^^ 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)

    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
    • Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
