lol ryan,do we wanna know how you know how to do that :) lol

eddy, ryan pretty much knows everything about everything most times so more than likely he will be able to figure it out. Hopefully its something small.

haha lol, i had to bypass mine when my alarm shit itself :D

and thanks for the kind words :thumbsup:

Are you saying no electrics work?

An immobiliser may effect your central locking (but i wouldn't have thought so) but if you have no other electrics in the car I doubt its the immobiliser and certainly not the starter motor.

Can you get your alarm to activate? interior light or headlights to work? hazard warning lights? (an immobiliser shouldn't stop all of these from working and will indicate the problem is instead between the battery and the fuse box)

You said you checked out the battery - but it might be worth trying another one if you have one handy, or try a jump-start.

I would also be checking the battery terminals (you wouldn't be the first to have corrosion in the terminal cause a problem like this)

Not sure if the 32 has a fuse in the main battery line (some cars do) or a big spade fitting that has corroded (took me a while to find this problem on an old valiant once)

Yeah, none of the electronics work. None of the lights (interior, headlights, etc). I'll try the battery out of one of my parents cars today but it shouldn't be that as it's only a few weeks old and it's been working fine since I put it in.

OUCH!

quick question for people, anyone know what the legalities are on people parking directly opposite your driveway? I knudged into the neighbours car across the road this morning but they were parked directly opposite my driveway. As far as i was aware it was illegal to park opposite a driveway? So i wanna know if im entirely at fault or if he is partly to blame too?

Cheers.

i know ur not meant to park closer than 1.4 or 1.7 meters from a driveway (on the same side of the road)

far as i know common sense should prevail when u park your car across the road from a drivewya, sounds like your neighbor may be a few sandwiches short of a picnic

eddy, Performance Auto Electrical are also very good. Have done a couple of small jobs on my car. He comes into my work abit and does some jobs for us too.

So just went to try and speak to the people across the road about the accident, the have gone out so left it with the babysitter to tell them to come talk to me. Spoke to plice, they say there is no law against car parking there so looks like im up for a repair bill :S

    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.
