Now my car goes, i can enter. Entries close 8pm tomorrow.

So scrutineering starts at 730 am,

If its got a good mount, yeah. Thats what mines lacking. Duct tape wont pass.

Gus, it was $1890 fitted, with some, not all, new bearings and seals.

Fk i love these wheels!

:D

Man... Car looks Awesome! :woot: Amazing what Some wheels can do.

I take it that it is driving better now with wheels / diff etc?

Cam has a sucky cup and will likely stick to a clean panel but certainly sticks to the inside windscreen Very Well.

So what time are you getting there? 7:00 - 7:30? I can do that. (starting work at 5am lately so 7 is nothing)

ill be there at 730

but i have to enter first, ill make sure to tell you if i get in or not. :thumbsup:

Ive only just done the figure 8s as instructed to get oil through the clutches, it feels weird, i havent driven it for 2 weeks.

A few more drives and ill see how good it is, my technique is to work your way up to it gradually, and you wont stack.

Spent the day replacing the last few old, dried and cracked joiners for the turbo outlet and crossover pipe and replaced the low pressure power steering lines.

Half the day was spent driving around northside to a few transmission places to try and track down some 5/8 trans hose, ended up having to go out to enzed in fyshwick to get it. I think i have fixed more issues on my car since it's been off the road for the last few months than I have the whole 2 years I have owned it.

Wow... that diff is good!

Very hard to break traction now, the federal rsr help too.

Now i can use more power!

BUT it stinks of fuel, somewhere from the back, better fix it before it bursts into flames.

fuel tank is out, pretty easy to do

heaps of dust and crap all over it

Looks like the leaks are from the filler or the vent line or the filler overflow line.

anyway all hoses are being replaced and ill have a look at the filler tube gasket.

a fresh coat of tar underneath would be good too

If i turn up for scrutineering reeking of fuel, illl fail for sure.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
