and for the rest of the thread:

Happy birthday Josh and Tristan

I'd probably go along to wherever you're playing football to watch/socialise/eat food while you all run around.

Good luck with the roadworthy ravi. Bring it to BR so we can check it out. And bring some bitches for Martin. There's only so long he can watch through the window before they get a restraining order.

get your tractor fixed thristian?

Yeah I reckon somewhere northside but closish to the center of town is your best bet for footy

yeh mate got it all sorted - gasket fitted, front pipe replaced :) - the jap front pipe fits sooo much better than the cheapo china one that was in it

Martin these are the wheels I have at home. They came off my 33 when I bought it. No idea on offsets but I'm pretty sure they are 8.5 wide. Are these the same ones you were talking about last night?

edit: mine are 17s aswell. the ones in the pic are 16s

zomg sell/give me a pair?

Happy birthday Tristo...

The laser's having a roady done today so fingers crossed hahaha!

thanks sexy

excited for car trips next week?

so, when we're playing with pipes :D

pipe work is done - i think i want twin pipes, im 90mm under the car, but the cannon puts it at 70mm - twin pipes would fix that and look uber lolzz

Yeah happy birthday Tristan!

And happy birthday for yesterday for Nismoh!

<3 :ermm:

Yeah forgot about that. Happy birthday Josh n Tristan ;)

i wnat to touch you

Well it phailed miserably. Got a list to look at, usual crap like brakes, seals (oil leaks etc), one tyre blah blah blah... most of it I should be able to do myself, but rear main seal? Really??? Never taken a box off before, but I'm willing to try... opinions anyone?

Also front and rear link pins? Don't even know what they are lol

gearbox rear main seal? f**k man - front wheel drive boxes are a joke

replace the tyres and brake pads, and degreze the engine bay then call me :)

no idea wtf link pins are :ermm:

no idea wtf link pins are :)

I had link pin suspension on the front of my '73 bug. The '67 had link pin front and rear.

That's probably what they're talking about.

this is what the front of my bugs used to have:

Does the TRD Laser have something similar?

I wish!! f**k I want a dune buggy now!!

So I found out it was the link pin bushes (ends of the swaybars) and a kit for the front or rear is like $20... so I have one and will attempt it this weekend, should be a piece of piss.

Got the brakes too and all the other little things like the clutch rubber thing, nice solid battery clamp wah wah wah.

And yeah I'm gonna degrease the underside around the rear main seal, but the front crank seal + belts, idler blah blah are all gonna get swapped anew when I get some spare cash in a week or two, and that should see me pass roadworthy as the front crank seal + cam seal were the worst offenders for oil leaks. No so keen on doing it myself.

you REALLY want to run spacers on a track car? :)

Yes, hub centric bolt ons a perfectly safe. In fact, CAMS rules state you can have 1 spacer behind each wheel.

Just queensland transport that are gay

dude hit the engine with degreaser and the next day take it back, or take it to a different place :)

Yeah I could do that, but at the same time this car will keep going forever after a bit of TLC, so I might as well do it right the first time.

That's so unlike me, I'm always about the quick fix, just get it good enough.... what the f**k's going on!!

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
