yes andrew, ive changed my mind.

i wanna see the assholes that started these fires burn. no hearings. no court cases. no chance to defend themselves. i want to see them burn.

luke jacobs i think.

Yeah +1 to that. Throw the book at them (or set the bastards on fire).... fundraiser would be good but I dunno how far we can go with our general SAU turnout.. then again even a small amount of cash would be better than nothing... could do a BBQ like Damo suggested? Everyone brings a plate of food/meat and $10? Then donate the cash to salvos or red cross or some other charity that's helping people out

-D

what would that achieve? the law is so f**king lax. if its a kid they'll get a f**king slap on the wrist. actually, an adult would get nothing more than that too. shit, couple years with no parole at most? burn the motherf**kers.

Bugger! Think my turbo is on its way out. Making some minor "rattling" noises (sounds like dry bearings) under the engine bay. No harm to performance at all. Runs the same and perfectly fine. Its just some odd noise I can hear when I'm not blowing my brains out with Linkin Park. I'm pretty sure its the turbo. Getting it checked out on the way home tonight by some mob in Regency Park. :(

Maybe a 3071 is due! :D

Or I might just keep the stock turbo and rebuild it with new bearings so the cops are happy. :P

Edit: I'll also add ...

When I shut the engine off, I hear the faint noise for another 5 secs after. Perhaps bearings in turbo spooling down? The only thing I can think of that would still be 'rotating' or 'running' after the engine is off. I'd like to think its something else, but must be realistic.

Any ideas at all what it would cost me? Ballpark figure? :(

Yeah I think the problem is that you listen to Linkin Park, the rattling noise is the tinnitus haha

-D

Confirmed. Turbo core is rattly and on its way out. $1700 to rebuild.

Do I go with rebuilding it or would a 3071 be better with less lag?

For $1700, what do I do people? :P

Edited by RubyRS4
f**k 1700? a guy in melb hiflows for 800? You can get more power out of a 3071r :P but do you wanna upgrade injectors, fuel pressure reg, fuel pump, z32afm, etc etc?

I'm with damo on this. If u get defected you'd have to take the FPR, AFM and turbos off. I know you're mechanically smart enuff to do that, I'd just be wondering if its worth the money/hassle.

That said, 3071's are hardcore :P DO EEEET!

-D

damo remember what happened 2 me with ur 800 dollar rebuild lol

naaa hes a good guy my stock turbo housing was apparently stuffed( even tho my car was running fine with it b4 i sent it to him !), dont worry about that reuben just get a garret or somthing

It's definetly worth the hassle, time and money otherwise no one would buy anything....300rwkw is definetly worth the risk. loll

Hows this for good.

have a few drinks with one of my fav musical groups from LA two weeks ago.

Watch their second show last thursday. have a few more drinks. and chit chat. real nice people.

Ask me and a friend to come party with them in Las vegas in May. then stay with them in LA where they live. show us around etc.

My answer was yes. :P

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -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).
