Shit! did it just came off because it wasnt tighten? I got that once and was blowing black smoke all the way back home... (lucky for me its only a few kms away).

Yeah I was blowing black smoke while pulled over, couldn't even get it to move, it was idling around 200 and sputtering.

It was tight as anything, I just installed my pod cover a month ago and tightened and rechecked all the piping connections... when it popped off today I'd been pushing it reallllllly hard for the previous half hour or so, out bush on mountain roads hahaha. I'm thinking maybe some new clamps would be a good idea before I head out there again.

yea... clamps or have an extra cover over it. I've seen some that got wrapped up in black rubber stuff with clamps on both ends. If you include the original pipe clamps thats 3 in total!

What happened???

I think my thermostat isn't working :) Temp on the dash board said it was ok but when it was cool it took two litres of water in the radiator. Fouled up one of the plugs and was only running on 5 cylinders. A hose on the intake was split and sucked a bunch of sh_t into the throttle body. Fun fun fun... considering I only just got it serviced not that long ago :laugh:

Seems to be ok now. Keep my fingers crossed and everything else too :(

Sup all. Heads up for anyone that was planning on coming down to visit today I probably won't be home till 4ish have to do another run back home to pick up some shit that got left behind yesterday. I'm keeping my license till the 14th though so we can do a final cruise

/housewarming next weekend? I'll probably head down the spit this afternoon though for anyone who is interested.

Jeez, I thought I had a bad time sitting on a highway service road for half an hour finding my problem..... Jason it sounds like you're having a LOT more fun than me :)

Sorry to hear mate... got everything going good now though yeah?

+1 for next weekend. But keep in mind of the drag day on Saturday!

Didnt vspec said he was gonna organize a photo shoot next Sunday after he got his car repainted? Any news?

Cleaned the plug it was all fouled up. Started it up and idled ok. You go to the hamilton pub ? Im sure I've seen your car parked there a couple of times.

Not looking forward to the drive to toowoomba to drop my daughter off. If anyone is going that way around 3 i'll be leaving ipswich then so if you see me broked down... can you give me a lift ?

Not sure if i can come yet but are any of you guys heading out to the drag arvo convoy style .....

You can organize 1. I'll probably be heading there with john and adam if he's coming at all

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
