Nope. Tyre run trip is in process of orgamisation.

Scouts can do a BBQ for the day but need to know what people wants to eat i.e. burgers, or snag in bread for costing per head.

The tyre shop can do a good discount but need to know what sizes and how many.

Also thinking of doing a bulk buy for a drift tyre ( not sure what that is exactly but assumed that you would need some cheapies to flog the carp out of ) and sizes for them ( assume 17" ? )

Car wash = out :D water restrictions.

what have i missed?

what have i missed?

Not much yet

Was thinking the tyre shop at crow's nest is keen to do a bulk buy of tyres. He said he can do a really good discount on them. He also suggested a "drift tyre special" cheap, cheap and nasty apparently. So the plan might be get some numbers together orgaminise a day meet up and go from brisbane up through somerset to crows nest. Put tyres on car Scouts can do a bbq lunch for the day they just need to know what we wants for foods and they tell us how much per head. Then go back to brisbane. They tyre guy said that he can offer a discount for fitting or if you just want the tyre then he can offer a discount on that.

Thoughts ?

Only thing is the tyres would have to be paid in advance as well as the fuds.

Why Scouts? Why not just take an esky and use one of the mountain bbqs? It'd have to be cheaper, and then we could take whatever we want to cook.

Just an idea. Help out the community so to speak.

:down:

Oh ok, charity thing... now I follow.

Let me know when you've sorted it out I guess and we'll see what happens. Any update on dambusters while we're on the topic of drives?

Haven't heard anything as yet. He was off sick for a while.

if i get rego ect in time i will bring her out for a run to icecream

Sickness you will have yours back just as I get my license back :down:

The pig went for its RWC today and it failed spectacularly.

- Seat needs mod plate (Just took it out)

- Zip ties on front guard (Got some proper mechanical fixings in there now)

- Indicators don't self cancel (Need a stock steering wheel to fix this I think)

- Windscreen Chip

- Steering rack boots (Got new ones)

- Tie Rod end RHS (Ordered 2 new ones should be here tomorrow)

- Front brake discs need replacing and rear brake discs need machining (Putting my S13 stuff in)

- Engine oil leak (I'm pretty sure this was just oil spilt when I serviced it)

- Engine has a misfire (Spark plug No. 2 died so that's fixed)

- Window tint bubbled and shit (All of this is taken off now)

- Rear shocks need replacing. (S13 stuff)

So hopefully will be sorted by next weekend :S

f**k thats a decent list! how many days till your license?

f**k thats a decent list! how many days till your license?

Yeah its pretty good. I get it back on the 12th so like 6 days now lol.

Got one corner of the S13 suspension in tonight so only 3 more to go lol. The windscreen n shit will get done during the week.

Anyone got a standard 31 steering wheel I can borrow?

Will they pass it with S13 gear all round? I'm not sure. You'll probably get away with rears as they look pretty much the same, fronts are way different though.

RE steering wheel: Does your boss kit have two pins sticking out the back of it? If so, wrap them with layers of heatshrink or tape, making them thicker, untill they work to cancel the indicators. I find a couple of layers of heatshrink works best

nice one! bet you cant wait to drive again!

Yeah dam straight lol.

Boss kit doesnt have the little pins so f**ked there. The S13 stuff should be ok. It bolts up to all the factory mounts n shit so hopefully won't have any problems. I don't want to buy new rotors for the 31 shit n then put the s13 gear in it's just a waste of money. We'll see how I go.

sorry mang i don't have a stocko wheel. your 32 one might fit though

What are you doing as far as tie rod ends go? With s13 gear the R31 tie rod end castle nut won't go on properly, i imagine that will fail RWC but you never know, depends how close they look I guess. GL :ninja:

Most shops are not specialists in 31's or 13's. SOooooooooooo Chances are you'll pass easily.

You boys hsould just get a mobile roady guy to do it for you. They care not for such discrepancies

Edited by SABBAi

Yeah that's my theory. I doubt this guy would notice a difference in the suspension. If it fails again I'll get a mobile guy out to do it lol.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
