Yeh that was probably one of the best runs yet...definitely the best way to spend a Sunday arvo before it all starts again on Monday!

Well I need to let the ol' 26 out for a run at least once a fortnight haha....can't have it all gumming up on me now with my 3 minute work trips =/

You'll have to get your rear end fixed for next time MeLar ;)

Awesome time boys. Loved every minute of it!

Great chat, great food - talk about cheap and cheerful.

Would love to go bowling or mini golf LOL

I suck terribly at both so would be great for me to come out and give you guys a few pointers :P

In other news, the rear end is the least of my problems. The car was overheating on the way home. Needed some lovely aircon and nekminnit the gauge started climbing slowly. Reached the 3/4 mark just below the big "H" as I drove into the garage...watched it like a hawk the whole way home I did too.

Sooooooooo.....next cruise, if the old girl's not up to the task, I'll be in the Caldina but will have to hitch a ride in one of the 'lines. Wife has banned me easing it down mountain passes ;)

Where's a good place to meet and cruise from? Plan on getting there around 10 I reckon.Definitely want to be there for the Miss Powerplay judging. :3some:

Haha well im heading down with a few mate, so i was going to meet up with the tbar boys around gatton... If they end up coming.

Well what a crazy few days weather wise. Was locked up inside all of Saturday and Sunday so just had to get out of the house today. I lost power twice over the weekend but I was/am lucky compared to Me_Larr and sonnyQ. Tommis85 what are you going to do now the seas have subsided? Captain Natro did you get the hatsu out from it's bogged location? The daily wouldn't start this morning, but have had the battery on charge and hopefully a bit of dry weather overnight and tomorrow to let the old girl dry out a bit and hopefully she will start

Power came back on late arvo today guys. Rain also stopped for now so I don't have to sleep with a mop and bucket/oil pan in my arms.

Thanks for dropping by, Chris. Good chat :)

Apart from my struggles, I've got some good news to share. Picked up the old girl now equipped with a big F**k O** Koyo rad and new thermostat.

Now all I need is a 40degree day + aircon + stop-start traffic/spirited driving to see if that done the trick.

Just need to fix the rear end alignment issues and I "should" fall in love with her again.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
