:( hoping it is just a leaky hose.

Either way Plenum out all hoses replaced.

Temp always under half way today. Leaks when turned off, not while on

No oil in water or water in oil (yet!!, touch wood)

Richard, I noticed today that your Exhaust and mine are the same (Blitz Nur Spec), but I have my silencer bung in.

All I need to do now is build a Fat GTR around it and I'll have your car. ;) minus the leak of course.

Fingers crossed she's all sweet (And I'm sure she will be!!).

Mine was on other side of the motor. I too had hoped it was just a fluid line or worst case a welsch plug but no such luck as confirmed when we got her on the hoist.

Do you have aftermarket temp gauge? Bear in mind by the time the factory one moves you're usually well f**ked and it's too late.

my zorst has no bung in the bung hole :D

and yeah - I was worried it would either go off the dial. Either upwards or downwards.

I'm Just relying on the factory one at the moment which as you know is either half or full or zero.

Kept one eye on it for any movement today. My PFC used to monitor water temp but haven't got the Haltech doing this.

Will have to get one in the triple gauge or hook a pc upto Haltech

Yeah - when stuff goes bad on a GTR it's normally really BAD

The may lose green fluid, but it doesnt lose turbos........

Yeah kinda pee'd on me a bit lol looked a familiar colour after drinking a few too many V's..... Warm too...

I just wanted it to be anything other than what it was... Coming out a crack on the side of the block.

Oh well. She's all sweet now! But I never want that feeling again.

Im going to set up an output on my haltech (maybe tomorrow if i can be bothered lol) that will display a bright red led when water temp gets over say 90. will also use this once i get an oil pressure and oil temp senders for it too. Once light comes on, pull over or its gonna be expensive lol. Would only require 1 output as well, just have a few conditions set!

Wouldn't you think maybe to set it at a little higher say around 100... Water temp is generally higher that oil temp by up to 10 degrees, when I give mine the beans it gets to a little over 90...

Just a suggestion

Yeah on average my water temp on the PFC shows 70-75 (depending on hot weather) and on my oil temp gauge it reads 65 or so.... Either way you don't want either of them creeping too high because that spells disaster..

Here be just some of the horrors that lurk beneath the plenum. There are more attached up under the plenum itself..........

That's not my engine, but gives you some idea

Thanks JD.

Going to be something/anything in the red circles below.

Definately Plenum off :(

Good excuse to get my Nismo on - woot woot

holds an extra litre of air and feeds number 5/6 alot better

Anyone heading out to the Nats for a look?? I have a season pass so I'll be loitering around. Will likely be in Braddon on the Fri/Sat nights too.

I'm keen to head to the drive in on the Thurs but have no idea if that's just for entrants with cars. Anyone got any idea?

It's like on the main screen at the main stage or something. Cars that aren't entered can't drive in but I'm assuming you can sit on the grass or somewhere to watch it.

They are playing Cars and Running on Empty.

Surely there's external speakers right? lol

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
