Hey all!

How was the long weekend for y’all?

We looked at the R34, went to Ikea, tidied the garage, went to the PRS, then caught up with my olds for their anniversary. Thrilling weekend ?

Morning peeps. I rolled the 33 out the garage into the sun and rain for the day. Changed a transmission on a vu ute in the garage. Took my dad to the airport. And snuggled the dogs. Sums up my weekend. Off to Melbourne this weekend for training.... oh the joys, best behavior time ?

More training on how to be a animal in a different city with like minded mechanics. Oops (technicians.) went to Dave's Friday night. the panel beaters done a sweet job on the mustang fastback rear quarter. Perfectly straight lines and blended the paint through the boot, front door and roof. It's a massive panel with a dead straight line and bull nose radius corner. 2 weeks. He sends them about 400,000 a year in work so, top job. Took my cymbals and double kick pedals over used his sons drum kit. We played music, listened to music, watched music and drunk bourbon till 5am (gold). It was my b/day Sunday so low key with the wife and boys, they made me a scotch fillet steak sandwich for breakfast and my wife bought me a meet and greet ticket for marky ramone (the drummer from the ramones) when he tours in November (gold). Went to Mandurah too see the olds Monday they have been away for 9 months so great to see them. (gold) kids bought me Guardians of the galaxy 1+2 on Bluray so we cranked the Yamaha's and Bose's up. Should be 4 on 3 off every week;-)

Is that tbe cause of ur charging issue?

Yes, indirectly. 
The Car was having trouble starting because it wasn't getting enough air into it due to the blocked intake, which was draining my battery because I was constantly trying to start it up.

So, on Friday Im going to charge the battery completely, and then see if it holds.  According to Mark from C-Red my Alternator is putting out enough voltage.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
