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?

    • 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.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
