Hey all,

Heard wisperings that the cops have a black unmarked SS ute going around.

I can back this up now with fact, I saw it last night out the front of moose heads in civic. Its a stock standard looking SS with LED lights mounted in the front grill, side rear windows above each other, rear and on a silver light bar mounted in the back. lights are facing towards the rear so you wont see from front on.

thought it should be known.... didnt get a number plate though..... should have...

i was told by a customer the other day, the black ssv ute sometimes has p-plates on it. the coppers got a sanction thru the courts to display p-plates on (atleast) the black ute.

there's also a dark blue '05 lancer sedan with mags that's an undercover car

Aye dodgy bastards i see this all the time at night if the street looks relatively empty and there are red lights the cop car switches on its redblue lights then passes the red light and switches it off again.

I was on my way to belco this arvo, and I saw a couple of formals were on, so I had a look at all the cars and I noticed the Black SS cop ute doing the rounds. So anyway there was a old toyota crown with hydrolic suspension which he saw, and then he waited for ages and just as he was about to leave, the flashing blues come on and the crown got majorly defected.

I should mention that he was on 3 wheels doing a u turn, looked awesome though.

hehee, i know the guy too. it was the first formal that he went to. after he got the defect he just went home and jumped in his Chaser and went back. damn people with money :D

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
