Steve: General clean up. :)

Matt, Any normal person would've thought you were trying to put a rod through the side of the block and the amount of black smoke you were putting out would be enough to make Bob Brown piss blood for a week!

The black smoke was because I kept mashing the hard cut limiter... The puffs of it yeah?

I was hitting soft cut, which cuts every second cylinder till I back off, then if I reach a certain rev, it cuts all ignition... hence flames + black smoke... LOL

And yeah, that motor copped some abuse... Maybe why it now rattles... LOL

Yeah All day rev limiter+lack of bottom end oil pressure=RATTLES!!! cost 1 motor

Nah mate it's just the family of woodpeckers that moved in haha

who cares, 10points for effort, rb30's are still easy enough to get your hands on if you're happy running a stock one

Pics are up kids. :)

I'd rather spend 100 to 600 every 4 or so events, drive it as hard as possible, rather then 10 000 now, and being scared I'll break it. I'd curl up and die if I spent 10k then broke it with in 2 years

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
