Stuart, more rice for the whale! Need an idea on where to fit the sender though. Thoughts?

:D

nothing rice about using good quality American gauges.

I fail to see why a gauge requires the need for an "opening and closing ceremony"....its not the bloody olympics!

Edited by DiRTgarage

the thermostat housing is on the side of engine underneith intake manifold, so it wont be going there, besides it has to go before the thermostat, not after. id say just swap it out with standard guage sender, as it would be gay to run two temp guages, full auto salon temp tacho style.

Top Hose with one of those adapter thingos......or just tap the thermostat housing

No updates in more than a month. Goes in for a tune on Saturday and will post results.

Dropped the oil filters yesterday and found stuff-all of any interest. That was pretty positive. Also discovered the best thing NOT to wear when working on a car is jewelery/watch.

I had the fuse cover off the fuse/relay box on the driver's side and was tightening the main oil filter line up when my watch touched both the positive terminal on the battery and the throttle body. Trouble was, my hand was stuck (I had put some effort into wedging it in there to get to the fittings) and it took several goes and lots of swearing to get it out. All the while big sparks were flying and my arm was burning.

I tore my watch off only to realise that the back of it was burning my other hand so i threw it on the ground and went to run cold water on my wrist. It looked okay till about 20 mins later.

don't forget to do the deal with Lee...get onto him...he said he'd have it done by now.

You need to get onto him and chase it, mate. I'm happy to pick it up and send it up to you though.

The boss bought some tyres from Ozzy (that your mate referred him to) so there was no money to be made on them. :(

Even worse, they didn't fit on the front end so he bought two sets! :)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
