throttle a tap it jumps up but then will go out of control. Up to 3 Grand then slowly comes back down. I have checked afm iac and cold start valve by unplugging them to see if I get a response. Which I do. I have power and signal going to all injectors and coil packs. All cylinders fire. The ecu has a ewad out of 55 which is no faults. Im out of ideas. Will do a boost leak test tomorrow with soapy water. SO CHEAP! Thanks in advance guys

Hey mate, seems like you have most of the bases covered. Usually the best way to test for leaks is to pressurise the intake.

If you are handy with a welder, weld a compressor fitting onto a piece of pipe with a tap, and weld the end shut. Them simply remove your AFM and clamp it there and slowly crank the pressure up to 30psi.

It is by far the only accurate way to find leaks.

Hey guys did a pressure test on the intake and I have a blown plenum gasket  the supplier I bought it off has a start up warranty on the motor the fact that this was already present has asked for a quote to fix and get the motor running. Lesson: warranty is awesome

After a new clutch cylinder for my car. (P/N: 30620-21U23)

Going to try Brakemart, Repco and Bursons, but just putting this up in case these fail and anyone has one lying around

Its a 3/4 Nabco slave, believe they might be the same as R32 ones, but not 100% sure

Hopefully should be able to source a new one anyway

Really? I dont go there that often. And I always forget to use my racq card anyway lol.

Ended up getting my slave honed and re-sealed by Better Brakes. They had it done in about an hour as well. Looks all shiny and new now :)

Works as well which is a plus

They were originally going to re-sleeve as well but said the bore didnt end up being that bad.

was just shy of $50, noone seemed to stock a new one. Was about to try nissan but dare say it would have been $100 plus

I don't think a re-sleeve would have cost much more, said it was going to be stainless re-sleeve so should last longer, but I'm happy as with the result. Like I said, looks like a brand new one after they sand blasted and re-kitted it

Have a funny feeling it might drive again tomorrow :)

I quite like 34's in yellow

get the wallet out Sean and just do it :P

Get the impression that this is really well looked after as well, has only been lightly modded. Would be a good one

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
