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

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
