Russ,

Blew a cooler pipe off and the resulting fireball out the exhaust set the rear bar on fire for a few secs. Nothing too serious and other than asthetics the car is all ok. Infact it's pretty good now - would like to have gone head to head with you down here but I see you guys aint on the list. I take it that means you can't make it?

There's a few regulars missing this time actually.

Up yours... :huh:

This car is absorbing my blood, sweat and tears. YellaGTRs blood, sweat and tears...its been a friggin huge effort and its almost come together. Its going to be damn close...but at the moment the final hurdle is going to be rego.

So waits and sees if i have any probs...but you two just go on sitting by the pool dinking Martinis mocking our efforts to get our car ready...did i mention blood, sweat and tears (...and plenty of abusive language!)...

LOL did i mention i have done several all nighters now and still had to go to work the next day...:P Im friggin try'n

again man if you need some help with anything give us a bell we owe you a few

You dont owe me anything. Im happy to been able to help you guys out when i could at the track. That said i may be pushing sh1t uphill this weekend so will wait and see if i need to lean on you guys!

Drove the car briefly, no miss under load, drove fine. A few exhaust leaks from rushed install of turbo, but spent most of the weekend ripping the manifold off, new gasket, studs, washers. Have new rotors, pds, diff, swayabars all to go on this week.

Fingers crossed rego goes to plan this afternoon then we are on our way with a car that shoudl look pretty neat, adn be running pretty well. My only concern is the gearbox...but new Syntrans will hopefully get us through the weekend.

HI-HO Silver!!!!

    • Anything above ~9.5V is acceptable. The higher the better, but it will almost always drop to at least 10.5V, if not lower, even with a new big battery and everything else being good. 9.76 is not a concern. If it goes below 9, you'd be sure that there's a problem with either the battery or the connections.
    • It's new almost. Under a year old i think and I've tested it twice at supercheap
    • Glue the head from a Pez dispenser on it. Goofy, or Winnie the Pooh, so something.
    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
