First Car: Tina - the Cortina (so original, I know)

Next: Laser the Amazer (guess what she was!)

After that: the Falcadore (what can I say - a company car)

And then: Saabie (not Japanese my name, but definitely by nature- zoom zoom)

Arriving Friday: Paris (aka the Z who always takes her top off)

So why are all my cars chicks?

Holden Commodore L (1980??) - was called cursed ( it was nothing but trouble, lost of engine trouble, we got hit in it 5-6 times i think. it finnaly got written off while we were going to gosford.

mitsubishi colt (1985) - lol my dad used to call it his little mercedes.used to jerk while going into 2nd gear on cold mornings. I bought some Shell helix Plus (green bottle), it stoped the jerking.

ford falcon ea (1990) - i call it jelly ( seems so soft it feels like it has jelly suspension.i hate it )

R31 Nissan skyline (1989) - I call it "the red car" (its red :P ) i remember looking for a used car with my dad after the commodore. It was bright red like the r31 GTS2s up on the steel ramp things you can get from super cheap auto. We bought it and have had it for 8 yrs now.

When we first had it you could hardly hear the engine running, it performed better than any commodore or falcon that we tried at the time.

Now it runs on HOT all day,Every day. needs a service badly. I think the thermostate is all rusted up and stuck closed. I might flush the radiator on the weekend.. arrgg might aswell throw the thing out and get one from the reckers. there must be so much shit in the cooling system. i bet the water is like liquid bronze.

arghh.. enough of my rambling

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
