Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

What happened to the job at Indooroopilly? Thought you were meant to be working on the renovations there.

Also, if you end up working on road projects I'm going to hold you personally responsible for every pothole I hit from now until eternity :P

We still have the job at Indro but looks like I'll be changing jobs. Got a job offer that is pretty much twice what I'm on now 14/5 roster with 2 days for flying.

Find any TIs?

+1

f**kin unlikely you'll ever be driving on these roads anyway

Easy enough to blame you any way

sweet news on the job offer!

so is that 14 on, 1 fly, 5 off, 1 fly?

Yeah that's pretty much how it goes. Director wants to have a meeting on Monday to discuss it but I'm pretty set on leaving. Will be putting in my resignation on Monday and then probably be starting out there in the 22nd of May or something like that. Need to hang around to get completion stuff sorted on this project.

Mmmmmmm...

no parts to work on the leopard and too raining to work on the skyline

lazy sunday it is

I've got 2500 words to write and so far all I've done is watched Top Gear and Jimmy Carr...

After fitting the exhaust my coilpack misfire (or so i assume) seems worse. (although it only happened on track...not after i left lakeside)

there are plenty of threads on coilpacks etc on the forums, but i thought id come ask you guys personally. ive done the tape and silicone thing about 40k ago, and has lasted well since then. but now its time to replace. so my question is......(drum roll)

are yellow jackets, or the red coilpacks any good? or should i just go for the splitfires for a whole lot more folding cash? i wanna stay with standard location and fitment for the sake of keeping it neat underneath with minimal hassle (yeah i'm a bit slack at times)

I'm running yellow jackets, no complaints so far!

Straight fit and they are working like a charm.

Might be worth checking your voltage at the coil packs though, as my missing was caused by voltage drop in the wiring, fixed by a relay.

In other news, morning mangs, f*ck mondays. Did manage to get some work done on the leopard (re-fitted coil packs and replaced fuel lines), and the sun came out so I could at least swap the tyres back on the wedge.

Now definitely need leopard parts for more progress :(

cheers man, i heard you saying something like that the other day about the voltage drop. i can fix pretty much anything mechanical...but am entirely useless when it comes to electrics. So i really wouldnt know where to start. could prob find the right wires, but as for testing...thats where i get lost.

yellow jackets might be the go, my old coils have done 40k with the tape job done and that lasted a while (might even have another look)

    • Thanks, I'll shim that plug and hopefully it fixes it.  Yes still factory turbo for now, still have the misfire it's not as bad but still noticeable 
    • I had someone check the CU, they said it was fine but it could be buggered  I was only running around 7-10 PSI on the dual stage controller, but my boost gauge is shit house and needs replacing so I'm not getting a true reading.  Then I ran from wastegate pressure as per Turbosmart but still have the same sort of issue 
    • Yeah this is a thing. I've had mine setup like this for a few years now, works fine. If I dredge my memory bank, I think I had to do this after I removed my factory dash.  So you've tried it on gate pressure, I'm assuming this is the factory turbo? Did you still have misfire issues with that setup?
    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)
