PF used to be good.. I am mates with Nick who started it originally and 3 of my mates where mods. However these days its a shadow of its former self.

Its good that some of you still visit PF.. however for alot of people its not worth the wait times on the server. (which last time I went over to PF where kinda long...)

Sprinter got your PM, and I hope we've sorted it all out.

Carlo, I know what you mean, while I don't know Nick personally. I have spoken to him a few times before he sold the place. Nick was dearly missed but he is now back more frequent which is good to see.

With any forum or change in management there are always some people who can't accept how the new management runs things, this is life even within the workplace. I'll bet if ever this places changes (Christian, now I'm not saying you will ever let this place go) some members will also dislike how the new owners like things run. You can choose to leave or learn to play with their rules or allow the new owner to settle in which is how PF has weathered this and Simon (rolin7) has now left it pretty much back to how it was run before. While we lost a few old members pretty much everyone is still there...and some have come back.

Server issues are all fixed up, since the hack we're upgrading and giving the place a whole new redo :)

Yeah hackers are getting worse now days .... i see it all the time at work, more and more people are getting bank accounts hacked and so i can't see why a forum would be safe. But why would you hack a forum anyway? There's no financial gain to be had - its just annoying.

PF isn't that bad IMHO. I had questions answered there that weren't answered on here and vice versa.

      Shifting questions

      Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...

      Never ending fuel pump drama

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      I remembered wrong, but was close though 1Kz setting because those Jaycar SSRs don't go any faster, 1x pump per SSR with flyback diodes & heatsinks. In saying that, the heatsinks are overkill. Just on an alloy plate is more than sufficient. You'll find without a flyback diode, your SSRs will heat up big time and also die prematurely.  I've been running the two same SSRs since the last motor, no issues, car does 2 hour straight drives in summer once in a while and gets punished on the track. Nothing melts, no hot messes, etc.

      rb25 Degreeing cams with hydraulic lifters?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hmm. You're probably best off working out what the lobe centreline or even the LSA is for the stock cams, with VCT OFF. That's bound to be out there somewhere. Then, work on the assumption that the Kelford centreline is probably the same, and wouldn't be more than a couple of degrees away, if it is different at all. I'm very surprised that you needed to adjust the exhaust cam by 5° to get it on spec. That screams there's another problem somewhere. Anything from the belt being 1 tooth off (how many degrees is one tooth worth?) to simple user/measurement error on the degree wheel. I say this because Kelford, like most quality cam manufacturers these days, does a pretty good job of actually making the cams to spec, not relying on patching it up afterwards like we had to do back in the 80s.

      Besides packing it, you can also fill your pump through the oil filter inlet port. After cranking for what felt like an eternity without pressure, i fed a tube in through there and filled it with oil. Cranked for a few seconds after that and had pressure.
