How does that work battery?

Is the WD40 just there for no reason or is part of the contraption?

Its a tyre pump connected to a fitting in a PVC pipe cap, WD40 just so happened to be the right size to plug the other end of the pipe lol

Can almost guarantee you will find a leak somewhere in your system if you hook one of these things up

I got the tire pump and I got the PVC cap.

Now all I need is this fitting that lets you connect the tire pump the the PVC pipe.

What kind of fitting did you use and where could I find it? I went to a bike shop and go an old tire but don't see how you could secure a tire fitting into the PVC

Cut a piece of bike tube out with the Schrader valve in the middle of it. Drill hole in the cap, same size as Schrader valve. Put bead of silicone around hole on inside surface of cap. Poke Schrader valve through from inside to outside, and squish rubber tube out over the siliclone. Wait 24 hours, then go for it.

I just made a hole and screwed the thing in.. was good upto 35psi, ideally you would use alridite or something

Just made mine today it turned out good.

Going to borrow a mates pump during the week.

The pump I got is a cigi lighter one but my lighter doesn't work haha.

Zebra I blocked off my exhaust and it has a tiny leak just before the cannon but I got exhaust putty to fix that

So how did it go Manuel?

Lol sorry gav! never replied

The pump thing never ended up working

Way to many hoses etc that let the air out

Ended up taking it to get a smoke test and they said the welding on my intercooler pipe is leaking slightly

When they said it they didnt seem to convinced they had found the problem.

You can get hose pinchers (dont know if that's the right name) from supercheap etc. They're a little clamp with rubber legs. Would be useful for the lines to the carbon canister mentioned above. Ie vac hoses

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
