what did you use to re-seal. I may have done the same thing. What does it do? or just use more fuel? I wiped mine down not scrubbed it, so was it a hard sealent??

It seals the throttle body and stops it from being a vac leak.

My idle has been screwed ever since I did it haha.

It's just like a thick grease like substance, that's why I mistook it for blowbye.

In robs first pic the top boost line has been cut and clamped and the black wire has already been earthed. But I haven't seen it hit 6psi

Do you have an aftermarket boost gauge or only the stock one in the cluster?

Stock doesn't read in psi.

not sure with 33s but it should be 650 to 850. but it also depends with the temperature of the engine if it cold it will idle higher as the 02 sensor is still working on calculating the fuel mixture. If its warmed up to a certain temp then the rpm drops. or you have your AC on or heater. Or even a hetkik sub will drop your revs when pounding

theres also parallax error that could actually be a 900rpm but the way you took the pic make it look like just below 1000 lol

Intake Air temp sensor its one of the things my ECU needs if it gets too hot it reduces timing.

ohh its one of the things i did today tested out my tig skills from Tafe and still not too bad left a hole at the start

Yea. That was warm and the sub wasnt going hard enough to drop the volts. Also the timing belt wines really bad :/ don't know what that's about but I'm not liking it !

Oh ok. Thought it may have been something like that. Would be interesting to have a gauge/readout on that too.

Timing belt could need replacing or if it's a "Gates Racing" belt they are noisey. Mine was.

And Bryce that welding isn't to bad !! Here's my go at it haha

The outside is a lot better. Just filled in some gaps so it didn't leak

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
