Don't have kids then default_smile.png

Show us your kids. First night back to Bmx racing for a month. Told the boy it's been a while take it easy. Cruised around for 2 laps, then hammered it out the start gate didn't clear the first jump binned it down the massive Hill. 20mins. Just got home from emergency. The boy is destined to own a skyline.

Shoey divided by 100. Did about 703 metres! His knee, hip and elbow had munga deep grazes and the wrist blew up instantly. Checked out all good in X-rays. Phew. Already pushing hard for a day off school tomorrow. Haha. Bad luck. I've been crawling around in and under a dual control rubbish truck called Dennis making 4"s/s intercooler tubing for 2 days. You will be going to school. Show us your dad. Awww

Used to race bmx, did a few cool down laps after an event with my best mate late at night. He clipped the top of a step-up and went head first into the following tabletop. I had to scream out for an ambulance as he was out cold. No damage done tho

Yeah mate. It's a pretty extreme sport as you obviously know. Heart was in my mouth for a few seconds. He dusted it off told everyone he was fine then got on the bike and dumped it again because the chain came off during the stack. He tried to finish the lap. I was fully proud of the boy. The track out at Westside has a pretty extreme start. Best track in w.a. I think.

But crack flossing. A full team of surgeons with pointy nose pliers.

DSC_0288.JPGCheck the tube out. (from the Dennis) Intercooler to manifold intake pipe on the charge air or boost side were 4" o/d. Because the intercooler outlet and the manifold were cast pipes the I/d of the cast pipe was approximately the same as the I/d of a 3 1/2 inch 16 guage tube. They have had problems with the 4" Ali tubes being worn through and cracking from the compressor lines of the Cummins engine wearing through and losing boost pressure and rattling. I left the tube running off the intercooler at 4" like a plenum then reduced it to 3 1/2 to clear the chassis rail and compressor tubes. Still had to press a flat in it for clearance at 3 1/2 inch o/d s/s. We had to lift the chasis from the leafs just to be able to manoeuvre the tube in with a porter power because the 2ton forklift couldn't lift it. Developed 3 tubes from 316 s/s, done the drawings and jigged it up. 2 days. Tighter than a nuns I'm there. Mental.DSC_0292.JPG

It'd bloody hurt coming off in Lycra


Yeah had a couple of offs now, both times mechanical failure not skill related, shit happens, first off was a big one, went over the bars as the wheel at the back came out of its lock. Last week had a front flat and didn't realise went round a corner and ate shit.

I hit a roo at 100ish, wasn't dressed appropriate and ate bitumen. Took me months to get over. Got gangrene weeks later. Riding in Lycra sounds scary to me

Keep telling yourself that grandad

Funny story for u guys. My wife was In the xr8 on gt. eastern hwy near the casino. She took off pretty quick from the lights as she does in the 6 speed manual. She heard a awesome sounding loud as v8 next to her looked over and was surprised to see it was another lady driving a new black senator. It pulled level with her then started gassing it on and off for a race. My wife will never bite back. Unbeknownst to her and my wife the police were right behind them. Woop, Woop, pulled the commodore over. Haha. My wife panicked and thought it was for her but the police waved her on:-)

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
