I'll keep that in mind, thanks mate.

Mate those are all good - my brother has a Farr 1020 and has a genuine late 80's autohelm that just will not die. Obviously you don't use it when there is lots of load on the helm but we have done several non stop runs from AKL to the BOI on the autohelm in up to 20 knots of breeze and no drama so far. I remember seeing your yacht around AKL in some regattas and races, nice boat.

The shroud arrived, it'll need some trimming to suit but was cheap enough I pulled the manifold off and sat the turbo in place with the v band adaptor bolted on so I can start figuring out the manifold. I'd be a lot easier to fit the tubo without the air con compressor The downpipe is going to be fun and a lot of bends too, it'll probably will do a U-turn then sneak behind the manifold and down. @Raizer trimmed the Drain fitting and that now fits nicely (I'll need to clock the core to sort out the angles ) The sinco merge collector is quite nice, I might need to shorten it a little as its quite long and space is limited I've ordered some more steampipe short radius bends as I don't have enough. The Nissan genuine studs for the turbo are 40mm M8x1.25 and are $12 each, The Honda studs are 38mm M8x1.25 and are $2.50 each so I'll order a bunch of honda studs and hope the 2mm won't make that much difference

Snitches get stitches..........

Same same

Was excited for wof achieved update, bummer for the plug thread

Were not the cops. Or narks

The bits I need for that Wof have arrived, the wheel bearing might be a mission, but we will see. In the meantime I have been hoovering/relearning what I need to know about DCNF carbs and have had some useful and enlightening conversations, some of which can be found in my DCNF thread.. I also decided to replace the expensive oil in the tranny with fresh expensive oil. Mostly cos I drained it all out to put a bit of sealant on the drain plug as it was dripping a tad. When it came out it was kindof murky which I guess is the new oil washing out and interacting with the old. So I did that and it resulted in a pretty significant drip from the drain plug regardless of my sealing efforts. I did a wee bit of investigation, which has had this slightly annoying result; I have a spare box which I stripped enough to get that housing off, pretty much for practice but to see if I could just use that. But unfortunately they are different. This might mean enlisting @yoeddynz in some dirty welding duties I I cant find someone slightly closer. If it welds ok I will tap it out with a parallel thread rather than taper and machine a flat face so it can use a washer for sealing.

Could we do a date that isn’t the 16th please? Seems like the third Thursday always clashes with a thing I have to go to. But keen for Fisherman’s Table. Haven’t been there since maybe 1994 or something like that.

Thats probably a regurgitated rule from a really old oldschool event form. Personally, i dont give a shit.

Yeah so the trigger code for the 2gr lets it run as wasted spark / batch fire until it gets a cam trigger signal. So originally i had timing 360 deg out, then it would work as wasted spark but then cut out when it found trigger 2. Ha. Yeah so there are 4x cam angle sensors for vvti, one gets connected as trigger 2 then the other 3 to DIs. According to some old posts on the link forum the trigger decoding only works if set to falling edge. As otherwise the timing of crank vs cam overlaps in a weird way for vvti range. Will do some checks with a multimeter tomorrow.

I'll sort my entries next week (pay week)

well it will run like it has a carb at least

So you’re saying once again carb is superior to fuel injection?

Have you tired changing the edge they trigger on? Does the toyota setup use a 5v supply? The cherry/zf sensors say they will run off 5v, but they case the odd trigger errot on link, when run on 5v? Are the sensors for the vvti? its not seeing them in the f12 menu?

Yeah, pullup according to documentation.

are you sure that a pull up resistor is correct for your sensor? it may be wanting a pull down. 5v when hall is OFF 5v when hall is ON

You've got a few months to sort child care

*girly screams of excitement * just got these through

So the above teaser was me dropping the ute off to a panelbeater near palmy. this is his update pics. i just didn’t have the time or mental energy to grind my way through the stitching phase, or attacking the mint bonnet with a grinder. he has made up new flanges for the front of the guards , he won’t use the rx3 guards on this set up, all new steel. have also tasked him to fill over the fuel filler hole as I can’t utilise that once I drop tank it out the back anyway. So now I’m forced to drop tank it now instead of when I bag it. it means that I can carry on with the tubs when it’s back. I will end up using push button bonnet pins, hopefully they’re ok as a bonnet pin for road use. I’ll also fit a check strap as a secondary safety measure happy days

Fuck that off with a sharp stick. I would never inflict that kind of pain on any individual looking to aggressively sharn and relax, I make dumb decisions, but I’m not a cunt

it might depend a little bit on just how wild the cams are, i have found with an air flow metered engine you can get away with a bit, certainly more than you can on a MAP sensor engine. You'd want to be sure it has piston to valve clearance, and see if the cams are designed to run close to base cam timing, i dropped some smallish kelfords into my old evo on stock cam gears, and it didn't really have much affect on AFR's, but I can confirm it did in fact go hard for what it was.

If little kids def agree don't bring them but thought if late teens they might be okay.
