no, turbo will be from Hypergear (TR43 - G2 trim) thinking an intake manifold/fuel rail from CPC and ecu from nistune. Rest of the setup is what i got lying around, intercooler piping will need to be sent out and made. I'll make my exhaust myself

True. I might ebay spec mine if I get the urge later on.

What pisses me off is that Jessica Watson chick, why do I have to pay my good hard earned money for her welcoming party? Imagine how many police, security guards, portaloos, etc were hired for the event. I'm going to work out how much it personally will cost me and withhold it.

But right now I have Becks and the people at liquorland must have left it in the sun for too long, it tastes flat -_-

Everyone is getting upset over this Jessica Watson chick I don't get it? I think it's pretty awesome what she did props to her. I only found out today who she was lol I was hoping it would be Emma Watsons hot younger sister but apparently not.

Fail

Win

Anyone have any advice for getting seized bolts off calipers/wheel hubs? I've used every f**king socket and breaker bar I have + gone and bought new shit and still can't get the f**kers off... used heaps of the degreasing shit that has worked for me before, it gets in and breaks up the gunk. But not on either of these 2 bolts on my LF brake caliper. Gonna stab a kitten soon if I can't get it off.

Orrrrrr anyone wanna lend me a compressor + air tool kit? :):(

I'd use a hammer tbh. Big one.

Hmmmm it's crazy, I've used hammers on spanners/sockets/breaker bars.

I've tried the old jump up and down relentlessly on breaker bar. All that did was move the car, even with the wheels chocked and handbrake blah blah blah.

My best looking option other than a rattle gun is to get another caliper from a wrecker, and angle grind the bolt/caliper off lol. But I'm not terribly confident that it would work 100%, and I'm not sure I wanna risk damaging other parts in there (the disc etc)

You show me you ring spanner I'll show you mine :(

You sly dog, you know you don't have to ask :)

ravi i have air tools and cordless rattle gun

Dannnnnnnnnn that would be well sick if you'd wanna help a brother out... It seems you're the go-to guy for everyone hahahaha. How does the cordless rattle gun work? Is it essentially a cordless drill? Cause it would wanna have a whole shitload of torque behind it to get these f**kers undone...

Hahahaha hollllllly shit.

The wheel hub is 30mm, I have the socket for that on a ...... 1/2" connector I think.

The caliper is around about...14mm or something... I've got the socket as well on a 1/4" connector.

Is that of any use to you?

i'll have to bring my selection of sockets. Most likely will destroy standard sockets with this tool. PM your number. tomorrow arvo ok with you to do this? i'll be there around 5pm or so.

That rattle gun has nothing on my air powered one. It has a little over double that power

Hahahaha jesus titty f**king christ...... I WANT THAT POWER

*that's what she said?*

Yeah sick I'll send you my number... I'm gonna go have another stab at it now and just see what happens

Yesssssss! Got the left front caliper off! Hahaha so that's one thing off the list.

Still need to replace both rear drum brakes and the stud on the front right... then it's everything I need to do.

Is there anything special about taking the hub off? Have a look at the pic, just socket on and rotate to undo? Or is there some kind of cap there that needs to come off first? I can't tell?

Dumb question - how does it remove? Pry the squashed bit up with a screw driver.... then what?

bring the two "split ends" together with screwdriver/pliers whatever (so it's straight again), then pull it out from the non split end

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t 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 when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
