Nah I drove down Greythorn rd, Doncaster rd, Easter fwy into city at 9:30am

You probably heard me though XD

Yeah passed the EPA stock catback got me 85dB and he tested it at 4200rpm I thought it was supposed to be 4800rpm??

Anyhow. I bought the kincrome stands I just need to acquire a good trolley jack now. I can't find much that compares to the Arcan jack in terms of price?

Yeah like I said I only got done last night and i'm free all thursday when do you want me to drop it off? Do you want to make a time or I can just leave it near your front door?

Its $170 or so from cusco with membership so its a very fair price

Im not sure if its the arcan jacks or something else costco sell but i have heard they fail pretty quickly, do a goodle search on them, alot of the cheaper aluminium jacks are rubbish, pretty sure you cant fix them if a seal blows, not sure what sorta waranty they have. With jacks you definently get what you pay for.

I was looking for a decent jack a little while ago, I just went to bursons and got a kingchrome jack for about $250, its not aluminium but unless you take it everywhere with you who cares.

This is it here, dont know why its so expensive from this seller though.

I have heard COSTCO has a good return policy if the Arcan jack fails but I havent heard of them going wrong. My initial reading which led to this jack was everyone praising them.

Havent heard them go wrong, man i want one i feel like my 2500kg super cheap auto one will break soon, plus its heavy as

Might just get a membership just for this jack

Standard system will feel different down low. Most aftermarket systems are more free flowing for top end power / on boost. I close my Varex and get similar effects when driving off boost.

Looks good, all you can do is give it a go.

Interesting how it weighs as much as it does though, I guess if it were to light it wouldn't be a good thing strength wise.

Yeah was well different to what I expected but I very much prefer my current exhaust in all situations after testing it a bit.

Yeah well if you do get one get one for me! or i'll come with you :P i'd get membership but it's too far away to make it worth it you know? I can't wait until the one in Ringwood opens.

I don't know man some of the jacks i've looked at "low profile" are 50kg - 55kg. 23kg seems light. I'm not sure weight phases me at all though tbh.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
