i looked down my driveway and what do i see...a nice stream of green liquid! yayyy new water pump! no car for the weekend...mechanic said $300 to fix it. dam these thing always happen on fridays so u dont have the car all weekend. :)

I would be very happy with it only being $300 to fix.

Its quite a big job replacing the waterpumps on these RB's.

You require coolant... The water pump, there's almost $150 in parts.

Then you have to remove the radiator, all fan belts, harmonic balancer, timing belt, remove the water pump replace it then all those bits go back on again. $300 is a very good price and who ever it is is definitely looking after you. :)

anyone know the legalities of driving on prescription narcotics? :P ie insurance, police/courts, etc

on Endone now for a while..... man it makes a huge difference to the knee pain, its amazing :P whats more it aint giving off the fuzzy-head pill-syndrome,so thats good.

oi - how about this damn avatar???!! wicked, found it on ebay

GARRETTURBO.jpg

got a drive in a SRT8 Jeep. Its only slightly slower than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S. It does a 5.1 0-100, not bad for a 2 tone car :) It's now the fastest car that we sell, Its even faster that the lighter 300C SRT8

When you put your foot down there is no wheel spin it just launches off and get really fast quickly. And it sounds fantastic with its standard 3" twin exhausts

But then again for 85K you can get a fast GTR that doesn't need to be refuelled every few Km's

You tube have a few decent vids of the SRT8 Jeep.

Interesting... They appear to be running High 13's. :S

Unsure if they are stock, sounds stock. Apparently the ecu also limits throttle until a few kays have been pushed up on it.. Not sure how true that is.

lol...

I came across a snip from a bathurst vid I chopped 2years or so ago.

Awesome little clip this... Pure Power down the straight.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
