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

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.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
