thanks guys. oh and thanks for the insider knowledge Dan :bash: your missus is like 4' tall isn't she? so you'd be right? Been stuck in Launy all week, get to go and see him again tonight. :P I might update this thread every fortnight or so with new pics so you can all see him grow?

If only my GF's 405 MI16 went like that! .........instead of being the biggest piece of shit I've ever laid tools on. :P We need one these > :bash: for Ari! :wink:

New - anything up to $300 depending if you can get a trade price/mates rates. Second hand - as little as $10 from the parts trader section. You get what you pay for though. Reconditioning would be $50-$100.

:bash: 1, know it all - :wink: , know a good way to kill yourself when I see it - :P 2, "loitering in your thread" ...... public forum > don't post here if you don't want opinions from the general public. 3, I don't see how a safety concern is a "bullshit comment"? 4, I call you a c**t in return,...... but you obviously lack the depth and the warmth! The car might give you a stiffy one day. Unfortunatley it might also involve a pine box. Good day sir. :hmm:

Probably just worn brushes. Try getting somebody else to hold the key on "START" while you give the starter motor a whack with something solid, ie hammer. :bash: This will get you started in the meantime as a band-aid, but you'll still need to replace or rebuild your starter motor.

Your harness arangment is not only un-safe but illegal. There is certain angles of which the harness should not exceed, both vertically and horizontally. The way they are now you cannot expect them to be any safer than replacing your seatbelt with somebody to give you a cuddle from the back seat every time you drive. Yes the "kiddies love them" - your my hero, but do yourself a favour and don't rely on them as a safety feature until they're mounted correctly. If you can't work out why they're so dangerous have a think about what would happen should the recliner mechanism in your seat break in a serious accident. :bash:

......Yeah but you'd friggen break it!!!! :bash:

http://www.microtechefi.com/software/ltmanual.pdf PDF page 24, page 22 in bottom right corner. AuxFAN_ON This function allows the MT ECU to use the auxiliary output to switch an electronic fan on and off dependant upon water temperature. Set the AuxRPM_ON and AuxMAP_ON functions to "OFF", then set the AuxFAN_ON function to the temperature at which you wish the fan to switch on. The MT ECU will switch the fan on when the coolant temperature reaches this value; the switch-off point is automatically set 5º lower than the switch-on value. AuxFANadd If the Auxiliary output is being used to operate the thermo fan, this feature allows you to add extra fuel when the fan is switched on. The figure in this screen represents the number of milliseconds to add to the injector open time. Using this feature in combination with AuxFANair creates an “idle-up”, allowing you to compensate for temperature change and the extra alternator load generated by electric fans. AuxFANair If the Auxiliary output is being used to operate the thermo fan, this feature allows you to open the cold air bypass valve (if fitted) when the fan is switched on. The figure in this screen represents the amount you wish the valve to be opened. Using this feature in combination with AuxFANadd creates an “idle-up”, allowing you to compensate for temperature change and the extra alternator load generated by electric fans. Told you it'd be easy. Even easier than my Wolf only because you don't need to set the OFF temp as well. :bash:

It should have another plate somewhere as well with the stuff mentioned above, paint code etc. That would just be the compliance plate that you have found. 103kw would also be at the flywheel. More likely 60-80kw at the wheels.

What sort of ECU is it? AM or stock? In my wolf 3d V4 its just a matter of going limits > thermo > Activate - ON > set an ON temp > set an OFF temp. My regualr running temp is between 81* and 83* so I have the thermo fan switching on at 95* and off at 85*. Image most others AM ECU's would have the same sort of easily accessable settings, just a matter of finding them. I'm assuming you do have an AM ECU with the mention of "dash display"?

First thing I thought of when you said that..... ......have no idea wheather they are infact Momo though. Quite possibly.

Not too sure on what its supposed to be for this motor, but you could probably find out pretty easy by checking some part numbers. The temp rating is normally the last couple of numbers in the part number, so look up a 20v in a Tridan catalogue and check. Sometimes there a couple of different temps per engine too. Anywhere between 80-100* is fairly normal. Don't be too scared about 96* provided you have quality, correctly mixed coolant. You might be as suprised I was to find out that the thermo fan in a V6 commonwhore doesn't actually turn on until temp reaches 103*C!!!! Also worth checking your radiator is in decent condition. Does matter what temp you thermostat opens at, if your radiator can't displace heat as quick as the engine generates it then you always going to have an overheating problem. :bash:

Yeah I get where you're coming from, but to use your words..... the 4kc was never complied with a turbo!

5KTE now mate. :bash:

You sure you're not thinking of Borbets Philbey? Cause they're a bit different to these.....

Fairo. I'll point him in the right direction then. :bash: here is your answer

Cool cool. Let me know if you need a hand wiring up the limiter. :bash:

....and you don't think that will give you any defect/rego grief!? :bash:

$250 is just for the conversion parts right? IE thats not a fitted price? Either way just parts is a good price, fitted would be a steal. Info on, and a pic of a welded cross member here..... http://www.rollaclub.com/board/?showtopic=25991&st=30 :bash:

:bash: forget something Ben?

Yes Tighe could supply springs. This is what I would call a "fun daily" list of mods, its nothing remotely serious at all. Hence forget about bigger valves - for what it'll cost you the other mods just don't support it. Port and polish for sure.

Yeah I know, thats the worse kept secret in tassie finish. I know there's heaps over summer, just wanna know if there's some about in the colder months.

Set of uprated valve springs as recommended by Tighe for lift over 0.400". Maybe shave the head for some more comp, but I'd only bother if I was taking the head off for some other reason ie valve grind or something.

Yeah no worries I can bring an extra rod.... or 2 for you to use. I think I really need to do some fishing soon, just relax and forget about other stuff for an afternoon. You know if there's still much squid around G'town?

Derr, just re-read first post. :bash: If he saw it on a plane then it must be on DVD in the states already.
