lol, good reason not to read the paper,

there are some, not very much activity recently, coffee meets pop up every now and then, which usually end with a cruise, but that hasnt happened recently either, i wouldnt mind goin out for a cruise or something this weekend or sometime soon

I think absolutely everyone should wait until my car has her new engine and then we can all go. Until then, no one is allowed to do anything without my permission.

what's happened to your old engine?

any work done to the new one?

That's a good question!

New one I just bought off an Import Auto Wrecker in 17 Mile Rocks just as a plain Bare Long Motor with no such plans as the last engine. SPeaking of which was rebuilt after 117k's and had all new bearings, forged pistons with plans of high mounted turbo's etc etc all the goodies, and then the crank died. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick BANG! So that dead motor is in there now and im ripping it out, throwing in the new long motor and putting all my other stuff on it, manifold, turbo, coilpacks etc etc :( So just looking at getting it back on the road and reliable again basically.

Then there are a few bumps and scratches on rear bar that magically appeared after I had it towed a few months ago....but the towing company knew nothing about it. :D hmmm.....so they are going to fixed up as well.

Yay :S

But then it's back in my baby and spening lots of $$ on fuel again woohoo!

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
