The song "theres a hole in my bucket" come to mind when i have pulled my car apart. Got the drivers side cleaned up and ready for metal to be cut out and new stuff welded in, passengers side is worse. This will take all week

is it an expensive exercise ?

Hahaha no thanks

Anyone have ideas for how to make a pressure tester for my piping?

I'm thinking PVC end cap, drill small hole in side, insert bike tyre air screw part, seal around the edges and hook up to compressor.

Replace AFM with this item and listen for leaks in piping??

Will PVC withstand 10psi?

It will work, i have one that I run off my compressor. Just be careful not to over boost it though.

Less likely with a pushbike pump thaan a compressor but meh!

Please note that A J Wyllie Bridge on Gympie Road, Petrie is currently closed to traffic in both directions. An alternative route is available via Youngs Crossing Road, Petrie.

Advice has been received from Main Roads that the lower bridge may be opened late this afternoon. This will carry one lane of traffic in each direction. They have also provided advice that the high (southbound) bridge will be closed for some weeks due to extensive damage.

Weeks! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Time to find an alternative route to work...

Hahahahaha sweet... Yeah haven't decided if I'll use compressor or bike pump yet.

How did you block off the throttle? I only want to pressurise from air intake -> intake plenum (but not including the plenum)

I didnt block off the throttle.I just fit my pipe at the air intake then pressurise the whole system. Just rotate your engine till you find the sopt that holds pressure and pump away willis.

Uhhh........ please explain this? :)

Drivers side is almost finished, welding in shorts and singlet is fun, except for when you get sparks and burn a couple little holes in your arm. Hopefully will have the passengers side started tomorrow so i can get the car running again before thursday night

So it seems that big thick sound proofing/ heatsheild mat that sits on the fire wall doesn't like to be welded or to be near welding. Just had a minor fire

Hey Noel, you wouldn't have any RB25 upgrade injectors you want to get rid of would ya?

i lost track earlier, what turbs did you end up going with?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
