Will do Martin!

You're in Yarraville if I remember correctly?

Why you party poop and no deca?

Tried a water bottle cap and it's just a bit small, milk cap seems too big. :-/

Newport so close enough.

no seat in car so no racing, parts just not coming in in time.

still coming up, just not driving anymore.

I might have a set of S-chasis rails in my garage...

Swear i've seen the original image on here before but this popped up on my newsfeed....dem photoshop skills.

Yeah that's my picture

Must like taking pics off my FB page. I think Steve runs the FB page, his a nice guy though

Bit of a gay photoshop to be honest

So driving to work this morning for the first time since working on the car all long weekend.... Of course, popped a cooler pipe.

Turbo -> Intercooler... the one underneath everything... had to remove the airbok etc etc etc and get dirty in my work clothes :(
Luckily I stand by carrying all my tools with me for a few days after any mods, just in case :)

Billowing black smoke and strugging to keep idle without revving, turned into a servo after stalling twice.

Happy Hump Day :| 30 minutes late to work on the week where I'm only working for 16 hours, and I need to take some time off on Thursday afternoon so I can get a taxi to go and pick it up from the retune before driving straight to Shepp so I can do Winton on Friday.

If only you went MAP sensor like all the cool kids. You could have driven to work with no boost like a boss.

On the plus side scotty... I hit a little bit of boost just fine the other afternoon... but as soon as rpm and boost went up... it all went to crap and I'm assuming it leaned out (didn't pop a hose, but it blew dark grey smoke and lost power for the 0.5 seconds it was happening)

Retune is booked for tomorrow, and it drives around fine off boost.

Your pipe certainly sounds different to stock when the BOV air enters it... when I let off the gas (from about 2psi) it does its normal shhhhh and then about half a second later (when the air gets back to the intake pipe?) it goes kerchewww. Can't wait to hear it at full song :)

Hopefully no dramas on the Dyno, since I'm leaving for Shepp Thursday evening :/

Ooooo also, New Koyorad and Nismo Thermostat and 1.3Bar Cap = 67c driving temp, 69c max temp over an hour of driving, comes up to temp fast, and stays there rock solid. But yeah, haven't boosted yet.

Also haven't gotten the temperatures high enough for the new Tomei oil cooler w/ thermostat to open up yet.

Who would stock an adaptor which would screw into a hole which is 18mm/1.5mm thread and be able to accept a smaller sensor... unsure of the actual size... about 12mm across perhaps? Will get exact measurements at lunch time. What kind of shops stock fitting like that?

SIMON, you should've replaced the clamps while it's all apart.

One of these days you'll break a clamp in middle of nowhere, like it did for me one time.

    • 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
