If my life is for rent.and I don't learn to buy. Do I deserve nothing more than I get. For nothing I have is truly mine. (Dido)


The road I walk is paved in gold, to glorify my platinum soul. I am the closest thing to God, so worship me and never stop.


New engine

Def not running rich

Cams are mild

One of the injectors is ticking so most likely that's the culprit but I don't wanna upgrade to top feeds unless I'm sure.

Bit of a weird issue. Damn trouble shooting takes time. I pulled mine off the road for 2 months after I got it. Started misfiring and wouldn't start. New Fuel pump. Rewired immobiliser. Checked injectors. Replaced coil packs. Plugs. Cleaned throttle body and intake. Flushed intercooler. Cleaned acc valve. 2x different cat converters. New exhaust. Fixed split dump. Castor arm bushes and rack ends, new oil feed and return turbo. Box diff and eng oil. Chased and checked all wiring. Swaged and pressure tested all intercooler piping and re-welded Fitted catch can and washer bottle. New pc valve. Radiator and viscous coupling. Assuming immobiliser and coil packs were the problem. Did so much at once don't really know what was wrong. Got a bit of belt noise now when cold so hope it's not the timing belt. Has a whodowah whodowah noise at idle now like something is struggling.? Thinking maybe the vacuum lines aren't quite right. Would like to get one of you guys to sus it out. Vented to atmosphere before but catch can isn't pressurising the crankcase?

On recirculation before the turbo impeller.

A 29-year-old man has been arrested and charged with unlawful possession after police uncovered hundreds of avocados at his home in rural Australia.
The startling discovery was made on Thursday, when police searched a home in Renmark, South Australia.
Officers found a number of items suspected of having been stolen during break-ins throughout the Riverland region, including antique clocks, building insulation and a canoe.
But while the owners of those items have been identified, no-one has claimed the hundreds of avocados located at the same address

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
