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.

Me no understandy?

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:

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
