Poor 32. Lucky it broke down where we were. Otherwise I think we could have been in the shit :P

Thanks HEAPS to Melv for coming and rescuing us! :hugs:

And thanks HEAPS to Mick for following us home to make sure that we made it :(

hahahahahaha yeah melv had just a little prob finding us lol

Ah I Can See You Just Can't Get To You lmao :looney: round & round we go that place was a maze :spcartman

no probs erin any time :angel: I know any of the gys would do the same for me :grouphug:

just a quick update.. turns out to be loose wiring, so thats easy fix.. now just need to wait for ecu tuning. :P

oh and honda city is cool! bring on the city turbo I say! :D

hahahaha there is a soft top turbo up the coast for sale 85 modle for 6k :looney:

that would be cool but thats just a crazy price :bonk: little 1000 lt rocks :(

I know why my car is so fuely ... Well, even more fuely and gutless than normal :(

Alternator is shagged. 12v maximum during running, and 11.buggerall volts once you turn lights on.

If you just turn the lights on, the voltage drops from 12.buggerall to 10.something fairly quickly... Is that a battery problem? Or is the battery only partially charged cause the alternator isnt doing anything? Even with revs (2500-3000rpm) it wont charge the battery at all, just holds a constant 12.3'ish volts.

Piece of crap. I'm with will :P Gimme the little buzzbox back :D

Glad to hear it's only something small Will.  

I might ring Gav and ask him why he didn't answer my phone call at 11pm last night.

LoL, other than the sleep thing and all :(

Good to hear it was only a loose wire tho. I think, does that mean your not stripping it anymore? :P

if the alternator belt isn't slipping or overtightening, and measured idle voltage at alternator/battery not showing 13+ volts then alternator is gooooooonnnnnnneeeeeee. :(

dave you can still strip my ful sik subwoofa tape deck?! :(

hmm so does that mean next time I got pick up my pos 32 it'll sport a sohc head with a ded commie battery and sits on bricks? :D:( godamn bogans! :P

RB26ETT for Willis :D

Who needs to D(ouble overhead cams)?

Hmm... RB26 head on RB30 block....

Oh well, I'm sorta glad there is something fairly big wrong in a way... It makes a good excuse for the lousy performance and huge amounts of fuel smoke :D "Oh yeah mate, normally I got 800hp but damn alternator was shagged so I only had 100hp" :P

Now I'm not a mechanic... (Unlike some :S ) But I'm gunna disagree on this one...

Cause... The spark doesn't burn the fuel... The spark starts the fuel burning (I thought) and then the flame front ignites the rest of the charge...

So, tiny spark may not be perfect, but it will either ignite, or miss... Not just burn some of the fuel and spit the rest out...

Also, with low voltage, the injectors wouldn't be opening up as much anyway, so there would be less fuel than usual... (depending on ECU (the car does have EFI doesn't it Andrew :cheers:))

I'm guessing timing and / or fuel pressure and / or tune...

/awaits proof of my stupidity...

Now I'm not a mechanic... (Unlike some :S ) But I'm gunna disagree on this one...

Dunno the technical side of it, but with Brutis2, when the alternator died and started giving low voltage he would run REAL fuely.

Then as the voltage dropped lower, he would misfire. Finally, car died totally.

Either way, the alternator is shagged. 12.2v at big rpm in neutral with no lights etc on isnt right. And 11.7v with the lights on also isnt right :cheers:

firstly strutto...low voltage can do weird things to the way a computer runs.

secondly a injector doesnt need to have a full 14.4 volts to operate properly

thirdly poor spark and overfueling ......well the fuel just extinguiishes the flame....cause the.....well it just does , hence the misfiring and such.

fourthly i think andrew will find that if he turn all accessories off the car will run better(cause of the low volt deal)

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
