hmm, at least i know i have that option if this other one blows.. haha

That party end up being any good? :(

Mine was pretty meh. Was occupied half the night with a gorgeous little 16 y/o bird but missed a few of my mates rocking up :( Went and did the rounds saying g'day to everyone who rocked up in that time then left to stay at a chick friends house.

No hangover or come down = win though. Now off to work :)

nope, the one i went to blew like a 2 dollar hooker.

they kept chucking tyres on the fire and dutching out the whole place. i left after an hour.

you end up at the one in palmer?

had a rather gay letdown to my day.....thought that i had a misfire due to the car being sitting for so long and having so much fuel flooded thru when the auto elec was tryin to get the fuel pump wiring working. decided whilst doing other things this arvo to check out the plugs, seems #2 has something wrong, as there was a fair bit of oil over the plug, and after having a peek down into the cylinder theres a fair whack of oil on top of the piston

narrowed it down to the following

gasket gone, letting oil into the cylinder

cracked ring land

crack in the head

bent valve guide

wont know till i have had it looked at, but is rather gay none the less

I would say Valve Stem seal.

While the car was sitting the oil has worked past the seal into the cylinder.

any way i can prevent this? i mean, i try and run it for about 20 mins twice a week. downside with not being able to drive it anywhere

    • -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
