Changed my Spark plugs, put NGK PFR6A-11 in it.

Old ones where Buggered! Might explain the misfires and Flames out the exhaust. :whistling:

Flames.....flames.....flames are AWESOME!

You are dumping air out of the system that has already been metered and had fuel added for, excess fuel in to hot exhaust = flames (especially when you give the throttle another stab and it gets hot gasses rushing up behind it).

Depends. Not on my original one it couldn't.... unless Iain has somehow managed it.

I think I may have stretched whatever is in there because my warm idle was just over 1100rpm (cold was around the 1600rpm mark)

ohh i didnt realise you sent me a faulty one back. awesome!

I presume you are joking.

You were going to take it apart while work with your mate to see if you could adjust the signal/response to hopefully get rid of the throttle restriction.

As such it "didn't matter" that it was causing a high idle as it was just going to be pulled apart anyway.

Hence why we swapped my TB with the V35 TB you had.

If you are joking mate, I have missed it (just had an "interesting conversation" with my boss :mad: )

pinch.gif How bad ?

Despite it being (in my opinion) a hard hit, the air bags didn't deploy, but it was a side swipe impact afterall. So I guess on that basis, it will be cheaper to repair now that I don't need replacement airbags.

Here are some pics ... warning, the following picture may offend.

The image doesn't show well, but the fender is concaved right in and the plastic shroud rubs the wheel.

If I haven't mentioned it already, was an old guy who pulled out of a side street into my lane. I really had nowhere to go and not enough braking distance. Tried to get around him, and almost made it, otherwise it would have been more front end damage and airbag deployment.

Shit Roo. I doubt he couldve damaged more panels if he tried! Probably fortunate the airbags didn't deploy. Main thing is you're okay :thumbsup:

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
