clean up the cut out part and practice on it?

they arent overly hard to set up, might as well practice on it, its only a 31, =P

yeah i've done a tiny bit of arc welding and i've got a tonne of rods (but no welder)

i don't think i could arc the 31 tho because the pannels must only be 1-1.5mm thick (rods are 2.5 so way too beefy)

anyone selling a cheap mig welder?

i belive you can hire MIGs at a pretty good rate.

like everything a cheap welder will give cheap results. a half decent one will do a good job with a bad operator.

dont get a gas less mig. may as well stick weld it.

Do like, the GT-C's will look mint ( if your still putting them on it )

Nothing really new on my car put on a new intake pipe ( stock one with a section cut out & filled with a piece of pipe ) as i found my old one had a rather large split on the underside

new pod ( +25kw :laugh:)

oil change & filter

just waiting till next week to register it and finish my pipes so i can have it all ready for time attack ( being a poser on the hill :sleep: )

just a quick question, would having the wires to my tps cut have anything to do with why my car wont idle till warm? drives fine while cold just wont idle, only way i can get it to idle is unplug the afm till its warm. (just realised the plug has been cut)

Or could it be my acc valve?

Has all the tubes from the tb missing also but ive read that wont affect it.

Will be cleaning the acc tomorrow to see if it helps.

Dose your idle controll valve have a hose going into the cooler pipe work pre-throttle body?

The TPS has 2 sets of wires, one is the throttle signal, and the other is the idle switch. Your idle switch is cut, so your car will idle like shit. Also is the TPS isn't adjusted properly, the idle switch will never activate.

For some reason i have a breather on the aac valve. Has a T piece with a breather and a hose that leads to a black plastic box :wacko:

Edit: managed to get my phone down there to take a pic, not the best but it shows what i mean about the breather & the black thing.

yep pretty simple. where that air filter is that line needs to be plumbed onto the turbo side of the throttle.

that would be sucking un metered air during cold start and idle. its a wonder it doesnt stall when you stop at lights.

that black box thing as you described is a heat activated air bypass valve. or cold start valve. its fully open when the car is cold and as the block warms up it closes off. it also has ignition power to it to help it close off. this is why under cold start imports rev heigh for the first few minutes then slowly go back to normal.

    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
    • That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
