The Sa Wasteland

[Nightcrawler]

Yeah and it ended up in the creek .... saw it down at Mantas last week.

I hope this vehicle description is not right - if it is an original (and worth mega $$$) why would you rally it?

Negative on the Power FC, Andrew.

I don't understand.

Im fairly sure my #6 coilpacks is stuffed, hence why im changing coilpacks. Once the engine gets warm..after 10 minutes, it breaks into 5 cylinders, and make's WRX owners envious of my engine.

However, tonight, i did not have an issue at all..drove for about 40 minutes, except for this problem of it limiting itself to 4500rpm.

I'm going to have to assume it has something to do with the coilpacks, as the problem has just 'magically' disappeared, but this new problem has come about.

AFM wouldnt be knackered, it would be obvious there was earlier im the rev range i would think?

i dunno what coilpacks u need but i got around 6 here that are 2nd hand for the rb26 - i know a couple are buggered but u should be able to use one of them if theyre compatible with ur engine/ecu setup

If the redtop RB20 uses the same coilpacks as the silvertop RB20 it should be fine.

Was originally going to go with Yellow Jacket coilpacks, from their website $350 for all 6, a pretty nice price, whilst Splitfire were after $700.

Ended up talking to Decs at Garage 7 on Monday night about the problem im having, so he's going to whip up an "AU Folcon Coilpack Conversion' setup, so basically the 'hub' for my coilpack leads will instead of being on the Valley Cover, will be on the firewall.

He's done it for a few of his customers, and all have reported no problems.

Plus, even though i don't want to cheapen out on stuff with this car..i can get it cheaper then $350, plus i like supporting small business.

Thanks for your offers guys, hopefully i get it running properly by mid next week, then on to the tune, hoping like crazy for at least 180kw. Cmon redtop!

To me that's over-complicating a simple solution to a simple problem. I know others will disagree but if it were me I'd just get the Yellow Jackets, straight bolt in, no fuss, no extra looms going anywhere and doesn't look sus. Neat and simple

+1 neat and simple is what you want

Plus it doesn't draw attention from prying eyes (ie. the constabulary)

[skwiz]

I know what you are saying there Heslo and Jenkies, why complicate one small thing.

Kinda having that debate with myself at the moment.

Still undecided, and i havn't actually said "yep, lets do it". So im just mulling it over.

Car won't make any power levels needed to max out the coilpacks from Yellow Jacket anyway... hmm.

[jenkies]

^^ the force will point you in the right direction lol... ^^mulling it over?!?! never heard that espression but sounds like ur gonna chop a sesh and think about it?!? lol

[skwiz]

LOL, "mulling it over' is, an older term for 'thinking about it'. Fairly sure...

No sesh here mate!

[jenkies]

lol was mucking around.... but we do live in adelaide

on a completely other random note.. after unloading a 40 foot container of water features and unpacking, all day, 9 hours.. i can safely say if i dont get my baby back by friday im gonna convert to the crazy side..

[skwiz]

lol i follow ya!

Definatly know that feeling, 40ft containers of 3hp air conditioners in the middle of summer isn't good!

[Weezy]

imo, the AU coil pack 'setup' will look so messy and make your bay look cheap and sh!t.

[scandyflick]

its an r31. its already doomed for that.

[skwiz]

How did i know Dave would come through with an insult to 31's?

[D_Stirls]

Put the my spare engine back together as a standard engine tonight. Doesn't look as sexy but will be handy with defects.

BTW, there's a CA party in my garage ATM;

Where the f**k is Damo these days?! Haven't seen him on the boards in a while...

Woke up to a email this morning from my mate about importing a 34R v-specII.

Comes back with a white bnr34 mspec, 12000ks, grade 5a, saying he can have it landed in aus for roughly 45k

[craig R33]

how does the au coil set up look messy? and its cheaper than ''yellowjackets''

it would look neater if i had a vally cover, but i dont

[skwiz]

Exactly the idea i had in mind there Craig.
