From the front if u take the VW badge out it looks sorta like a alfa GTV :nowigetit

but yeah it looks sorta like a fast back too so could be a passat

didn't oz used to werk for audi service center? :)

neo I have finally sign up to vwvortex after so many yrs of lurking :):D Now I just gotta get the engine out of ur car ;)

how did u know that :Paranoid:

I use to work for austral VW/MG/Rover & we did ge the odd audi in lol :elaugh:

got to love the RV5boars fly by wire system try to throw em through a corner & start to lose grip & the car stops accelerating even when ur foot is flat to the floor :) mad little cars I would have one just would not like to pay for the soervicing when I waas there it was around $96 a hour in labour fees :D

I got charged an arm and leg when my pos golf got serviced once at austral :D (yeah i know shouldnt goto dealer service centurd :D )

neo I want to know whats the fastest 1/4m time any golf in qld or australia has ever done with any vw engines? I'v only seen rice mk4 1.8t thats slow as(couldnt spool the bigger turbo), and all these bone stock "still under factory warranty" golf r32, no real fast vr6 either.. :rolleyes:

I remember one little GTi golf we had in it was black with BIG & I MEAN BIG chromes under it 19" had a 3"inch zorst with custom exhust manifold & I think it was a bigish turbo 2 fifteens squashed into the trunk & riced up to the max lol was a sweet little car & went well too was funny trying to get it under way with light throttle :P

I think it would of been about mid 80s model the older ones with the twin round head lamps on the front

in Aus theres not many fast golfs, the fastest i heard of was the MTM Golf from sydney (TCCA Motorsport > http://www.tccamotorsport.com.au/ )... (its power figures wernt that amazing, but for a golf, they are pretty good)

links to articles about it here:

VW Golf GTI - The Golf (England) Apr 2001

VW Golf GTI - Hot 4s Jan 2000

VW Golf GTI - Street Heat Nov 1999

these articles are pretty old now so i dont know whats the fastest golf in aus any more!

my plans involve...

APR Chip

K04 Turbo

Schrick cam

3" Turbo-Back exhaust system

Custom FMIC

Bigger brakes

Bilstein or H&R suspension

Bosch fuel pump

GFB Stealth FX bov

17" BBS wheels

Reiger body kit

black leather retrim

some other stuff too! it wouldent be as quick as a skyline, but meh, they are like go karts when you put suspension on these things! i love my standard recaros too :P hehe

and oz, it would have been a MKII GTI (with the smaller lights on the inside of the larger ones)

theres quite a few MKI/MKII golfs getting around! rare as hell but! i saw one a while back at willowbank (MKI) with a 12A in it... i think it was a 12A :confused:

anyway, it did a 13... i wish they were rwd :) the only thing i hate about my car!

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
