oi guys, im really keen on joining but the 16th is my 1st exam and the week before i usually crammed for it too... so i dont think i can make it... + i dont have 500 dolars yet at least in this following week... heheh

however u guys said that we cant finish 10 cars in a day rite? why dont we held another session in mid august, after my hols, over in my house, i mean my house is not big but it can fit 4 cars in total in garage + driveway,we need some working lights though... and there and empty lawn just in front my house, so u can use the drive way and curbs to fit another 3 and proley 2 on the side of the streets... my place is parents free but have no barbeque and esky, but we can use my fridge.... but ive never serviced my car before, so im definately need a hand and btw, no tools either..

help us i really need my car serviced, 15thousand k late...:)

I found another place to get all the service parts i listed b4, including the other belts... so as a result i will be buying next friday now... also lemme know on that...

That'd be better, its all undercover as well in case it rains. Does it have a BBQ? If not I can bring mine. Mite not fit in the 33, but will in my Dad's Sante Fe with my tool box. You don't need any hoists, I dont have any at my house and that was fine! Just get some jacks and axle stands, should be all good.

Hey Guy, Just wondering how you went with your service? I'm attempting it on my 34 also and I have found leaky cam seals. Problem is I need to get the VVT actuator off. Do you know if the nut is reverse thread or not?

There is a notch on the Allen key head which sometimes means reverse thread, either way it's bloody tight. Like to know how you went?

Cheers

Mark

    • I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.
    • Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob
    • Transplanting the vvt from a 25neo into an rb26?
    • Well, I was going to say, "Is the wastegate set up so that it is not leaking?" That's actually a different thing to what you're asking about. In theory, if you have allowed the two halves of the manifold to commmunicate (more than the stock manifold does - which is at least a little bit) then the negative effect should be apparent in delayed spool, not in outrigth power. OK, maybe just maybe, a badly set up twin scroll wastegate "crosstalk" might kill the top end, although it's hard to see how. What is happening with the original wastegate in the turbo? is it sealed off properly. If it's left flapping in the breeze, it will f**k everything up. If it is still there, and can be returned to service, I'd be capping off the external (presuming the two halves can and will be isolated from each other after doing so) and have a go with just the stock wastegate. I have an internal wastegate in my highflowed rear housing. The bigger opening and flapper should be fine to >250 rwkW. So there's not exactly a pressing reason to have the external. Done right, an external will give better results. Done wrong, it might just be possible to have worse results. Report back!
