Hey all

had a fun morning today

driving the ceff to get tuned- on the way back i hear a scraping sound on the highway back- thought it was a truck behind me and just kept cruisng

after the truck exited teh hwy a couple minutes later i realised its a bit closer to home than that :)

decided to pull over and find this beautyzaust.jpg

Seem the mofo shook it self loose on our lovely smooth sydney roads (ie parramate road sucks teh azz)

Had a good laugh trying to position back into place on the side of the road ;)

Just goes to show how fked our roads are (that is to say it had a full underbody check at the workshop)

hehehe It makes 129 db at 4grand -unfortunately- sounds like some sort of evil monster though- gotta love that tough deep SR sound -

Id love to bring her out for a meet/cruise whatever- if you guys are keen post up some ideas :) missed the last cruise coz of ahem engineering issues ;) but all good now

Lol it actually made less than that when i got it but somehow one of my silencers flew out during some *spirited* driving :) Its completely straight through up to the turbo -there is a cat on there but it came with a cat pipe for racing use also

Its all good though ;)

Anyone going to wakefield this weekend?

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
