darrinspencer Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Does it work? No, needs a rebuild. Anyone who buys a 20 year old rb26 and thinks it does not need a rebuild has rocks in their head. No point paying $2-4K for a engine that will blow in the near furture.

Daleo Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 (edited) a wagon to a ute? thats a pretty big difference. I wouldnt do it.It's kind of like, a guy dating a girl, they break up, n he becomes gay. She turned him. you dont wanna be like that do you? Why would you go from someone with a big ass booty, to .. umm.. nothing? Lol dude, most hilarious analogy EVER! I used to have a VR commodore ute when they were new, and it was the most collosal pain in the arse ever. Sold it, bought an R31 wagon thant I owned for 9 years, 3 writeoffs, 4 sets of rims and a full respray. And I bought a motorbike. Best decision I ever made; Met my Missus because of the bike, and kept her 'cos I had my povvo wagon (doesn't like showoffs), it possibly even was the inception of my little son, Evan. And of course, now own awesome black Stagea (which my missus thinks is cool) Moral of the story: Wagons get the chicks , utes get you going through a carwash at 2:00 in the morning after 5 pissed dickheads get in the tray at closing time at your local pub and refuse to get out unless you "take us home dude". Don't be that guy (or get a hard tonneau cover, like I did, the very next day) Edited November 23, 2010 by Daleo Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/342557-this-is-the-new-recipe-chat-thread/page/68/#findComment-5563320 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be that guy (or get a hard tonneau cover, like I did, the very next day) lol i've seen that happen with our audio VAN. we opened the van so we could unload speakers from a club we did sound at. we got back to the van and found two people already butt naked in the back of it.

GoldZilla Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Dale, I went to take a few snaps of those bell-shaped chillies yesterday, but my old man has already ground them into a past. I opened the jar to get a whiff - it smells damned potent!!!

Stinky Rooster Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 bell shaped eh? That narrows it down a fair bit actually. They are either going to be habanero's or scotch bonnets. There are a bazillion different varieties of each (and probably twice that many hybrid varieties) but both are usually in the upper end of the heat range. I would probably put my money on a habanero because the scotch bonnets are notoriously hard to grow for anyone other than a specialist, and most people cant handle the heat of them. - the bhut jolokia (also known as the Ghost Chilli, hottest chilli in the world) is a scotch bonnet...

dirtyRS4 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Hey peeps!Man, I has been busier than a one legged man in an arse kicking competition. Flat out at work, even busier at home prepping for the onslaught of festivities that befall us this time of year, as well as finishing off my new front garden and tending the buggery out of this years new chilli plants. Sure dale. I bet youve just been trolling in the wasteland. lol. Good to see you back here. So how is your garden of eden coming along? Those fancy chillis look like absolute priders, I have some trinidad scorpion seeds that I ordered from the US last year, along with . As you know, very fkn hot man.I was going to grow them over winter with the aid of a heated propagation tray. Now coming into summer, I think I might just stick them in a pot and give it a go. After travelling to Malaysia and Thailand I reckon I have tasted some of the hottest chillis know to man. I was tired of sayn, not too spicy please. Crazy sweats.

comieodor Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Today, after 2 months of waiting (the last week and a half waiting for DOT was unbearable) I finally got to pick my new baby up. Wow!! I'm in love. The leather is mint, sound system sounds fantastic (surprised as I'm fairly certain its all stock) and drives beautifully (my fears coil-overs would be spine shattering were unfounded it seems). (she's the white S2) My only complaint is the exhaust. It's mid-muffler back and drones something awful. Looks like I'm on the market for a decent replacement.

Commsman Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Installed digital TV tuner to Eclipse head unit Fixed missing wire on OBD2 connector so InfoMeter would work Swapped wires on auto shift lever so forward is change down and pull back is change up - now I don't have to look at the + & - to remind me, it all feels natural. Vacuum and shampoo for the carpets (Qld cruise tomorrow) Not bad for half a days work. Thanks to Jacob (my son) for helping his old man.

scotty nm35 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 mine has refused to start the past week. not sure whats wrong with it .. either starter or shift lock sensor. Sounds like you cooked the starter, doesn't take long to kill it. Could be your fuel pump, or possibly the immobiliser causing the original issue?

Duncan Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 almost killed mine. was running hard on the dyno being tuned when oil pressure light came on. investigation underneath shows hge leak from the sump. it appears the proengines 3l adapter plate expands at a different rate to the block, resulting in the sealer breaking and a major leak. motor out to fix the sump Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/342557-this-is-the-new-recipe-chat-thread/page/68/#findComment-5569823 Share on other sites More sharing options...
