BEEN THERE ... DONE THAT... Add 30kg+ of gear on your shoulders, 1200 rounds, light machine gun, spare barrels and all the crap ..... and not just in this country...... most leaches in one river crossing to date is 16.

lol @ Steve, spoken like someone who HAS experienced the "fun", & then 1/2 saw the light. Nearly there mate, another uniform swap and you'll be laughin' :P

Like Steve I too have played the games in snake's sig' (thankfully not as often as what Steve has) it's 1 minute of fun..... followed by a wk of shite! 2mins / 2wks & so on...

Think of it as if you were playing paint ball for a wk straight.... with no sleep & feeling sick as a dog, covered in shite, sweaty, wet.... ahh huge fun... NOT.

Edit: and no where NEAR the amount Snake has, thankfully! 15+yrs and MANY o/seas visits, most of them in luxury compared to Snake. Not all though, I've had my share of "fun".

Eating out of tin cans for weeks, cant forget that one, then there is the joy of wearing one set of clothes for a few weeks or more. Washing with a damp cloth and if you do get sleep, being woken half way through for an hour or two to make sure the bad guys dont get you, or some dill treading on you cos he isnt looking where he is walking, being eaten by insects, hmm water proof toilet paper, having to burst blisters and fill them with iodine, I could go on for ever:):D all good fun, thank god I was in armoured though, at least we got to drive most places.

Yeah, you RAAFies do it tough, I bet they even made you stay in 4 star accomodation when you were in Hawaii once eh Matt? or was that the UK? :D:D definately the only way to go.

Why yes old chap once in a while we did have to slum it out in less than 5 star hotels, shocking I know! You'd think the least they could do if we we're having to put up with going to war is give us decent lodgings. I mean can you imagine only having one waiter per table!!!! I was shocked. Worse still was having to drink tap water, rather than our usual Evian. :D

HAhah, i dont think u guys have the slightest clue wat u r goin on about. ive played heaps of video games and can tell u being in the army is the most fun u can have on ur legs.

LOL at matts comments, poor bloke, did u have to go thru treatment for the harsh conditions u endured?

On an unrelated note, matt ur avatar pic is sik!

Ex armour hey steve ...... leopards? ....aslavs?.......Bradleys? Yes i will agree with you steve, the list of "fun" never ends... and just when you think its all good the brass find another way to dick you around or shaft you.

LOL at matts comments, poor bloke, did u have to go thru treatment for the harsh conditions u endured?

On an unrelated note, matt ur avatar pic is sik!

I tell ya' Dean, it took quite a few sessions with the therapist to get over the harsh conditions of low grade 4 star hotels. :rolleyes:

Thanks dude. Yeah the Fullboost guys/girls are to thank for the avatar piccy, was hoping for more than one shot from the Nat's, but I'm happy with the pic they did take :P

im sorry to say that my car wont be spotted in SA anymore. We did the drive to Sydney, all was well, not even one stonechip or speeding fine! I used 3M contact adhesive all over the front bar, and end of bonnet.

NSW members, sorry to say, but it really sucks to drive around here, so much bloody traffic, so inconvenient to cruise anywhere!!! I miss little adelaide already. If i dont end up using the fly much it will be coming back to adelaide for holiday use!

And damn its easy to get used to power. Already planning to highflow the 2530 and injectors are in the mail!!

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
