haha, at first i thought ben was doin it on purpose, then he pulled over and i was like

but thankfully it wasnt anthying bad!

spewin we missed the tunnels though!

Craig, continuing from the accident thread.

I get looks and sAfrican Americans all the time man. Every from my own family, especially my dad.

One night at tea we were sitting down eating and I was telling him something about my car. He got up and walked into the kitchen came back with the bin and put it on the table then said to me "Here, put your money in here" and walked out.

yeah, some people just dont understand the passion mate.....

my GFs mum was the same, but i got her good,

she smokes and plays pokies, atleast i had something to show for my money!

I WIN OLD LADY!

you work hard for your money, do what you wish with it imo!

cant you just weld it up Cubes, or is it totally stuffed??

I could try all though the heat may? damage the actuator, nothing to loose though I guess lol.

I need to replace the actuator any way as when tuned the most boost it would hold was 17psi and now with similar ambient temps its down to 16.6psi.

Wound a heap of preload on to it ~10-15mm but made no difference. The gate is being blown open which is partially due to the dump design but its better than having boost creep as its easily fixed. :)

if you get water onto it straight away it should stop the heat travelling down the metal, if you can get it off i could have a go at welding for you as i work at Ascott welding :P

Thanks for the offer but its all done. I only have an arc welder but its fine for little jobs like this. The weld appears to be plenty strong.

The old man has a mig but be buggered if i can get the travel speed + wire speed + amps + gas all sorted out to get a decent weld. :P

Now to find the end bit that screws on and attaches to the wastegate flapper arm. Hopefully I didn't leave it in the engine bay last night when it was dark while I was cursing. :S

FREE STUFF!!!

-bleed valve

-rb25 top radiator hose

-R33 door sills

-rb25 turbo heat shield

-mushroom pod filter (not the best for the bigger power cars (sufficated my 33 after 3000 rpm)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
