After performing some more Temporary Dunwood Mechanics on Jeremy's Rosie34, I installed my New OEM Coilpacks and sanded some paint off in the boot to make my Fuel Pumps Earth Stronger.

If your hubs are slightly out, which is often the case on an older car, your new rotors will be out of line too.

If this happens, get the rotors machined on the hub, mark it so if you ever take it off you can put it on the same way.

Now my rotors are matched to the hubs, as my hubs arent perfect, still quite good but not perfect.

Yes, sometimes you have to machine new rotors!

Made side panels for the radiator intake area.

Just made from corflute for a template, they seem to work ok, bottom is still open, thats next.

Top has the Greddy one on.

Finished installing rotors and got my car ready for dickson and the up coming cruises, fractured my arm and wrist on the bike afterwards so now have to wait 4 months to drive :angry:

Wow, that is seriously unfortunate :(

Had a go at repairing the $25 guards, but i think its a waste of time.

Theres a thin layer of fibreglass in there somewhere under the putty.

And the putty is all old and cracking. ill use them for testing the spraygun.

Bonnett was painted in something that looked like fake vinyl? Thick crap whatever it was.

Couldnt sand it, too soft and clogged the paper, so paint stripper carefully used and washed off.

Then sand sand sand. Getting there. The primer underneath is nice and hard.

Bits for wheels and deep dish for correct position when the race seat is in.

No fake centrecaps to be found, so i had to fork out for the real ones. >_<

No rear tyres yet, i have to wait. So sunday hillclimbs on the street wheels/tyres.

Now i have a guide to handling, i was thinking i should try a suspension tweak to try and get less drift.

This Sunday?

Dayum! I would come n watch again but Pie Cruise. :(

why do people ditch turbo timers these days. i realised they have been associated with the fag hectic factor but thats not what they were made for. I reckon they keep your turbo well specially if your in a rush.

If not for the DEFECT factor I would have left it for the odd occasion where it would be useful.

But even in a hurry I'm not going to be boosting all the way up the street into the driveway.

I don't think they were made for road cars, hectic factor just took them there.

besides, if I go for a track day or something I can easily reconnect it.

1. Illegal ! (no one in control of the running vehicle)

A vehicle sitting stationary with the engine running (Idle) get's warmer and stays warmer for longer. Although does cool your Turbo due to oil and water still circulating.

It's better 2 minutes out to drive pedestrian and let it cool down. Forced airflow continues where as when stationary ....

Like athletes - warm up and cool down. It will prolong the life of ALL your vehicles major organs.

Turbo timer is good as it circulates the oil and water to the Turbo if you seriously don't have time and drive it VERY HARD (Race conditions) right up to your destination and then shut it off immediately.

Turbo's start glowing between 350 to 500 degree's. If it's not glowing then your probably ok

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
