The Wasteland - ACT Style

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.

[GTRKat]

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.

[Sinista32]

my zorst has no bung in the bung hole

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

[Humpty Dumpty]

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.

[Humpty Dumpty]

Running well is everything any car owner wants but sometimes life bites you in the bum which i am sure most of us on here has been through

[GTRKat]

Indeed.

And hey that was what I needed to step it up a notch so everything worked out in the end I guess. lol.

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

[k_d]

I was going to wait till its got rego, see what it normally sits at then set it 10 above that. Your probly right tho, it would be closer to 100.

Oil sits at 90.

[Humpty Dumpty]

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

[Sinista32]

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

[GTRKat]

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?

[B-rice]

Drive in with an import? I'm even scared to drive outer the house theyll be so much coppers can't risk getting a defect.

[GTRKat]

GTR isn't entered.

Hence wondering if I can still go and sit outside to watch it.

[Shell]

What's on at the drive in? If it's scrute you won't be able to go in, but if you mean sit outside on the street I don't see why not lol

[Shell]

Did anyone go to the supercruise?

[GTRKat]

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
