Off topic, but +1 to Service SA messing people around. I got told a few weeks back on the phone from them "Yep, you can get your full license. Just come in and get it". So I went down there and the girl behind the counter said "Nope, you can't get it for another 4 weeks. The person on the phone was wrong".

Stupid! 0 customer service skills.

Yep, service SA suck! Was supposed to get my P's back about a month ago, now it'll be another 5 weeks or so.. BULLS**T!!! Had one lesson on my L's the other day (as you have to these days) and the dude said i need to have a few more lessons to 'break some habbits' i have, these habbits are the ones i learnt from the first driver i had before i got my P's 2 years ago.... Its alittle hard to break them seeing i've been doing it for 2 years.. Also why the hell do they need me to do the VORT test? I've had my p's, there for i know how to park, do u-turns and all that shite, so whats the point????? It pissed me off so much when the dude told me that, swear i was gunna hit him at one point, not his fault tho, just doing his job! But seriously why do i havta do all that stuff again, i was caught speeding thru a few red light spped cameras (within 20k's) and this is what i get for it, 8 months (or more if i done pass the VORT) with no licence = bullshit! Stupid system!!!! But yeah i guess... its my own fault... :laugh: dont lose ya licence when your on your P ones.. it sucks what ya havta go thru to get them back!

My rant lol

GTR Pump will fit BUT for the cost of an old S/H pump why not buy a new 040 or 044 and fit that intank.

I fitted my 044 intank, cost $20 for the lower machined nipple a hose clamp, some suitable rubber and a little efi hose.

new pump 040 is like $220 -,-"

ebay my friend. :laugh:

some jecs pump - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/JECS-BOSCH-FUEL-PUM...1QQcmdZViewItem

and then a heap of 044's for around $200 delivered.

Theres also the Walbro which is a damn good pump for up to ~250-260rwkw.

^^ yup, had walbro in my 33, 230 odd rwkw comfortably, stock injectors where @ 100% at times

ERRRRMMM WHY IS MY LAPTOP WRITING IN CAPS WHEN CAPS LOCK IS OFF?

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
