*Language warning.

Dont worry Snowballs, the fridge will be stocked with more stubbies of harden the fcuk up than you can poke a stick at for your journey west. There will be no cino's in sight. :D (And no I am not lactose intolerant, I just like the taste!!! :dry: a bit like bacon, pancakes and maple syrup...dont knock it till you tried it..)

Oh, and re the car, dont sell the unreliable bucket of shit. Just keep throwing more money at it and have it sorted by mid 2007 please!!! :D

Don't worry mate. I've decided to keep it. Although I'm going to take the 2530's off and put some N1's on and slowly get it ready for some Targa style events - but it will be kick ass come mid 2007 just for you.

In return you just have to make sure the engine is warm for me on Sat 23rd Dec at the AHG driving centre so I can get straight off the plane and straight into your little rocket.

yep.

a) seems all my problems have started since I started chasing more power.

b) response is better for Dutton stuff than absolute power in 90% of events

c) can easily get the car ready for Mt Buller / Lake Mountain now with just a cage which is something I'd love to do.

d) The 2530's have to come off anyways to fix a gasket leak so it seemed like a good time to do it.

e) If I get the urge down the track to sell it again it will be easier to sell if it's in full Targa Spec than it's current specs.

Lame!

Fancy putting smaller turbos on a car... what happened to you Snowie? You have lost your way :huh:

Bin the 2530s and do it properly and throw some 2835s at it. With your form and gearboxes you will need a new one sooner rather then later so just throw a closer ratio gearset in there...Now how much fun would that be?

...trust me, im an expert of telling others how to spend their money only to go slower. :laugh:

There's no question your car would be good enough to win the event Aaron - but the question is are your skills good enough to get Scotsman to co-drive with you.

He has pretty high ambitions for Dutton 2007 so you might need to come to a cone hitting day and prove your not just a track robot. :(

No need for practice. That stuff is all too easy.

After seeing how wrecked your car is now though, I may pass up on it. The 50 hard core launches aren't nice to the car...

The good news is Chris wants to do it in his car - so that saves you that problem!

And Bribsy - get off the roids mate.

Hey Snowy, maybe you have already, but having done a 34 V-spec II for targa Tas this year, you might wanna go right through the rules of mods mate. To enter a car legally as an N1, it needs to have everything to factory N1 spec. Meaning, for eg., you need to purchase a genuine 34 N1 oil cooler kit, at, wait for it.... $11,000 when we last checked!!!! P*SS OFF!! lol.... so we ran with a V-Spec II with some susp/boost/exhaust/Power FC. Came 11th with full dry weather that didn't suit us.... oh, with no brakes after lunch on day 3! lol :O

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time.

      My BMW 335i

      This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins.

      Was the car running before he touched the car?
