Morning Mangs,

Bridge @ Petrie closed again :(. Made it a hell of job to get to work.

Weekend was good. Sat morning went shopping for boots, gloves, work clothes, etc. Got a sweet bright orange shirt off the discount rack, and some second hand army boots :). Then went in and helped clean up sludge. Sun went and admired VQ35 powered R31 roar into life, then did the mowing etc. Mowing took ages and still didn't get it finished because the damn mower kept breaking :(. Then watched the cricket. OMFG won two matches in a row now!

morning ya'll

gotta drive to zillmere this morning

hopefully the traffic is not ridiculous

According to the news, CBD traffic is shit.

Nothing crazy over this side of town though

Hahaha no thanks

Anyone have ideas for how to make a pressure tester for my piping?

I'm thinking PVC end cap, drill small hole in side, insert bike tyre air screw part, seal around the edges and hook up to compressor.

Replace AFM with this item and listen for leaks in piping??

Will PVC withstand 10psi?

@Colin:

May have to wait a while to sort out that PC:

Apparantly they are aranging suppliers to have stock sent to their Eight Mile Plains and Sunshine Coast stores, so keep an eye on the stocks for whichever one of them is closest to you.

@Ravbat:

It'll be under vacume at idle, you can spray WD40 or something similar at places that might leak (joins in pipework, etc) and the idle should pick up momentarily when the WD40 blocks the air leak. It may also buble a bit.

How were you planning to listen to it while boosting? It won't build much boost in Neutral (no load). Ignore me...

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:

lol. GT5 = WIN!

Triffic is a little bit nutty today...

I was considering getting into the slop of it all, but we had trouble getting in. Nat went out around 4.30pm yesterday and had trouble getting anywhere near a place to help....

Nothing is too crazy over this side either :-)

Unless you want to get here from Petrie... :(

Pass.... ;-)

PVC will be fine with 10psi. I would suggest you get some 75mm piping and an endcap. Seal it with plumbers glue. It's not too expensive. Drill a hole in the end and tap it to suit a fitting that you can plug into that seals.

Keep in mind you should block off all rocker cover breathers, etc, as this gives the air an escape path from the piping. You may end up giving your engine an involuntary lease down.... haha

The engine's not gonna be on, just block off the throttle plate and replace AFM with tester, pump with air compressor/bike pump etc and listen for leaks.

Yeah, as above will block off throttle/intake so it doesn't even get to the motor.

Thanks for the info too man

Next question is how to block the throttle end of the piping??

Ah shit. I ordered everything from the Milton store so I'll call up the logan one today and see if they can get my order n shit.

Yeah we had to drive around for a while before we found somewhere that wasn't swamped with volunteers. Eventaully found a street in st lucia (not far from my old place) that seemed to just have the people that lived there and their friends/family, so we stopped and helped there.

Quiet weekend, tried to fall off the roof cleanig the gutters out. Gave up and started drinking instead. Does anyone have a blower/ vac I could borrow for a weekend?

Jez, I've got a blower/vac you can borrow. It has a few little puncture holes in the bag, but it still works ok.

McFly, what year Z32 ECU do you have? When do you want me to do the mods on it for you? You'll get the best results using a Z32 AFM also... They tend to run pig rich with R33 items.

I have two coming from Japland (one for me, one for the terrorist), but I don't have them yet. Both should be the 8-bit ones (for type 2 nistune board). Whenever they rock up and I confirm they are right (and confirm my consult wiring is all good etc), I'll order the nistune. Then I'll need you to mod it whenever you can fit it in with your busy schedule... :).

Yeah I have a Z32 AFM and plug on the way as well. Im also looking at possibly getting injectors, fuel pump, and coil packs so I only need to pay for a tune once... but we'll see.

Timeframe will probably mostly depend on how badly post is affected by all the floods...

YAY!!! nistune !!!!

GTS is coming apart today for the week, time for epic rust removal so i can put the carpet back into my car without it getting wet everytime i drive it in the rain or park it not undercover

Excellent. How long do you think until you'll have it? I can mod it to run your car without throwing codes etc. You'll be able to drive around with it, no probs. Once you get the nistune board, I can solder that up for you too.

Yay for non-wet-feet.

Cool cool :)

How long? Under normal circumstances I would say probably early next week, perhaps even late this week. But who knows how the postal routes have been affected? I still havent got my CONSULT cable, it may well be a flood casualty for all I know or it could be sitting at an aus post depot somewhere waiting for the trucks to be able to get through...

Back from not being flooded in. Yay.

Found this in my letter box.

I asked is the reason WHY they are unmarked because they will cause iradict driving due to heavy braking and possibly causing accidents in the tunnel.

Not that it really matters since no one uses the tunnel anyways.

Hey Jason,

Good to see you survived floodagaddon. I was worried you might be a floodzombie untill I saw you posting on faceparty.

I found an email from you in my hotmail yesterday, the one you sent before the floods with the epic rain forecast. I should have read it back then :P

Hooray for not being flooderized!

It's good to see that they actually took the time to reply to your letter.

I use the tunnels. It cuts 10mins off for me and work pays for my tolls, so why wouldn't I? It's easy enough to spot the cameras though.

    • Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet. 
    • This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.
    • If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.
    • Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
