Yeah, I'll change it in a week or so.

I'm fairly sure it's okay but when I see a metallic like substance after I drain the oil into a bottle I freak out a bit.

There wasn't anything on the magnetic plug but not everything in there is magnetic.

I might do a dry and wet compression test as well.

Send it off to get tested :)

Costs about $40 from memory

Take car. Go to Mum's. Kill Phil - "Sorry." - grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over. How's that for a slice of fried gold?

So I've been tinkering in the workshop (waiting for more parts for the Segway to arrive) and I made a "clappa". ya'know, where you clap your hands twice and the lights turn on/off.

It's really freakin awesome, sitting on the couch thinking damn the movies started and the lights still on and i wish i didn't have to get up and turn them off... But now I just clap my hands twice and the lights turn off!

If i can get the production speed and costs down a bit i might make a bunch of them, a couple of work colleagues already want a couple.

Any interest for this out there in the non-electricians world?

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
