would be more sleeperere with a 2JZ and Samsonas 

Can you spot me, I'll buy you a beer.

Only lets not do 2J as I could never register it, a camed up LS on the other hand is achievable, costly though, but with you paying I'm not to fussed on the estimated $60+k it would cost.

Cheers

 

I'll keep an eye out for a brown paper bag full of cash dropped on my door step.

Boost gauge, fully shizzle dizzle, plus $20 3d printed guage holder thing from local guy.

Nothing flash, cheapest gauge I could find really, higher reading than what I really wanted, I tried to find a cheap 15 psi (boost is 8psi) but none were found in the 2 minutes I looked for one, meh.

Awaiting some "add a circuit's" from fleabay so I can get the light and dimmer working.

It doesn't look as bad in person, the camera makes it look all f**ked up, but it's not really that bad.

Turn the boost up to use more of the gauge. Problem solved

One solved, but...ue7t.jpg.3f897132a54298adba0700bc3346ab64.jpg

The rods on these things are make from plasticine apparently.

Pistons and rods are the obvious next big spend.

Then a gearbox solution, it's basically a S15 gearbox and they like to chew.

Not for a while though, I hope, knock on wood, fingers crossed etc. etc. etc.

I believe Yul is pointing at Toyota 86 engine and gearbox parts on the ground.

May buy some injectors

"Apparently" there is another 30 safe killerwasps available running 98 but I need injectors.

Hmmm, I may have found a Xmas present from me to the car.

I was thinking of upgrading the speakers for Xmas, meh, decisions decisions.......

I was in that situation and I upgraded the speakers.


Reason: Music on in car 100% of time spent in car. In traffic, parked at lights, cruising around, while car warming up, middle of thunderstorm.

Extra injector requirement is something like 0.01% of time spent in car.

Sad but true

But really, how much clearer can 92.9 ABC Classic radio be?

But then common sense rarely gets factored into my plans, or even cross my mind really, ....but when it does I try to just force it down with all of the other bad things, to fester and boil, until it expodes in a tyrade of utter self righteousness.

On the wrong car ?

Got the delete fitted yet?

Gonna block the bypass for some Sutututu?

Or 

Hektiks

Not a BOV ulleh

Yeah it's a turbo muffler delete for the Vag, isn't it???

I was just asking if your gonna play with other bibs and bobs.

Make the Tig all turbo noisy and obnoxious, like I like, yeah, you know what I like......

So is it fitted yet?

If so picks and thoughts......

Not yet, been bed bound after my op, then had to go back to hospital after my body rejected the antibiotics (too strong).

I lost another wheel nut a while ago, decided to get a new set, I already had 2 different styles

Went full consumer, Project Mu floating, made from Chromium-molybdenium steel, guaranteed extra 10hp at the wheel brace.

Did get an epic deal from the boys at Just Jap.

OCD go on ?

    • I know why it happened and I’m embarrassed to say but I was testing the polarity of one of the led bulb to see which side was positive with a 12v battery and that’s when it decided to fry hoping I didn’t damage anything else
    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
