Did anyone else but tats and myself see the little fiat bambino. Complete with half cage and a turbo strapped to the side of the little 2 cylinder engine?

Was the coolest car of the show for me

I took a couple of photos. I might post them up but I had a smear on the lens which wasn't apparent until I looked on the computer.

when I got home from Wheels on Sunday I heard water frying on the engine :(

Checked it out and it seemed to be comming from the back of the block where I couldn't see or get to.

I got REAL concerned...... you'd understand if you knew my history with this GTR.

Did some further checking on SAU to see what it could be. Opinions - a hose (sigh of relief)

It turns out one of my Turbo water lines that goes around the back had a pin prick of a hole but opend up under pressure.

and you cant get to it without taking the inlet manifold off and other stuff around that area.

1 x 4" hose $8

2 x hose clamps $7

Labour $330 - Ouch!

Peace of mind - PRICELESS!

yeah, both Andrew Mark stopped like champions!

Turned out that the positive battery cable past too close the extractors, melted the insulation and earthed it out.1 new battery and a relocate for the cable and I was running again. Interestingly, the first battery was still

hot to touch 1½ later…pinch.gif

I did.... I think I might have missed Zeb's Supra out, but took it from that end looking down when all the cars were still there. I'll upload it when I get home from work.

alright thanks heaps, i just completely had a brain fart and forgot.

    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
    • Foreshadowing was never so easy.
    • The ones in brackets are the first stages of tightening. I usually aim for the middle of the range. They give a range because it's actually not that critical to hit exactly the right bolt tension. Enough is enough, and too much is too much, and the range given is inside that range. Half of the bolts in the suspension are problematic for putting a torque wrench on anyway, so just get done up to mechanic tight  and spanner checked a week later.
