Hey guys,

Due to the fact I will be looking for jobs up in the mines and oil fields next year, I've been thinking of storing my DR30 cos I really dont want to part with it.

Does anyone have some good tips on storing cars, so I dont come back and find the thing rusted out and f**ked when i want to re-register it in a few years.

cheers

-Glenn

bout to do the same...but as most are 2on 1off....you still have time to wash it and run it for 15 mins every now and then...unless you are locking it in a garage not near home...then do the usual..put on chassis stands..leave doors slightly ajar.(stops rubber squishing)...empty fuel tank and fill with gas so as not to rust..actually..empty all lines and pump and filter too...these days fuel turns to varnish with in 2 months!!......put oil in pistons via sparkplugs...just remember to empty it before starting later on..(remove plugs and turn over..pressure will spurt it all out)...bait the area for mice and roaches...and since you can afford it...get a security patrol to check it once a day!!!!!! and alarm the bdlg!!!

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
