What an angry angry engine, Finally got it to run after a hell of a lot of dicking around. Man i seriously felt like pushing it in to the back yard and parking it permanently. Thank god some young fellas have more patience than me.

Mick and shane plugged away while i went and sulked and before you know it its idling and it sounds like armagedon.

Wonder how many mufflers you can fit to a gtst.

Shane and i drove it round the block and all systems appear to be working, brakes are an issue. hard hard pedal and very average stopping power.

Hopefully it goes on the dyno tomorrow , Mick the magician can cast his spell on it and make it quiet as a church mouse with a gazillionty horsepower. :P

ahhhhh i just had a fat attack, i dont want to sell mine now.....i want to put the 25 in it.

That sounds farken stoopidly horny old man, shotgun a straight line run in it. i dont want to go round corners with you with that much power.

Just make sure you dont break it.

So what was the problem anyway?

Can it be told or?

Sure mate, No secrets here. It wasnt one problem as such but several very annoying stupid niggles.

Wrong injectors first, then a crook afm, then a dodgy signal wire from the afm to the puda, then a cas niggle. It was really starting to piss me off. On top of that the puda didnt recognise any of the engine settings till magic Mick tapped out several different sets of new numbers on the lappy and away it went.

It hasnt been tuned yet, but hopefully that will happen today. The numbers are all safe for me to at least mosey it around to the workshop and thats excactly what i will do shortly.

Sick!!

can i push the accelerator at some stage??? while stationary of course.

Its kewl dude, i've seen you drive remember. :thumbsup:

yeah true, did you still want to take a ride in mine to check the suspension?

just letting you know after talking with a few people, if mine doesnt come up to scratch i will prob be looking to put SK's gear in it. but if mines ok then it'll stay, but my ride height is gaying up my handling atm...which is kinda surprising how it will handle when it is set right.

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
