Although this is Canadian it has a lot of relevant information

Petition to raise the speed limit - https://www.change.org/petitions/raise-the-limit-and-lower-the-toll

Excellent - How do we make our Government LISTEN !

They won't because............. REVENUE !!!

It's not about safety it's about money

but we all knew that anyways ...

I remember seeing an episode of Top Gear from the UK where they looked at the spots the goverment had declared as being dangerous and the locations of speed cameras. Not one camera in was located in any of these dangerous locations.

Yep..it is all about revenue.

I bet if you did a similar thing here in Oz and compared those locations declared as blackspots and speed camera locations I bet the result would be the same as in the UK.

So when I gear change or slow down I sometimes seem to get this "bang" from the exhaust. Healthy? Also, anyone know why this is happening?

Diff backlash is my guess. Do you notice it (not as much) when you throttle on/off in first or second gear, say when you're navigating a carpark?

If you're out and about in Belco area today, swing past my work again and I can confirm my above suspicion in a matter of seconds :)

I notice when slowing up - mainly in gear changes from 4th to 3rd or even 3rd to 2nd. It's a bit of a "Crackle Pop (Bang)". I imagine a HUGE ass flame is coming out the exhaust but I'm sure this is not the case.

I'm guessing it's more of what Duncan has said - unburnt fuel. Can this damage anything in the exhaust? I do like when it happens, however, I rather it not happen if it is damaging something.

p.s I'm still a noob when it comes to cars :(

Nah don't stress about it damaging the exhaust...worst case scenario is it f**ks with your cat converter or maybe muffler > excuse to buy a fully sick hectic cannon setup LOL

Offer still stands if you're free today - happy to go for a drive around the block to confirm whether it's just exhaust popping (as your last description suggests) or diff backlash :)

Cheers for the offer Princess - gotta head to my sister's after work. Maybe you'll have to come to a Friday night meet and check it !

If warm this friday might duck out.

Pop=normal for aftermarket exhaust

Bang= awesome!, but exhaust leak, too rich can be timing too

Excess backlash is completely different and you will feel the play, there can be a knock no bang lol wtf! Go on a street that is 60kph in fourth constant accelerator, light stab with throttle a little play/small knock is normal. Massive play and big knock is not good.

My 33 had a "big knock" from the diff...turns out the two vertical mounts at the front of the diff had completely f**ked bushes, so it was a combination of free play in the diff as well as the entire housing moving LOL

Haha lol :-) id be like, wtf is going on back there...

Well there was enough free play in the diff itself I just concluded that was the cause of the sound....then when I went to get the thing engineered, that was one of the faults I needed to fix up haha.

Straight to Bunnings > grabbed a tube of Sikaflex > loosened the bolts on the diff mount > filled the whole gap/bush space with the shit > left to set until the next afternoon > tightened up and passed by engineer LOL

+11ty - Unburnt fuel

you make this happen by your gear change style and throttle actions :D

you think you race car driver uh_huh

quickshifter - lulz

And is this gear change / throttle action that I do healthy?

It normally happens when I do a slow gear change from 3rd-2nd and light on the throttle (Coming up to a 90 degree turn).

I also have one more question ! (so busy at work today hahaha :D)

Okay well, my long term goals for car ownership was planned to go like this:

Long Term:

1. Buy a skyline (R33 GTST) - Keep this thing until it dies (sold it as it couldn't pass pits)

2. Purchase R34 GTT - Keep this as a daily, a stepping stone until I can purchase a R34 GTR (The Dream).

3. Do no mods to Rosie as I have no intention to keeping it (wasting money) - Get R34 GTR and mod the FUAK out of it.

4. Pending work perm and a personal family deal (Rob knows about this one), however, it looks as if purchasing a R34 GTR might be quite awhile down the track (longer than I anticipated - I knew it was going to be couple years but may turn into several).

SO ! What I was thinking, since a new purchase might be quite a few years away - why not mod a car that is meant to be moded, ROSIE !.

My question is - very briefly (Do not want to waste peoples time)

How much would bigger Turbz + supporting mods roughly cost? I figured around the $5,000 mark

ECU+Tune = $2,000

Turbz = $1,500 - $2,000?

Fuel pump - ?

Other - ?

Now, this is all hersay as I need to have a figure in the ball park to even consider modding Rosie but I have done a bit of reasearch and that's all I have come up with :(

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
