want to do a powersteering flush... or more was told i should, to do it i was told to remove a hose put it in a bucket and then have another hose sucking up the new fluid untill the fluid going into empty bucket looks clean, unsure which hoses to disconnect, so was searchinga round and looks like i should remove the return to the reservoir put that into a bucket, and block off the reservoir and top up the reservoir while turning the steering until it comes out clean

does that sound right? best way to do it?

Yeah that would be correct, leave the feed hose attached to reservoir and top it up as it goes down though, putting a hose in the bottle wont cause it to 'suck up'. You could just remove the return line and drain system completely but then you have to worry about getting rid of all the air when you fill it. Also make sure both wheels are off the ground.

i do but from what ive read i think its different from 32 to 33 but not 100% sure

also on a side note does anyone else have issues with the notifications from this thread? it shows me notification but its title is %4$s and goes to a 'bad' like page.... weird

Can anyone recommend someone in Hobart area willing to do a cashie for rust repair? Got a small area that's rusted through on rear guard lip. Want it done properly (welded) not just bogged up. Prefer someone that can come to me as car isn't really mobile at the moment.

bought a full set of bilstein shocks in sydney on my way down

put the rears in the other day, might put the fronts in today

also got some king springs with them but forgot to measure the lengths vs my old ones while they were out of the car

pretty stocked that all up it only cost me $200

Recently been thinkibg about getting another set of flares but not 100% sure so I had a crack at doing what the evo guys do and spaced the stock guards.

Im liking it apart from the gap next to the bonnet.

saw your photos on instagram, i like the first pic, maybe more than some aftermarket gaurds, in the second it looks similar to how some lift the rear of the bonnet, but i think thats the angle, i think the gap would look a bit weird, if you could get round that i think it would be awesome

Cut guards and add a piece? Keeps standard lines but looks fat.

My engine is back together. Should be int the car early next week.

My build thread has been moved to so of you want to see some of the latest updates click the link.

Looking good Damo!

Could someone with an RB25 AAC valve handy do me a favour and measure the O.D. of the larger of the two hose fittings that come off it (the one that returns to the hard pipe before the TB)?

I don't have mine handy and need to know it to make a new hard pipe, cheers :)

Bushy - I had quick look, it should be roughly 19mm. Crawf just a welded a straight piece of narrow pipe to the cooler piping just before the TB on ours and I just stretched a length of 3/4 inch heater hose over it and ran it up to the air input on the AAC valve and does the job alright! I have the original hose and bits and pieces at mine if you need anything to help too man?!

I thought I might liven this place up a bit with an update. My brother Tom and I have gone from an almost bare shell to this. Its taken almost a year and there's still a bit left to do but pretty happy with where we are at with it.

:cheers:

Looking awesome bushy. Any estimate as to when it will be at the track?

My one and only car is sitting under the mechanics house, but I'm back in Tassie in June and he's said it will be ready for then. If yours is done (and mine is finally finished) we should head out to baski ;)

Jay

Cheers fellas. Yeah I'm keen as for Baski, we'll be going there for a 'shakedown' as soon as its going. Main thing left to do is engine wiring but we're just going to pay someone to do that as we can't be f*#ked.

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
