I just finished putting my turbo back on and started my car to charge the battery. i noticed the car smelt very hot when i opened the bonnet the manifold was glowing red hot, could this be from not having a full exhaust? it's only running the dump pipe till monday. i really dont want my car to catch fire. any idea's

Its glowing glowing because you don't have the exhaust system fitted, and the heat from the flames cannot dissipate through the piping.

Whack a battery charger on till you get the zorst back on and you should see all return to normal.

Hey,

a) don't do that if you think it's going to catch fire and

b) sure it was _glowing_ red hot and not just smoking/smelling funny?

Most new pipework will come with oils on it and will smell funny/smoke till that's burnt off...

Regards,

Saliya

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily

      ER, HR bonnet question

      By RBjay34 · Posted

      Talked to another R34 GT-T owner, he said bonnet of his car once fell and slammed from full height because of strong wind at a car show and nothing was damaged or broken, so I guess I'm just overthinking some things but yeah, just making sure I'm not damaging the car anyhow cause wanna keep it for a long time.
