OMG! How awesome was the food... I loved it!!!

And I do have to say a HUGE thankyou to Kat for helping me out. While I started organising this dinner, Kat did so much work for me behind the scenes, checking restaurant availability, booking it.

And a thanks to everyone who turned up, I know I had a good dinner!

Me -> cheers.gif <- Everyone else

I wanted to talk in the events section but it looks like someone's locking down the threads. I was reading fresh comments, then they all disappeared as I went to reply unsure.gif

It was a good meet everyone, and the track day on Saturday was also awesome, and I think I am severely addicted now. So many new faces, if I start shouting out names I'm sure I'll leave someone out. So I'll just thank Eric and Kat for repeatedly boosting my car!!!!

So get this guys: when I didn't take the turn off towards Sydney, and accidentally followed Kat we pulled over and then my car died again just as I was going to turn around pinch.gif Kat, AKA basically working for NRMA now, heads off the source some jumper leads. An Irishman pulls over and he starts looking over the engine bay. I ask him if he's got cables, but he doesn't. Now, the bracket for the negative terminal is totally stuffed, so I assumed this was the problem, or some electronics inside the car grounding out. This guy freaking wiggles the positive lead and the car jumps back to life! Full battery, ready to start. That little red box on the positive terminal (contains a fuse, I guess?) was loose. FML! I was sitting there for a long time trying to roll start the poor thing. All is well now! Thanks everyone for a great weekend.

/End of novel.

LOL, I've done that before - changed my battery in the car and still had issues, so me and my old man ran a second cable for the negative terminal, and the problem wasn't solved... Turned out the positive terminal was not getting enough contact. >_<:rolleyes:

Damn you and your hot Canadian female friends! :(

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
