Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[k_d]

got a metal inlet/exhaust gasket kit, few speedflow fittings, oil pump and gasket ahead of the weekend. No fkn way im gonna be pulling this motor out again lol. On that topic, anyone got a black heater hose kit for 32 gtr laying round?

[Sinista32]

Will go downstrairs after my icecream and check - forgot when I got home

Nup - already got rid of them sorry. Think they were blue anyway...

[k_d]

All good man, Im really after the hoses under the plenum as i vaguely recall someone telling me they split in their old age...

Or maybe after watching your car piss coolant at the calendar cruise i realised that sucks and i'd rather not have to pull the motor again

^^^^ bahah

[Sinista32]

why you little ...

[D.I.Y. Mik]

split dump is fouling the wastegate for some reason.

dunno why... it worked fine for ages, now i cant grind enough out to make it work, ill grind through.

wtf happened? dunno.

Time to get a bellmouth dump, maybe all new system.

After 7 hours of trying to find why my engine is misfiring and failed....I changed a parker light globe. It was very satasifying to fix somethign at least !

7 hours and no luck...

you need a break, eat & drink for brain power, do some reading on the forums, and the solution/problem will become clearer.

We had the works !

Drinks and Rob (Not a Pulsar) on the phone giving us guidience, also Google was a bit of a mate on the night.

A lot of it was testings up the road so pulling in and out = sucked. But, some boys on SAU reckon they've got the fix. My Spark plugs may not be "gapped". So will check that and HOPEFULLY it'll stop misfiring.

Trying to figure out Overheating when sitting above 110kph..

Fresh coolant and clean, no luck..

New thermostat and more coolant. time to test again, fingers crossed.

Slight change in temps across radiator, so maybe some minor blockage there, look into a proper flush next, or just upgrade it as I want to do that anyway..

Modified and fitted turbo oil drain to block.

Fitted steering spacer.

Been meaning to do it for a while.

Are you painting them another colour?

I really wouldn't mind painting mine

[k_d]

got motor out, changed all the water hoses and inlet gaskets, removed the remainder of the wtin turbo water and vacume lines that arent used and tidied up the engine bay a bit. pretty productive, not as much as id hoped though

I was considering painting the centers Black but after the enormous sh!tfight I've had stripping them I might leave them as is.

I do like the result alot. You reckon I should paint Black or not?

Much better than the uneven goldish crud they had when purchased. (SAU Third or Fourth Handies)

I have painted some R32 GTS-t rims before and it was a heap of fun. Not bad result either.

Looks good. Painting those wheels black may be too unnoticeable. How much did all the stuff you need cost? Im convinced I must do this now.

Any ideas what colour wheels would suit maroon?

So far the paint stripping exercise has cost me less than $40. Paint stripper gel and wire brushes. I bought some brushes to use on a drill but they got little use. Hand job FTW!!!

The painting of the GTS-t rims was all done with cheap cans from Supercheap (except the primer) but if I do it again, I would use better paint like engine enamel as it should be tougher and longer lasting.

OT. I washed my car and drove it to "WHEELS" at the Racecourse. With the wind and dust, it is dirtier now than before I washed it!

Show pics of car with rims you want to paint for colour choice suggestions... Black, Gold or Bronze should be good with Maroon though.

finally!

i wanted it before the w/end so i could go to the show

well see if this one fits properly

Ooh... is that a Mild Steel Bellmouth?

When you've put it on, you wanna put my Stainless Bellmouth on for me?
