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.

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!!

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
