126 RCU Represent!

that was bray park hey?

i was at enoggrea barracks attached to 1JSU as our billet squadron...

i went on to join in 1999 as a reserve...

left in 2005 after work not being flexible towards being a reservist...

it was join full time or quit for me...

126, i did NCO's and senior NCO's courses with a few of your guys/ladies...

Kogler, Grieves, Barclay & Chin to name a few...

great times in the late 90's forged some great friendships, best times...

when are you taking delivery of the 35 Col/

still March

cant get a 2011 any sooner, we are at the front of the que at Moorooka Nissan for ours

so we should have one of the first 2011's in Queensland

Turbo changed... little bit of messing around to get her to start but finally got it sorted. It's weird though, doesn't seem to want to make boost easily.

Thanks for the help Dan. After that last hose went back on she started perfectly

That should be an awesome experience dude.

Obviously im yet to drive a 2011, but if its as good as everyone's saying over the older version than im happy I waited...

Wish it was a wee bit cheaper tho, back to baked beans and toast for me for a few years...

Yer Bray Park, Grieves was the boss when i joined. Good times, I joined in 1998, just shows how young i am ;)

1994 til 1999 for me, i still speak to Grieves these days...

We did our CUO's course together also, got photos on my facebook actually...

Good times, F88 syter 300m range, Bushmasters bashing over trees at 60kph like their twigs, ATA course...

loved the condensed milk tubes from the Rat packs... still addicted today...

f**king army. I had an army cunt salute me once (flight sergeant, ffs, it looks the same as your staff sergeant). I tore him a new one. Wasn't even a nOOb, he was a JNCO.

At least you guys weren't as bad as the f**king navy...

Good news, but somethings wrong. That turbo should spool faster than a 33 one.

Yeah that was my thought too. Would it be more intake-related you think?

Or could a leak anywhere in cooler piping slow the spooling down?

exhaust leak before the turbo?

wastegate sticking open?

boost control issue?

Very sure it's not an exhaust leak pre-turbo. Manifold is sweet, all studs and nuts are great, gasket was like-new and I used goo too. Can't hear anything like an obvious loud exhaust leak.

Wastegate..hmmm. I'll see what I can find out.

I'm thinking it's more likely to be intercooler piping loose. I've had a few pop off over the couple of years. Might just undo/redo all when I can be bothered and see if that helps

ok, six screws i cannot get out, to disassemble the sunroof

any final advice before i drill the fark out of them tomorrow afternoon?

currently soaking them in WD40, and will give them a tap tomorrow before I attempt to unscrew them.

if that fails, drilling the fark out of them.

You're tried a big breaker bar?

The other thing is to try and crack them by tightening a little bit.... and then loosening once it's been cracked.

depends what sort of screws and where they are, how big, etc.

If they are actual screws, not a lot you can do really other than drill them out, they are probably rusted in.

If they are bolts and have a socket head, you have a couple of options. Could try a breaker bar as ravi said, rattle gun, spanner + hammer, etc...

Sarp mangs. I had a good weekend. Did pretty much f**k all. Got home from work at 2:30ish and went out and bought COD Black Ops and GT5. After that I barely moved off the couch lol. :thumbsup:

    • Ended up spending a WHOLE day yesterday cleaning and rearranging my shed.  Due to the aforementioned disorder, my shed is as cluttered and confused as my brain. Again, because of said disorder,  at any one time there are 5 projects on the go at once and because they're still on the go I don't put everything away so I can "get straight back to it" which rarely happens.. So anyway,  I bought a couple of cheap 2mx2m all steel "pallet racks" to put in my back shed.  The idea is to then take pretty much everything out of the main shed that isn't car related. Most of the garden and building stuff is now booted out to the back shed and onto to the shelves where they belong! There's still more rearranging and reallocating to do and it's still a bit busy in there but it's a massive improvement on how it was previously. I've discovered floor space I forgot I had...  For those that have fully dismantled a car before will understand just how much space it takes up!  Particularly panels, bumpers, engine/trans, etc.  I've got stuff hanging on every available wall to get it up off the floor!  This is not exciting content for a blog but has certainly made the shed feel like a more work ready space now!
    • Updating results from our ATR43SS-1 turbo in T3 .63, OEM bolt dump pattern. Not a big number but pretty sweet for a stock Rb20det. Car's managed to pull 220rwkws at 20psi, perfect boost control internally gated with EBC and excellent mid top end power band as they usually skydive after 5.5K. Usual bolt on supporting mods and inlet plenum and factory location exhaust manifold. Pump 98 fuel was used (Ron 93).     
    • Yeah, well, it's not as though anyone is ever going to buy one of those noisy f**kers and put it into a new installation when there are better pumps that are near silent for less money from Ti.
    • I'd suggest having the engine builder listen to it, especially if they assembled it, and minimise how much you run it in the meantime. It may have a serious issue like a big end bearing from the description and I assume the rebuild was not cheap
    • Quite right, typing without checking, it is an 023 which was effectively the replacement for 040 (not that I could find either of them on the Bosch motorsport AU site), and it has a mesh inlet at the bottom of the pump rather than a separate filter
