[Roo]

Found a buyer if insurance writes their car off

[paulngui]

For want of a better thread to post this in, a couple of shots from a morning cruise on Sunday just gone to Port Waikato with some workmates:

[Marky]

Thats quite the assortment!

I got one of those $20 obd2 bluetooth dongles, got the free torque app, and like ermagerrd so merch infermaaaation

No really its quite interesting seeing stuff do stuff

[Roo]

Found and fixed the water leak!

Just need spare viscous fan redrilled, replace water pump and then it\'s the fun stuff like buying a bigger wastegate spring

[Marky]

Or... making it legal

Either or

I has these 2 ( I paid for torque pro )

some interesting things i picked up

1kd hiace (2013) boost pressure spikes to 20psi, fuel rail pressure gets to about 20,000 psi

313 sprinter (2012) boost pressure spikes to 30 psi, fuel rail pressure gets to about 29,000 psi

I guess this is why common rail diesels can have problems with the high pressure pump

[Roo]

I had always been under the impression common rail ran that or more anyway?

So you\'re thinking with some better boost control there may be less trouble?

That spike will be that real hit of grunt they have, on less they\'d feel a bit flat

[ADIKT]

Is that right 29,000psi?? That\'s crazy

Yep, it\'ll do madly nasty things to you if you crack the nut on a line without releasing the pressure first.

[Roo]

Have heard it can blow a hole in your finger, or at least puncture the skin

I\'ve heard a bloody nasty anecdote about it basically slicing a hole in someone\'s arm then filling a big pocket under the skin with diesel. So gross.

When you consider that a waterjet that can cut 6" steel only runs ~90,000psi... it\'s not something to play with.

fuuuuuuuuuckin hell - still trying to get my head around stupid crazy pressure like that

[boon]

Well, you can\'t really squash most fluids very much... so all you have to do is put a lot of force into it and push it through a small nozzle.

(excuse my conversion to imperial units here)

If I (roughly 200lb) jumped on a 3ft long lever I would generate 600lbf of force.

If that force was concentrated into a a 1mm x 1mm spot (.00155 square inches) - say, the end of a nail) the pressure would be close to 400000psi.

Which is basically how a hammer and nail works

[DRFVDR]

i will see if i can take screen shots or something pretty impressive piece of kit really for the price of an OBD11 bluetooth connector and a $6.50 app

I really got it for OBD11 fault codes and resetting, but i use a lot more than I thought.

also have used it to compare GPS km/hr to ECU km/hr to speedo km/hr

[nickch]

DashCommand stopped working after an ECU flash =\

[syphe]

had my front struts regreased, they were pretty dry and making some annoying knocks, all good now, so much nicer to drive.

[AdamOst]

Amazing service by subaruspeed, purchased item online this morning around midday, was at my house when i got home from work tonight. So not I have a cusco brake master cylinder brace to install

[KiwiJoe]

Took my Legacy to a repair shop for an insurance repair quote after someone kindly drove up the back of me on the way home yesterday (pissing down in Christchurch).

[94 Leone]

Not today, but the other day I realised the source of my cars lacklustre performance; \'twas a case of coil clip not being there and one of the cylinders not firing consistently fixed now: runs like a dream I no longer have a niggling in the back of my head as to why it wasn\'t going so well. Now to sell, and go to a GD wrx
