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 :)

Yeap well so far the only confirmed is you Nex ;) I will definatly be there 100% _if_ my car is back on the road by then, which looking good as I'll probably be dropping it at Gav's tommorrow, then depeding on how busy Gav is... but I so want to do this, just too many _ifs_ for me atm, sorry, but yeah you get that on these big jobs :)

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 :)

    • 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.
