Sad to hear about the dog excrements in the ute. Should shoot three of their tyres yee haw.

Yeah, I live in an area once filled with bogans/housos. Their offspring still reside here, so you get an interesting lot.

Once I was crossing a road (in front of the Woolies carpark), using a  marked pedestrian crossing and this bogan chic (green station wagon Commo lol) reversed  down an one way street over the crossing then yelled at me for not looking.

Sigh, maybe one day I can afford to buy in a better area.

I'll give you notice where I buy my new house in just over a year, if you buy before that I hold no responsibility if you end up with a old Bogan who lives in your area

Love, The Bogan King

Let's waste money season.

Now with an additional 10AN fitting to loop back into the intake.

I managed to drill into the can and not dislodge any internal baffles, against what my fabricator said.

He did say I was brave, I then told him you should be more confident of your tack welds.

Anyhow, managed to slip a pipe into the 3rd baffle, theoretically this should avoid sucking up any liquid that gets spewed out by the stupid RB motor. The rest should spray onto the baffles and drop straight down into the sump drain.

Next is the turbo intake pipe, then send the lot back to the powder coaters to make me even poorer this month.

All this because I own a RB, meanwhile a 700kW 2JZ will have a $50 eBay catch can and it will be dry.

Not working today, both kids are asleep, no calls from work, why not work on the shit box.

As we all know, non of the modern standard head units fit nicely in these shit boxes. In the past with my previous head unit and previous shit box JDMs I used foam seal tape OR use those door brush seals. Thought I'll try something different this time round, and bought a $13 fascia off eBay (bought it like 6 months ago). 

With no real way to attach the stupid thing, I decided to hot glue the cnut on.

Needed to trim the top, but overall looks better than before.

Might need to trim a tiny bit off the top, but that's a job for another year lol.

That means it's a level of love beyond the normal levels of care for an object.  It's your primal urge to maintain and care for it and nurture it back to health like a wounded dog. 

I wonder at what point it became a primal urge for a bloke to start tending to the lawns around his cave/humpy?  They would have all laughed at the first Neanderthal as he sharpened up a stick purely for the purposes of tending to his patch of dirt!  Next minute everyone has a garden shed full of sharp sticks.  I digress.....  you love that bloody car!!  🤣

I have been meaning to do something about this too! Nice work!

I used foam tape in the past, I think I prefer this look more

Used the shit box, took my son along for a ride. Loves a bit of dose lol.

Calls it a jet engine.

Okay, won't drive it for a while after this.

Well that didn't last long, ended up taking it out again today.

Tiguan decided to run out of fuel on our driveway (slight decline), range showed 50km left lolol.

Useful shit box, kinda. At some stage, I'll get a custom slimline box made to go across the entire back trim, with a faux cover to cover up the surge tank lines.

Didn't win Powerball, can't buy a 911 GT3 RS.

Time to improve the shit box, so as we all know when you slap anything bigger than a stock pump, the OEM venturi causes a massive restriction, especially trying to control pressure on the rail.

When running a surge tank, you wouldn't care too much, however even with a 200L/h lift pump, there was still about 0.5bar of fuel pressure in the surge with the main pumps off.

This meant that the venturi was holding back the return line too much, building pressure for no reason, thus causing undesirable current draw, heat, noise etc.

So yeah, wasted more money to optimise something that would usually be over looked.

I hate it, if someone came to me with a 2018+ F80 M3 Competition, straight swap I would take it and my wife won't complain because I didn't need to add in more money.

I've surfaced the idea of selling the shit box and adding money for a F80 M3, her words "get fked, you're not selling anything". She reckons I'll end up buying another 90s JDM shit box in the future.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
