Just had a real string of good luck.... Started on Friday night..... Went and saw 2F2F at innaloo. I decided to pass by scarborough on the way home.... Did the cruise through and as I had left there were two very lovely ladies in a white commie who wanted to have a play..... We actually played all the way from Scarborough to Mullaloo and back from Mullaloo back to Scarborough..... I pulled back into Scarborough and they pulled in along side me.... I must of chatted with them for about an hour or something like that.... Hehe one of them was a model :) Haha.... we had talked for about 30 minutes before we had realised that we all hadnt introduced ourselves..... it was a great night....

Saturday night.... Got roped into going to the Rollaboyz car cruise.... and as usual there were cops and crashes.... Another 7 cars smashed and off the road from this cruise..... We decided to leave the cruise before it ended and we cruised around going from place to place.... Took a drive through scarborough again ( hoping to bump into the ladies from Friday night again :) ) and as we were leaving the scarborough strip ( through the steep exit ) I put my foot down and got "abit" of wheelspin and such.... it just so happens that there was a cop pulling in at the same time.... I just went " Ohhh shit ".... we kept driving and sure enough got pulled over about 100m down the road.... The cop says to me " You took that corner abit hard don't ya think? " ... I said " Its a pretty steep road " ... He took my license away and took down my details then brought it back and handed it to me and gave me a warning for " Poor throttle control " .... I tell you I felt soo lucky this was a cool cop....

And Sunday I won my Superleague game of cricket....

It was like the dream weekend :P

traction? whats that? never heard of it..

speaking of that - i need new tyres asap.. any hints on where to go for some 17" x 255 and 17" x 235? want something relatively good - but cheap enough that i won't care if there's smoke pouring off them.. :P

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
