Yea been reading for awhile, just had little input, my F&F memory was failing me haha..

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/393468-volk-racing-te37sl-wheels-with-or-without-stickers/page__st__20

Check my post in there regarding wheel stickers.. getting pretty keen for gold ones! let me know what you guys think?

We will fix the F&F problem!! Lol

Checking link now

ah thats good then.

yeah cause rewireable fuses are illegal now, if you touch a circuit that has it you have to redo everything.

i mean i could probably do it but i wouldnt be happy about it lololol. plus it may hurt your pocket a little. idk, maybe 500-1000 with everything done by me, including your garage. but thats a fair guess

hmm... dunno ant,

i kinda see it as, are you doing black on yellow or yellow on black, adding yellow when your trying to put more black in could look a bit odd?

could be a bit over the top you know?

though if i saw it id probably like it so idk. see what others think i guess.

I hope there are no OH&S peeps in here :P we may fail to meet safety requirements

No OH&S at home

True story time

When dad and I were building a clubman we had it sitting on a table in the garage which was on wheels donated by woolworths or Coles and we could wheel it around the garage.

As the car was only sitting on wooden blocks on the table there was only 4 inches clearance between car and table but this night we needed to do something under the car so we wheel the table over to where the chain block is.

Now the chain block is attached to an RSJ that is in the roof of the garage and we used a seat belt between the hook and the car and winch up the rear of the car.

I grab a jack stand but dad says no need it's only a two minute job, he climbs under the car does the job and crawls out.

The very second he is clear of the car the seat belt breaks and the car comes crashing down onto the table.

We ALWAYS used jack stands after that so maybe OH&S should be applied with vigilance in a home garage

Yeah it's pretty old school here :P but that gives me something to work towards.... Cheers man!

Ant, not convinced on the red.... If the yellow/gold matched your car then it'd be good....

I won't go under a car without stands etc... Even doing my diff bushes before Texi, 10min job but put stands under, found the jack creeps so I was happy I thought about safety for a change!

I guess im looking at it as the wheels were meant to have these stickers onit, red really wont go with my car imo.. and the only other colour that rays makes the stickers in close to my car colour is gold.. they wont match the yellow exactly, they will be a little more subtly than bright yellow, and could break up the wheel nicely?.. they will match the brembo calipers in gold though too!

dunno what to do really ha..

a seat belt? lololololol

whats the SWL?? bahaha

At least 300kg

When I worked at a wreckers I would cut the seat belts out of the car and use them for slings to pull the motor and box out of the car

Never ever had one break before that night in the garage

I guess im looking at it as the wheels were meant to have these stickers onit, red really wont go with my car imo.. and the only other colour that rays makes the stickers in close to my car colour is gold.. they wont match the yellow exactly, they will be a little more subtly than bright yellow, and could break up the wheel nicely?.. they will match the brembo calipers in gold though too!

i think go with the yellow Anthony, (not the fluro ones on the new SL's) they will look the part.

I'm buying a set of knock off TE37's soon and putting the red ones on (buying a set of real SL's after my move - too many bad stories about rims disappearing during transport for my likeing to do it now)

yea ive got the red already which it came with.... i think i may have to buy the gold ones and just see.. i played around with the photo shop some more and even if i dull the gold right down, it still looks good imo..

i kind of had the same trouble when picking number plate colours, i went for black and gold, the gold doesnt match but ties in really well imo, so it may work the same way, as the yellow wont be spot on the same, and im not sure if it would look too bright if it did anyways?...

yea not keen on the fluro, just sounds abit gay really haha

Yah, Fluro is Gaids!!!

But you've made all the right choices so far with the car so I'm looking forward to seeing what you choose ;)

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
