There was a green skyline (nfi what it was, andrew might know lol) that had been pulled over on the Monaro a couple of mornings ago. It was one of those pearl cars where it looked green & then pink.

that kinda sounds like the chameleon R33 that is getting about.. it seems to show up at the nats every now and then as well...

think it's gunners based..

Spotted a black r33, near spitting image of my car driving along William Hovel Drive this morn (South bound) around 9:10am.

Also spotted my r33 still sitting at home depressing me cos it aint going. Sux most cos ALL the major work want and need done to the thing is done. Just is small aesthetic things (except for the leak of water in the boot).. Runs and drives perfectly, looks great, sterio is all sorted, alarm system is all adjusted bout right now also... But got the fuel pump issue pissing me off now (partially it not working, partially my lack of time to work on it and try to sort out what the hell is wrong so I can fix it...)

At least urs can move...

But yeh tis a sad issues also, both quite frustrating. I need more time to work on this and sort it out. And then hope all will be better soon....

Ahh, but today at lunch I removed the vac line to the actuator, and still couldn't make REAL boost....barely made it to 1 bar...if everything is working correctly, I should have shot through to overboost cut quicker than you can say wtf

I too am going to go insane with this shit lol

haha...well my cat already (and has been since I got the car back after work was done for this power) makes a horrid metal vs metal vibration sound, but I'm fairly sure that it's the heat shielding on the top....I may or may not remove the exhaust from the front pipe and go for a VERY short drive this arvo to see if it's all good without that one there, but I don't know if I cbf risking it lol....

It's a ceramic cat of some kind...only strange thing about it is that it managed to flow 294.4rwkw the other week :\

Well failing my cat-less test this arvo, it will be going into autotech next monday for pressurised smoke through the intake test to find any leaks...and if I haven't tried dropping the cat yet, they'll also chuck her on the dyno for a run with only the dump pipe.

If it's the cat, I don't give a shit lol. Just means I gotta drive it a bit softer for a while til i replace it like I've been meaning to :D

And after speaking to Stao (Hypergear), he's assured me how unlikely it is for anything to go wrong with the turbo to cause this, short of damaging the wheels themselves - which is amazingly unlikely too. helps for peace of mind, love that guy's customer service.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
