It's the Newcastle skyline owner's home away from home :-).

What's everyone up to over the christmas break? i'm heading back over on the 20th for a week.

Going down to VIC to spend the holidays with Carmen, followed by a long drive back :yes:

How long you back for?

Just a week, be spending most of my time at forster beaches :-)

Jelly

I'm painting the house inside and out as well as the garage/loft

And no pub this weekend unless ts at the bay

Taking the boat up Sat arvo and hitting the drink with friends and then taking boat out Sunday

Who's in?

FYI Jarrad and Martin

Just saw this on facebook so you could give hi octane a call if you wanted in.

"Anyone here with a R34 GTT in Sydney? Hi Octane Racing need to trial fit their new airbox. Anyone that wants to bring a car to 36 Mary Pde Rydalmere and let them fit one gets to keep it for free! I was just there, the offer is still good..."

Yeah I'm still keen!!! Details??

Were painting atm :)

I'll send you a text

Painting is fun, I love it when you spend alllll day doing it and the wife comes along does one brush stroke and says look how much I've done I painted the whole thing and BTW the little bit you did there I can see you missed a bit.

thanks for the heads up benji.

way to busy for that right now though

just spent 5 hours trying to finish wiring my tv in the bedroom for a wall mount, got to mounting the ariel fitting to the wall which would have made the job finished and dropped the bracket down into the wall. many many many many swears....

haha emma had a good crack with me on monday, solid 9 hour day we got in, and... we did 1 coat in the hallway.... though, there are 6 doorways and it was emmas first try.

Oh I feel your pain with dropping stuff

Awwwww poor Emma

We all have to start somewhere I suppose

was that depressed man haha...

i now have around 5 mins of work to finish it, but no parts.

yeah she was getting better, i think her problem was she wasnt putting enough paint on the wall to begin with, so when she went for her finish she had nothing to work with.

id like to claim im in full blown natural, even emma admitted i was heaps better then her haha. steady electrician hands :D

    • 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.
