owned the car just over 1 month,

cruise to my cousins for the tike's birthday with the misses,

pull up after basicaly not exceeding 3k rpm's, no harsh bashing, just simple cruise to penrith from blacktown.

basically pulled up and the idle is jumping from 650-1100 rpms, all over hte place, noticed casue had a cig durring customary wait period ( i just like to be careful) point being get back in, warm her up, its 1am, starts again all ovr hte place.

decide to get home, stalls getting out of hte drive, copping shit for my "new car" dieing on its ass.

then it stops and idles @ 900, stable, sit @ major intersection and after a while it starts again, so little down the road an pull into bp, check around with her idling, look for something new, leaks etc, something noticeable, hear a slight ticking inhte exhuast when i get down to check underneath for fluids or something out of sorts, (something telling me to stop go no furhter essentially), shut down, check for water froth, none, has plenty oil, noticed its running real hot, like over heating...like turbo is stil way hot like i was peaking it out.

decide must get home, babying it the entire way, no positive boost, get hoime, idle her for almost 5 minutes, shut down and sounds like i ran her hard and turned her of without idle, heat contracting sounds.

but no funky idle this time...

exhuast gasket ?

avc in the plenum neeed cleaning ?

underfueling causeing to much heat from my almost stock car?

assume all stock except the deep purple top injectors (stock fuel rail so id say side feed's), unknown size / type suspitions abound and the 2.5" cat back and unknown cat, stock bov, stock location etc

think my importer / dealer will honour the 3 month warranty for this ? planning on making that call anyway, damed thing was only there literally today to get an unrelated minor fualt fixed ( windscreen squirter pump )

i know its not his fualt..... but point is it was there today and i doubt he will accept this and fix it, f**king bullshit i say. guess il find out

ranting eh

f**k sake... love the damed thing,

      Import insurance in 2025

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.

      Import insurance in 2025

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
