You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

So Ex demo car 7K saving + 1 month earlier v New car

How much do they go for 2nd hand? Aren't ex-demo's generally thrashed? Correct me if Im wrong.

Also make sure the 'new car' price is the driveaway price, and does not have other hidden charges.

Do you have alot of time off work during the x-mas period and thats why you want it before then?

Not entirely sure on full price but they are around 70 new. Yeh I duno about ex demos that's why I'm asking for advice :P but I guess your right they have probably been thrashed.

No time off work until jan but yeh I just want one :P I think I'll just talk to a few dealers see what they say see if I can find a honest salesman if they exist

you put a brake line clamp on the soft line near the caliper to stop air get in/oil getting out, less of the system will need rebleeding when you reattach the calipers.

haha yes I am winnar.. all you Westies/Northsiders = FAIL

Im using 10W40 Motul Turbolight in both cars atm and I think its burning off like a mutha :< GRR

as soon as I figure out htf to get the oil filter off the S15 (kjghgfhjgff!!).. I'm gonna change it.. again :<

I think the 8100 used to be better but then thats 0W40! Have been told at Nats that Turbolight is like water..

Agreed, Turbolight 10W40 was like water. Used to disappear on my SR20DET and RB25DET, both of which were healthy engines (the SR reasonably stressed and the RB babied but getting on in km's.) Wouldn't ever use it again. Both my SR and RB loved Penrite Semi Synthetic 15W60, both ran quieter, smoother, idled better, temps and pressures remained better. And you would drain basically what you put into it, no dissapearing acts here. I'd definitely use it again on a highly stressed or slightly older engine. Tried running the Cube on it, engines too young and tolerances are too good so it was far too heavy and consequently made the engine noisy and sluggish. It would also have trouble starting on a cold morning, splutter and carry on like a bitch. Switched to Penrite Synthetic 5W60 and it runs like a dream. Quiet, revs better, starts instantly.

Amazing how much a different oil effects the way a car runs. No harm in trying a different oil for a short period to see what works for you.

Yeah talk to the dealers but don't get sucked in on the day. Some of the car dealers are pretty full on...

Tony, you an accountant? need some tax/claiming shit advice

Not just any Accountant, the best. Your welcome to come into my boardroom office, and we can sit around drinking bourbon liek a baws.

With Turbolight - if I ever left as long as 5,000km and didn't top it up between changes (think I only did that once) I lost nearly 2L. Considering that's more than half the SR's capacity that's terrible. And it never noticeably burnt it so yeah...needless to say I started checking the oil more and eventually decided the oil just didn't suit my car. My ex's SR S15 was exactly the same, though his seemed to disappear even quicker.

With Penrite you'd nearly drain as much as you put in.

As I mentioned my RB lost Turbolight as well (although not quite as much), but again, not suited to that engine. Tappets were very noisy running Turbolight.

Too many bad experiences with Turbolight in my corner.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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.
