The Zero GTR guys are having a cruise tonight..

meeting at doncaster pancake parlour if you wanna go

Needa mention they're really bad at organising things. Haha.

Late, take few hours to decide where to go (Just texted them, still dunno where to go).

why does my car sound like a wrx at low rpms :mellow: went up the road thing's shaking badly...

spark plugs?

also noticed my cat's glowing... don't think that's happened before specially since i only had the car on for a couple of minutes

err help?

wants credit card details..

Done all that... for some reason now it won't start and the fuel pump relay is going spastic. Worked flawlessly up until now. I've checked all fuses and wiring, seems ok. Rage must be blinding me or something

Sounds like coilpacks or spark plug - a cylinder or two isn't firing. Unburnt fuel going through the hot headers or turbo(?) is what's making the cat glow.

If it does it at idle, you can diagnose by running engine with bonnet open and pulling/replacing each coilpack individually until you find the one that makes no difference to the engine sound. Then when you find the faulty cylinder, swap it's coil pack to another cylinder and see if the problem moves to the new cylinder. If it does, then coilpack. If it doesn't, then loom or spark plug in the original cylinder will most likely be it.

went to look at a shop in ashburton after work, somehow ended up in lillydale and then kangaroo ground. lol

could also be a blocked injector (which is what happened in the r32)

Will save a special spot for you in heaven.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
