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

[Manuel Kasko]

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.

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

Ah ok it's the stock gauge. On idle it's close to -5 and on boost iv seen like 4

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

I honestly thought it would read 0 on idle ?

[Got a Pulsar]

Nup. always less than zero on idle. Negative pressure = Vac. Positive pressure = Boost.

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

Thanks for clearing that up with me . Where does yours sit on idle ?

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

That's where mine sits on idle...

Is that normal ?

[Got a Pulsar]

I'll check tomorrow but I'm pretty sure that's where mine sits too.

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

What's that sensor in your J pipe Bryce?

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

Sick. Thought I had a leak somewhere ! So around the halfway mark is 7psi?

Honest thought on my skyline?

[B-rice]

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

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

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 !

[Got a Pulsar]

7psi = 362.003882 mmhg. so yeah... about that.

I like the car.

I'd have it.

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

Buy it! Mum dosnt like me having the turbo :'(

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.

Give her a drive.

then tell her to STFU!

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

It was just replaced by the guy before me. It's louder then the exhaust ! it's weird she hates me having a turbo but she love the turbo flutter

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

I kinda woke up to the sound of tyres spinning this morning pretty sure she likes it herself hahaha

[..::R33GTS-T::..]

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
