Finally I found the ultimate home garage installation to plagiarise.

My greatest problem in the garage is organisation and having work areas at a good height to not wreck my back further, and since my home in Melbourne is up for sale later this month I cbf wasting time and effort on setting up for great organisation and cleanliness. What I am working toward is the place I intend to build in Brisbane in a few years, with a view toward moonlighting doing some very exclusive performance work to subsidise my ultimate garage and motorsport goals. Perhaps this is a little beyond my immediate ability to achieve but the general layout is great, and shows just what can be done from home.

Still with me? Wanna see the place? OK here it is. clicky

Yes I saw the other thread some months ago, but having worked in a large brand new Qld Toyota service centre many years ago, and inspected a number of Army aviation maintenance facilities, this not only compares favourably but wins hands down.

heheh yeah it sucks having to park your car in the engine building room all the time, right?

Raceworx are actually building our ultimate garage shortly on the country estate, we just can't keep working how things are now :D

Sure Kel :D, maybe there is a few bucks to be made in creating these exhorbitant big kids play houses. I reckon 5-40 acres within 25-40km of the centre of Brisvegas, up to the north of town should be perfect. Could maybe buy 5 of those for the price of a 2 beddie in Syddley :)

Now just have to get Lakeside reopened so I got somewhere decent to race....goddam paperclip.

Saw the late post Duncan, hope it measures up, otherwise you might have to come to Qld to visit the better half...Actually, can she swing a spanner and sweep?? :) Let me know how the racing went wont you?

hahah yeah Kel can turn a spanner with the best of them.....she sucks at carrying rb26 blocks around tho :D

The racing today.....not so great.....lets just say a consistently unreliable supplier of nolathene bushes in sydney came thru again, with very poorly matched springs and shocks....car was driving a bit like a boat :) Ran OK tho so we are looking good for Targa next week.

Targa? Awesome, well better luck there then. If I'd been able to start leave earlier I'd come watch and maybe help out, but not until mid next month for about oh 14 months.

Get Kel on the creatin and weights then. Can't put her to work unless she can bench a ferrari V8 block......

BTW the ultimate garage must have an office space to enjoy the new PC Sim I got from GB. Unfortunately not available in Oz yet but clearly leaves GT4 for dead for sheer accuracy and fub with FF wheel and a high speed net connection for online racing leagues. Pic below

    • 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🙄
