Hi Guys,

Hope that I have secured a bonnet for my car but my carry-all has fallen through. If I can lean on the gracious spirits of the Forum community to help out before I lash and hire a ute for the night it would be greatly appreciated. I will be picking it up on Tuesday night in the city and dropping it off in Cheltnham at the shop.

Please call if you can help out. Can shout you a McDonalds Sundae or whatever your gracious time is worth.

Thanks in advance

Bart

lol last time i picked up a bonnet i drove to the destination minus one...then fitted up new one and voila...job done...nb: this was over west side tho...and we all know how the west is!!!

I may be able to help you tonight if you still need ....( time depending )

I am in Port Melbourne......so can easily jump into the city and then shoot down to Cheltenham as I have to go to Mordy tonight anyway.

If you think it will fit in a Ute and can do it sometime between 5 & 7pm tonight let me know 0411 078 783 ( leave a message if no answer )

Thanks racin8 and mastadd.

No Thanks to you cheeky post jumpers :P

Have sorted a car from work. Anyone need something moved tonight. I am now a MAN-WITH-A-VAN. Already moving a BBQ from South to North then picking up my Hood I hope. Jenno call me please, otherwise all of this was for nothing.

Thanks again guys see you all soon when she has an engine in her.

I didn't realize your car wasnt running LOL...if i had a 32 id def help you out...sorry my whale wont fit the bonnet. However driving over this side minus a bonnet might attract a little attention from the popo. :)

Well all of that for nothing. Dude didn't ring me so waited all night for nothing...... Then had to return the Van....

Well at least I know where and how to get a van...

If anyone else needs a hand some time let me know....

Bart

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
