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!!

too much laser love

Mangs. Just checking in from an Irish pub with free wi fi in Dubrovnik.

Cars of interest spotted in Europe so far:

one 180sx in Rome, but I think it may have been it's American cousin the 240sx.

And one four door 35 with infinity badges.

And lots of vw's

not when it comes to Fords ;)

Fords are awesome ;)

I am working on it. Beers here are $2 for pints.

Almost as good as hong kong, $5 for a four pack, sold at 7eleven and petrol stations

having fun bigfella?

Having fun, but as for hot beer wenches, can't quite give them the attention they deserve as my wife is with me at almost all times.

But as a general rule, Croatia seems to be filled with stunners.

Not like Serbia.....

I got this message from a dude on Boostcruising about a VG30DETT:

Hey mate i found out about the motor for you, it comes with everthing, turbo's ect. except no wiring harnes. It has dropped pressuse from one of the cyclinders but he dosen't know which one???? Apart from that he said it runs great. He said the price is $600 Neg.

What do you think?

Agree on the no. f**k the VG. Oh and as I said to John last night. f**k YOU GUYS. Burn Notice is awesome and I ended up going to bed at 2am last night because I couldnt stop watching them. Now I've got to stay in work and do my uni assignment because I know if I go home I'll never get anything done lol.

But Dan might know how to work some VG magic :blink:

Well, I question old mate's diagnostic technique.

He says:

It has dropped pressuse from one of the cyclinders but he dosen't know which one????

now by 'dropped pressure' I would assume that means no compression? But how he tells it has no compression in 1 cylinder without testing them I don't know, and if he'd tested them he'd know which one it is. If its actually got no compression on 1 cylinder, forget it, its f**ked.

IF he actually means "not firing" on 1 cylinder then it could be something simple causing no fuel or spark to that cylinder, in which case it would probably be a very easy fix.

I would suggest, if you have any intention on buying it, do a compression test on it first and if the cylinders aren't all in spec and fairly even, then stay far FAR away, it's not worth the hassle.

If you can get the VG for like $400 I'd say go for it, if a cylinder is f**ked rebuild it yourself :D

The laser's now rolling on some sweet nolathane bushes in the front ;) oh yeahhhh

    • Today, I'm a Breville BES920 tech, new triac board and new 3x way solenoid. Had overheating issues, home RCD tripping when it got warm, and the boiler stayed on when the machine was shut off. Also, usually 3x way solenoid chatter, this is the 3rd time I'm replacing it. Mind you, this machine is 9 year old and send it every day doing at minimum 3x double shots. When the in laws come over to took after my daughter, it will easily see 6x double shots in a single day. Tried to be somewhat compliant, crimped and then used a screw connector over the top. Would have preferred to use heat shrinks.   After all that, turns out all the overheating has damaged the o-rings to the steam tap as well. Ordered new ones, coming soon.  
    • Still got it- First time checking sau in a while ahhaha
    • I don't know about that. I can hoon my R32 around - hard launches, high lateral Gs - with <<1/4 tank without any such shenanigans. This with the previous 040 and the current GSS342. I would suspect a fuel line problem. One of the hoses associated with the top of the tank perhaps.
    • This is amazing. Love that you’re giving the boys an intro to cars and off the screens. They probably have an insta for the car and build posts on TikTok for their mates.
    • It is.  Your car works fine with the tank full. If you drive like a Nana it works fine.  You give it a boot full with half a fuel tank, you get surge.  It 100% is a fuel surge issue. Maybe have a look at installing a Hydramat if you don't want to install a surge tank.  https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/hydramat/
