Can any body tell me what is under the hood of the Channel 7 News truck/van. I saw one drive past the other day and it had a pretty nice sounding engine and quite a loud turbo whistle. I also saw that the bonnet was fully vented.

What ever it is, it must be a total animal maybe a V8 turbo?

Has any body seen the engine or know anything about it??

Greg.

I was no Landcruiser, it was huge, must have been a one of the F series trucks, like a f250 or something, but yeah you may be right on the Diesel idea, that would explain the rumbling noise and the turbo. But it would have to be a pretty hard core Diesel.

U sound like uve never been in the passenger seat of the ol 'line b4 there aw11. That thing kiked ass, the key is to always keep ure speed up and that way u dont have to go through the laborious process of getting it back. Which i fair enuff seeing as the brakes didnt work too well anyhow :lol:

That was back in the days when they used to call me Pushzor!!!

I think aw11 meant push bike vs ae70 corrolla (your future car), would chalk up a win for the push bike :lol:

Sounds an awful like your car, don't ya think? The 'line is the total opposite!

Meh if i wanted feather weight i would have gone out and bought an echo. Nothing like the feeling of a mans car (overlooking the fact that none of the interior electrics are working atm) U want a car that makes alot of sound and the power steering is designed to give out when the aircon is on and ure making tight turns. Plus the number one good factor !!!!!-----------

Its not a Nissan :lol:

Nothing to argue with there :P

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
