IOm with craig 33 on this one roo.

Hes probably just trying to find ways to get more off the price. Ended up being a tryekicker/joyrider. DICKHEAD

With the engine idling you should be able to hear it leaking around the area with the old garden hose to your ear trick id say

Yeah, it sounds like a minor screamer. Which I had always assumed was just the wastegate opening and the fact it has a bellmouth dump pipe. Happened with the last turbo too ... leak both times? So its either normal, or I got a small exhaust leak. No performance loss, no loss in boost, just noise. I'm aware of the hose-to-ear trick and I'm giving it a go tomorrow. Only does it high rpm/max boost.

Still wouldn't mind just putting mind to rest and ticking that one off the list. :ermm:

I'm certain he was working on knocking me down in price. Asked me if I could take Stagea to boostworx for a check, then if all okay he'll buy. Nope. Done that before in the past. Potential buyer got me to take it to Hitech and came up with false problems and tried haggling for a free car pretty much :D Then left me with the bill for the inspection. Never again. As is, or not. :P

That could be the case, but I know when I bought my GTR off David, he already had the report from Boostworx... so I paid him the price he was asking :P

do people out south all drive 800cc 3 cylinders diahatsus and not do anything illegal or "hoon"-like while driving?

dont make me pull the statistics out that the advertiser printed in there "hoon" article, went something like northen area 400ish, southern area 100ish lol

i think western suburbs actually did well, they had the lowest number of hoons caught (hoon being anything from a burnout to drink driving bare in mind)

maybe they just hoon harder and dont stop for the cops

down the dirty south cops might be scared to pull those mofo's ova :cheers:

another thought could be maybe the cops are more quick to slap hoon charges on people around the north than the south. maybe for failing to indicate when turning or attempting to keep you carby injected fuel management system idleing at the lights(being your right foot)

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
