126 RCU Represent!

that was bray park hey?

i was at enoggrea barracks attached to 1JSU as our billet squadron...

i went on to join in 1999 as a reserve...

left in 2005 after work not being flexible towards being a reservist...

it was join full time or quit for me...

126, i did NCO's and senior NCO's courses with a few of your guys/ladies...

Kogler, Grieves, Barclay & Chin to name a few...

great times in the late 90's forged some great friendships, best times...

when are you taking delivery of the 35 Col/

still March

cant get a 2011 any sooner, we are at the front of the que at Moorooka Nissan for ours

so we should have one of the first 2011's in Queensland

Turbo changed... little bit of messing around to get her to start but finally got it sorted. It's weird though, doesn't seem to want to make boost easily.

Thanks for the help Dan. After that last hose went back on she started perfectly

That should be an awesome experience dude.

Obviously im yet to drive a 2011, but if its as good as everyone's saying over the older version than im happy I waited...

Wish it was a wee bit cheaper tho, back to baked beans and toast for me for a few years...

Yer Bray Park, Grieves was the boss when i joined. Good times, I joined in 1998, just shows how young i am ;)

1994 til 1999 for me, i still speak to Grieves these days...

We did our CUO's course together also, got photos on my facebook actually...

Good times, F88 syter 300m range, Bushmasters bashing over trees at 60kph like their twigs, ATA course...

loved the condensed milk tubes from the Rat packs... still addicted today...

cadet hey...

airforce cadet, even better... :whistling:

129RCU represent... :D

f**king army. I had an army cunt salute me once (flight sergeant, ffs, it looks the same as your staff sergeant). I tore him a new one. Wasn't even a nOOb, he was a JNCO.

At least you guys weren't as bad as the f**king navy...

Hahahahah I lol'd

That's what she said.

Good news, but somethings wrong. That turbo should spool faster than a 33 one.

Yeah that was my thought too. Would it be more intake-related you think?

Or could a leak anywhere in cooler piping slow the spooling down?

exhaust leak before the turbo?

wastegate sticking open?

boost control issue?

Very sure it's not an exhaust leak pre-turbo. Manifold is sweet, all studs and nuts are great, gasket was like-new and I used goo too. Can't hear anything like an obvious loud exhaust leak.

Wastegate..hmmm. I'll see what I can find out.

I'm thinking it's more likely to be intercooler piping loose. I've had a few pop off over the couple of years. Might just undo/redo all when I can be bothered and see if that helps

ok, six screws i cannot get out, to disassemble the sunroof

any final advice before i drill the fark out of them tomorrow afternoon?

currently soaking them in WD40, and will give them a tap tomorrow before I attempt to unscrew them.

if that fails, drilling the fark out of them.

You're tried a big breaker bar?

The other thing is to try and crack them by tightening a little bit.... and then loosening once it's been cracked.

depends what sort of screws and where they are, how big, etc.

If they are actual screws, not a lot you can do really other than drill them out, they are probably rusted in.

If they are bolts and have a socket head, you have a couple of options. Could try a breaker bar as ravi said, rattle gun, spanner + hammer, etc...

Sarp mangs. I had a good weekend. Did pretty much f**k all. Got home from work at 2:30ish and went out and bought COD Black Ops and GT5. After that I barely moved off the couch lol. :thumbsup:

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • 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.
