Me: "I just dropped my car at the shop"

Wife calls work secretary: "That asshole is modifying his car again, got any work  happening in Siberia?

Work: "Cool, pack your bags, you leave tomorrow"

This is my guess... enjoy your trip this week haha ?

LOL your work sounds fun!

8psi will make annoying noises if you don't run a BOV and metres of FMIC pipe work :) 

Might be a job for a coke can blocking plate gasket, Yo

I'm more looking forward to the first time the Mrs hears it, she is going to be well pissed off......her reaction should be pretty funny.

I will just explain that it needed the turbo to quiten down cold start.

That reaction should be pretty sweet as well.

God bless her, and may god have mercy on my soul.

When is it ready? I'll take you on with the Tiguan.

It just had both front wheel bearings removed, serviced and re-installed on a 1 year old car with 15k kms lol.

Surprised it didn't throw a CEL and disabled the car :P

Are you still going to tow that trailer up Macquarie Pass, wasn't that one of the rules?

When is it ready?, I'm hoping tomorrow, my boat (real boat/ship, not a R33) leaves on the 13th of this month, this means I will most likely be on a plane on Monday, that gives me the weekend to race a Tiguan towing a trailer up the pass, break the gearbox, and throw a rod, oh, and pack.

It looks like I'm going to have a busy weekend

We should all catch up for a cruise in our non-Skylines LOL

I'm spewing I'm going to miss the SAUNSW cruise up Macquarie Pass to Roberstson pie shop.

Although, I do head up there at least once a month for a drive topped with pies, apple turnovers with cream to be then washed down with icecream at Wollongong lighthouse after doing the Jamberoo run.

 

Mmmmmmm, pies cakes and icecream....

skids

WOW, what a difference

Dyno is saved file from pre-tune in March to 8 psi boost now, WOW

Car is as responsive as farrrrk, pulls hard, WOW

Most importantly is that cold start is not as loud, the turbo has done its main job at muffling the exhaust..........?

Shiny clamps is the only giveaway

I feel that alot, and I mean all, WRX and STI's cruise around chopping every 86 they see, for fun.

LOL, that has bit them on the arse today, the little 86 is pumping

Not that I went out hunting this morning or anything

I did get punished by a branch falling off a tree infront of me, no time to really do anything but cringe, a few more battle scars but nothing major.

My little 86 is perfect

No more mods needed

Well..........it could do with more .....tutututu

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Small turbo kit on a 86 is one of those "enjoy it/great little car" combos. Right up there with a little turbo MX5 at similar power. Sit back, relax, enjoy, and act smug when people who look cool on forums blow up all their money in broken engines.

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
