its funny how bad ideas somehow seem good when youre half cut. :D

oh yeah, dtei has 'transport compliance' patrol cars running around, anyone know what the deal is with those?

Just scored myself a set of these Bilsteins and should be here by next Monday

Got some Tein HA Coilovers for sale now.....I'm pretty sure they suit 33's as well.

Can anyone confirm or I'll check it out tomorrow before posting in the "For Sale" thread.

hey guys,

i just had my old shitty cat convertor removed (same cat back from when my 33 was complied) and replaced with a second hand 3 incher that i picked up off a forum member. When we were removing the old one, we noticed that the sensor wasnt even screwed into the cat and was tucked away above the heat shield, and the housing for the sensor was welded shut...

the car ran pretty good however... didnt miss a beat, making nice power.

So after getting the new bigger cat installed, we welded the sensor hole shut, as the last cat had.

Anybody else have this? Is it a disadvantage not having that sensor in (supposedly doing its job)?

Alot of cars especially when a conversion has been done never get them connected..It's the Exhaust temp sensor. Im not entirely sure of its effect of not being connected but they run fine so thats no problem. The ecu gathers all sorts of values from each sensor and calculates its map correction from what it reads to create an ''optimum'' mixture. But like i said ive never really noticed a difference between one being and not being connected. Haven't looked that hard into it however.

    • There was a great one on Victoria Rd in Gladesville too back in the day. I can only assume GTSBoy is thinking of the mill up on the wollondilly, no restaurant there any more but they have restored the original steam engine on site and run it every few months, have an annual steampunk festival etc @The Bogan, you came to the wrong town for restaurants. we have a few reasonable asian and indian options but the Paragon is as good as it gets otherwise. That brewery is apparently just opened, been meaning to give it a go some time. The Highlands have plenty of fancy options but I suspect you are more a hearty eater than fancy eater
    • Thanks for coming back to post the update, maybe it will help out the next person!
    • Going by the intake & injectors I'd be guessing it's a DE, check the head casting number, should be 5L8 on a DET, 5L7 I think is the DE number.
    • For future reference, if you need to use Deutsch connectors but don't have the proper crimper for the round style pins, you can get regular style crimp pins too
    • No. The castings are all the same. As you have the inlet off, simply measure the diameter of the inlet ports and compare with the freely available on the net sizes of turbo and NA. The NA ones are small.
