by **FOR.0EL** » June 3rd, 2009, 10:09 pm

got josh and his brother (e series falcon) to have a look at the dizzy, adjusted it a bit and its running better, no more pinging! i love the idle so much, is a bit of a prick to drive when cold though. ohwell!

by **e series falcon** » June 4th, 2009, 3:47 pm

hey nath i burnt my finger aswell when i moved ur dizzy :lol:

by **travs ea-xr6** » June 4th, 2009, 5:58 pm

I noticed in the video when you start it it is prity ritch but once its been running and reved for a few seconds it leans back out to normal fuel mixture by the looks of it.
im prity sure on the j3 chip you can adjust the ritch start up seting in the ecu.
might pay to check the O2 sensore to

car sounds sick, love it.
i wish i could get something that lumpy on auto stally

by **thebeast.** » June 9th, 2009, 8:46 pm

sounds good mate, nice job

by **krisisdog** » June 9th, 2009, 8:56 pm

Do you have a J3 chip? If not I'd highly recommend one, will smooth out the idle, and give a nice midrange boost with the right tune.

by **FOR.0EL** » June 9th, 2009, 9:13 pm

yep got a j3 mate, need to fine tune it a bit.

by **thebeast.** » June 10th, 2009, 8:45 am

how much are these j3 chips n do they give much improvment??

by **FOR.0EL** » June 10th, 2009, 9:46 am

$350 for mine, only really need them if you make a change in which they are required, for instance i got this cam which wont run without a chip, (requires more fuel, ect ect)

Thats about all i can tell ya..

by **thebeast.** » June 10th, 2009, 9:58 am

oh ok thanks, have you dynoed yous yet. im interested in what it would make

by **FOR.0EL** » June 10th, 2009, 10:16 am

Nope, i would like to though..

it will happen eventually, hopefully i can get some kinda dyno and a fine tune happening soon!

by **thebeast.** » June 10th, 2009, 10:18 am

should of dynoed it while it was stock to see the improvment...

by **FOR.0EL** » June 10th, 2009, 10:21 am

Yeah i wish.. its like $80 just for a dyno readout here, id rather spend that on a full tank of fuel haha!

by **FOR.0EL** » June 18th, 2009, 10:52 pm

taken the other day at the spit.

my new fav pic of the car perhaps ?

by **krisisdog** » June 18th, 2009, 11:11 pm

Chips alone are about $130 with a somewhat custom tune done before theyre sent out (minor mods to fuel, VE & spark table). Or you can get a chip+burner for 200 odd which you can custom tune yourself. Well worth every cent!

FOR.0EL, are you on the Goldy or Bris?

by **Dumpsta** » June 20th, 2009, 10:14 pm

Saw this in the background of some of the pics posted of the spit on boostcruising.. (assuming same day as your pic) looked good there as well

.

by **travs ea-xr6** » June 20th, 2009, 10:27 pm

im prity sure he brough super lows but to my eyes it looks like super lows in the fron and ultra lows in the back

by **FOR.0EL** » June 21st, 2009, 1:00 am

Supers all round

yeah i head out to the spit alot, never seem to get many photos taken, if any!

i suppose because im not in a VY on shit chromies with stockies on the back

by **Dumpsta** » June 21st, 2009, 6:48 pm

Is there always a good chance of seeing some nice cars out at the spit? Im going to be down that way for the powercruise and the plan is to spend a day down that way (probably on the friday/night)... havnt been to the big city for a few years now. :-P

by **FOR.0EL** » June 21st, 2009, 7:01 pm

yeah most of the times ive been there has been a fair few nice cars to look at, ALOT of commodores, with stockies on the back and whatnot, but you get used to it.

by **Dumpsta** » June 23rd, 2009, 6:16 pm

by **FOR.0EL** » July 2nd, 2009, 11:29 am

so like i have a power steering leak. which i have not yet done anything about..

seal in the steering rack? the oil pressure sender thing? im not totally sure on this one... ?

i have pics though

note at the top of this pic the oil is on the frame of the car, look upppp lol..
how does it get there?

leaking like a pregnant woman

and the supervisor at work

so yeah im not sure what ill have to replace? as im sick of replacing fluid every day lol.

by **travs ea-xr6** » July 2nd, 2009, 11:40 am

looks like its coming out of the switch on the rack

by **OED666** » July 2nd, 2009, 12:30 pm

yep, i'd say the switch too. is there excess movement/play in teh rack

by **vulpine** » July 2nd, 2009, 12:56 pm

i had the same problem ages ago, it was the steering pressure switch.
about a ten second job to replace.

by **travs ea-xr6** » July 2nd, 2009, 1:34 pm

just pull it out and put some teflon on it or some gasket gue

by **burnt turtle** » July 2nd, 2009, 1:44 pm

yeh definitely looks like the switch, they normally leak through so you cant reseal them, and are cheap to replace

by **travs ea-xr6** » July 2nd, 2009, 2:00 pm

and nay try puting the stand under a better place then that coz where that is now wont save u if the car falls :shock:

by **FOR.0EL** » July 2nd, 2009, 6:49 pm
