To think I actually once had a mint green coupe with black interior and sold it to a mate in Tassie... now I'll just have to settle on being envious of Jason's.

Good score mate!

How's the coffee pot going Drew, did you ever take that kg I gave you out for a run?

Well I have argueably the mintest KHR30 in Ozland and a modified version on the way & therefore far to much money tied up in the marque to change direction now, but hold a soft spot for C210/211, coupes, so it's good to see that there are some of our younger generation trying to keep the marque alive & well.

I have a couple of kids that quite frankly, don't give a dam about my cars. They certainly don't share the same passion I do for them and I'm sure they would just flog them off to the first person offering cash dollars if they were given the chance, so I might just have to give them away before I go eh?

Cheers, D

To think I had a

Silver 4 door 240K Manual (3 years old)...rockers were rusty already

Metallic purple 2 door 240K Manual (5 years old)

Custard yellow/cream int 78 Skyline coupe Manual (6 months old)

Mint green/black int 79 sedan Manual (3 years old)..one of my favourite ever cars

Black 78 sedan Auto

Would give anything to have them back :-)

The coffee was delicious, but the business sold. The van ended up in Parkes NSW, and I'm working full time.

Cheers,

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
