^^ Ohhhh were all gettin new cars hey!! Last night i ordered my 19s, today i got Ryan to get me some Coilovers, and im about to book into Auto Perfection for some nice tint and alarm!!

So Skandy what are you gonna be getting now then??

Lee whens your beast land on a dock near you??

Well the legnum was in Brisbane on March 2 - but only got cleared from Customs on March 20! Rang Toll yesterday (doing transport from Bris-Adel) And the car should be at the depot on Monday March 31. Then off to Premium Motor Co for compliance, so expecting to be on road HOPEFULY by Friday April 18.

In the mean time my parents are off to NZ for 2 weeks, so i'll have Dad's 275rwkw XR6-T to drive for a couple of weeks, from April 6 :ermm: So next week should be the only week my wife and I will be down to 1 car.

My mate owns a 309.9rwkw xr6-t ute. Youve probably seen it around. It's red with the numberplates SLOW. Driven it a heap of times including back from melbourne....To be honest id rather drive my 33.

^Don't get me wrong, I certainly wouldn't prefer the XR6T over my legnum, skyline etc. BUT it sure makes a nice daily for a few weeks rather than my sisters old clapped out VT Commodore V6 which was my other offer for a car LOL

So Skandy what are you gonna be getting now then??

dunno, been flirting with the idea of a modded s13 or an ST165 celica GT4, but a few things are changing in regard my living situation, so i know id be better off saving my money... probably means no car for 6 months or so, and the celsior was the only thing keeping me sane, should make for an interesting couple months.

yay, receive final payment on my ute lid tonite.........take it to get taken off tomorrow

securing final details for a canopy :D wagon styles. its going to need a rattle can job (from white to red) but im going to have a shit tin more storage space (its a high roof version, highest point is about 800mm above the edge of the tray :D)

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
