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.

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.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
