Launceston cruise planned for Saturday 26th May

What an interesting day.

Attendances: Myself (32 GTS-t), Ian & Matt (Supra), Ben & Luke (32 GT-R)

Enjoyable drive not too much traffic , bite to to eat at lunch time.

Heading home after an enjoyable day when disaster struck

My 32 had cooked itself at Holwell Halfway between Frankford and Beaconsfield

Much steam from under the hood and temperature guage through the roof

After a cool down period we managed to Limp in to Beaconsfield but pulled the pin

as the temperature had come up again.

So faced with the prospect of a costly and/or time consuming tow back to Launceston

I was extremely surprised and grateful for the offer from Ben & Luke to head back into town

and return with a trailer to get my baby home.

I cannot thank them enough for all the trouble they went to considering we'd only met earlier that day.

So a BIG THANKS to Ben & Luke for all there help and patience when dealing with the the traffic

leaving the football @ York Park.

Early indications are a leaking bypass hose near the starter motor hopefully nothing more sininster than that.

But all in all still an enjoyable day.

Glad to hear it's most likely a small problem.

Yeah replaced a shirt hose down near the starter motor apprx 4" long. Old one had a small hole.

Quick check of sensors etc

flushed radiator, refilled, pressure tested, removed resevoir, emptied, cleaned, refilled.

Done.

Running at normal temperature so far so good.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
