Well the fuel obviously.

could have been the tanker left the servo 5 mins before you and stirred a bit of crap up.

Just get another batch of fuel in a few days and take it easy

Either that or your fuel pump has just about seen its last day :D

hi guys,

does mobil 8000 contain ethenol? if so i would be banking on that if you're running aftermarket management.

Take it easy if it is starting to ping. Don't rev the car or hit boost. You'll end up leaning the girl out and have a rebuild on your hands.

I put bad fuel into my car and she has been off the road for 2+ months now cause I didn't know any better.

:D

Use the correct fuel, and if you can't get there, just put enough in to get you to the right fuel.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      I don't run the spring but it means you need to set your own belt tension.  I put tensioners on both sides too.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
