Have seen that before.. Leaks under hard throttle only

I came in after a few different runs and let it idle, seen nothing. Turned it off and watched for a while, nothing. Backed out of the garage, nothing on the ground, it was a hard farker to find :/

From what was said there was no noticeable power gains with the addition of the larger dump pipe, said he took the exhaust off and there was some good gain. Very disappointing at this stage but as long as it is going hard to 7500-8000rpm without farting and I do not have to top up every day, all good :yes:

Good power to 7500.

So what if it doesnt make peak hp after this.

Get it back and drive it and make sure there are no more gremlins.

Enjoy the response because that is how it was setup.

Dont worry about dyno queen figures......... just drive the f#$kin thing.

haha, I know what you mean. This thing was still fun when it would only go to 6000rpm , all good.

I only know how I want it to feel, Dyno is a window to see how it gets to the 7500rpm :)

They said there was no noticeable gains on the dyno with the bigger dump and cat, but maybe the response has picked a little up with the extra size and not noticeable on the Dyno ?

I am sure the car will be OK, it s not in there interest to give it back to me stuffed again, shit happens but that would be stupid :/

If it is stuffed I will have another mechanic look at it !

Skids. Limiter bashing. You have to check the rev limiter.

Will do mate, I have just the private road to test it on, shake the limiter, not sure about the skids, this sucker holds the road tight on all 4 :)

If they have fixed the problems and all is good, even near good is good enough, I do not want to go to Sydney anymore for work on my car, I will find someone closer for any smaller type jobs.

I will never need another build, I am done with it and this car meets all my boyish needs, love the look, its history, goes quick in a straight line. great on the twisty shit and I love driving it , farking heaven :worship:

It has grip????? What is that like?

My R32 gets its drift on easy :)

Need a controller.

haha, I am the controller :)

Your 32 sounds like fun, years ago I would have been there with you.

But I like the feel of it holding the road and wondering when it will let go, thats enough excitement for me, to each his own.

Just a few hours to go before I get an idea if it is going any better, fingers X

Then just a couple of touch ups an in a few weeks, all done :)

Whoooops said that before :/

    • Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.       
    • Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.    
    • Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!
    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
