while we are talking bout that kind of shit, i have just put my car in a M&C to get fixed, we cut the front of another r32 and grabbed all the parts off it to transfer onto mine, i will be putting a vertex front bar on along with a intercooler and have replaced heaps of broken parts from before the crash, so once she gets back on the road she will be really nice and clean.

my company hosted a Chrysler 300C cruise and meet on sunday,

they had 17 hemi 300C cruising from the bay up through the hills,

at one stage a cop saw a black one powerslide around a corner when he caught up he found 11 black ones and didn't know who did it, they said he looked a bit confused and ended up driving off and not handing out any fines :)

One week to go...........

Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy + Patellectomy to right knee

Looks like its min 6wees in straight leg brace non weight bearing, so wont be driving the Stagea again until Xmas I suppose.

Sad :) Lets hope it works to plan tho, I dream of being pain-free :P

Cheers deluxe, its a 50/50 really, whether the pain will 'go' as such. Should do, but by taking out the kneecap it just opens another can of whoop-arse.

Black32 - know Exactly what you mean. And thats how Im taking it. Once Im thru with the straight leg brace I'll have a need to buy the BEST brace possible, and become very good friends with it for eva and eva (kneecapless ppl have a habit of falling over a lot)

The tibial work is going to be a pain in the, well, tibia. ;) Had a large splice of the tibia pulled up and repositioned back in 2000; leg wasnt supported properly when I got home & tried to get onto the bed - was the worst pain Ive ever experienced. Not recommended. :)

See if I cant get any nurse specials tho :wave: jk

have you driven the crossfire? can you give us a review..i wouldnt mind test driving one. im assuming you work at chrysler btw

yeah i work at a dealership :spank: yay

mmmmmmmm.........

there not to bad, but then again i wouldn't buy one

the powers not bad for the wieght but they have the usual american car feel when they get to anything thats not straight :P they are a bit uncomfortable on the limit around corners,

one of the salesman has spun one with a customer in it.

want anymore info?

Duc.......Killa engine(Merc) in a MASSIVE Yank tank cannot have good power to weight, surely!

I thought I read somewhere that the chrossfire is just a merc sports (not sure which model) with different panels on the outside. (so its really a merc)

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
