Yes, I'm leaking :D

Thanks Mik. Helpful advice but it reminds me why I'd rather pay a pro haha

Yes, good idea, last time i did mine one was so seized up it needed replacing, and because its old that meant get out the oxy.

Are they trying to convert the copper lines to that new flexi pvc type?

In Canberra that is..

Builders and developers like to make money so they go cheaper.

Plumbers use what they like, Rehau or Pex etc pipe is very quick and easy to put in a new house.

Oxy costs a lot to use compared to squeezing on compression fittings.

And copper pipe costs more every year.

And dont worry that stuff is really good quality to pass Aus plumbing standards.

We have the top standard along with about 6 other countries. water is precious to us.

Im not worried about quality. I know they are great. Just wondering if all states trying to change it. I'm an electrician by trade but not domestic. My domestic mates lately have had earthing issues with the non copper lines though.

Wondering if other states having the same issues.

Yes you gotta put an earth in the ground now, ive seen them hammer in those copper coated rods.

Using the pipes for an earth is just a shortcut anyway isnt it?

I dunno sht about electics, cant even spell it.

Far out! That was full on.

So elecrical, it was zapping everything over here, there were even weird small lightning ive never seen before.

Was driving past the overpass from Aranda-Bruce when it got hit by 3 massive bolts, flash burn in my eyes for a minute.

However the rain did a job for me and pushed all the loose gravel down the driveway into the garage foundation box, so now i dont have to.

Hope everyone cars are intact, lots of trees down today.

Weird stuff happened to some of my electrical equipment.

For example my boost controller registered 150 kpa as the peak pressure, on a stock rb25 turbo? i dont think so... it still runs fine.

We had a couple lightning strikes right out front on the house.

^ True story ^

Heooge sound and light at the SAME time. Shook my house big time.

I hope some photo's show up of this storm on the net.

So much lightening !!!

AWESOME

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
