Any Sunday is good for me too,

the Umart car park is definitely big enough for more cars than that, especially on a Sunday, they are under cover too, and I will open the business just for us to bum around in and drink beer if need be.

Oh and I want blue calipers, to go with the inside of my car ;)

Green now that is an interesting idea, spose you are limited by what is available in high heat resistant paints.

Spectrix, plenty of taps available, and we might be up for a good old fashioned lan time permitting ;)

Well lets get some definite numbers and we will get it all organised so we aren't stuffing Spectrix around :)

Hmmm yeah but it'll probably still be at the mechanics, Gavin Woods to be precise, just confirmed that my replacement Mag is in and getting it towed there tommorrow morning, and Gav's is busy all this week, so they'll try to fit it in next week, so we'll see what happens ;) Even if it is still in there I might pop down and take a look see and have a nutter around so that next time I'll know exactly what is involved :)

Anyway I will keep you all informed of wether I'll be there or not as soon as I know what is happening with the vehicle :)

    • You beat me to it, I was going to say this -  And this -  Sounds like things are coming along pretty well and your learning heaps along the way. 
    • It's the same ABS unit from the old shell.  It was all just lifted and shifted.  I am looking at the BMW MK60 ABS unit as a budget upgrade, as I'm not keen on handing over 15k for a Bosch unit.  
    • Bear in mind RBs tend to be pretty terrible for fuel economy and it heavily depends on driving style. In my experience with a heavy-ass turbo Stagea the 10l/100km is really just ideal conditions highway driving. Start-stop in the city is killer and it ends up being 16-19l/100km easily. I keep track of it every time I get fuel and it is never pretty. There are a few topics in the forums where people share their fuel economy if you want to get some ideas of what it can be like. I don't think it is worth that much to compare though because it depends so much on the driving.
    • R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?
    • Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.
