its alright for you guys....what about us guys that are on the tools.....i would rather it be raining!

find yourself a better union, our site guys only have to work if its exactly 24 degrees... :huh: don't even mention rain!!!!

on a different note tho, spare a thought for us fools who have metal gear shifters, its like touching an iron every time you need to change gears!

Thank god it won't be 40, you're all insane..

How can any of you people live in Melbourne, be climatised to the cold and look forward to 40 deg heat? Anyway the weather channel isn't a good indicator until like the DAY before.. and even then.. where were those thunderstorms I was promised!

I don't mind a nice beach cruise on a nice day, if only there were *nice* beaches down here!!! Might have to move back to Syd :)

I'm so stealing that idea Munkeh. Pink socks it is.

yeah, leewah, i got golf on tomorrow too! Time to crank out those long drives in the heat :( Where ya playing?

Watch the coppers tho if you plan on some beach crusing. Undercover SILVER and DARK PURPLE, SS Commodores. The new models. Plus marked cars cruising as well. Lots of cops down this way on the nice hot, cruising days.

Bring on Sunday i say... there is a limit and 42 is waaay past that limit.

Watched the purple one chasing a bike on Beach Road a while back and then a very angry policeman pulling a bike that was behind me over further up the road as the first one had got away. Dont think they were even together. Then saw the silver one about 2 weeks ago having pulled a truck over in the morning rush near the Caltex on Beach Road.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
