Haha thanks Buddy, was good to catch up finally ;)

Hopefully once your weapon is ready we can go run amok more often like old time :yes: just much louder and faster now :P

With the SAU NATIONALS fast approaching i have started this thread for any NSW guys keen to enter -

Very nice how much :P

You bugger off and enjoy your new found wasps :P Unless you want Daves nugget, i am sure he will swap with ya haha

Looks factory ;)

Haha stock!!!!

Ugh makes me wish mine was highmount! They just look wonderful dont they? lol.

Loving the black on white theme.

Yeah it was funny when we were asked to lift the bonnets... High moung, high mount, high mount, subie, subie, high mount lolz

So this was the old busted ass loom, most of the plastic clips were brittle az and useless! Wiring looked to be OK but who knows -

The only pain in the ass is that the little locating tabs are broken off in the cam cover and i think were powercoated in that way so the loom just hangs out and does its own thing -

I added those hektic D1 sock thingos while i was in the engine bay, the power steer one was the reason i purchased them as it keeps breathing nasties all over my airbox so hopefully the sock will absorb some of the mess, i will get a power steer cooler sorted before the SAU NATS.... The spare one just went on the BMC rezzy as it looks pretty haha -

    • 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.
