getting started on my GSR

[84GKSIG]

OOOOOOh, what did you get done?

well, i took all of GSRSYNDROMEs tools that were in the tool chest and the tool chest its self and put it on the floor upside down for him

[VGJONO]

Sounds super productive 84

[84GKSIG]

i try to do my best lol - cars coming along nicely though but ill leave it up to GSRSYNDROME to say what was done

[GSRSYNDROME]

cyclone 84gksig lol never ever let that man around your tools lol sig is running alot smoother after a little tune to the carb and sorting out the bov only hand brake and rear brakes to finish then put car back together more to do this weekend then book it in for a new exhaust system

[GSRSYNDROME]

oh and scorp we wired up the thermo, tuned the holley,fixed the boost gauge but mostly had some fun ,,,, we did invent bluetooth thermo senders ask 84 about that one lol

[Scorpma82]

interesting with the bluetooth.....when you drive around in traffic, you connect to everyone else's mobile phone

84gksig has been on a roll the last week or so! GSRSYNDROME's car is up and running and now he's got his own GH turbo punching like a freight train. Nice work guys.

[GSRSYNDROME]

thanks geezer he is a very handy bloke, the blue tooth was my fault i didnt attach the loom to the heat sender, 84 was like its not working im like why not then he said heres your problem how did you expect it to work without pluging this in , im was like hmmmmm blue tooth lol the fumes had got to be from the carby

[Scorpma82]

ahhhhhhhhh, i get ya now lol

[geezer101]

IMO 84gksig could take a broken toaster and a discman, put them together and get it to run Windows 8. He is THE guy when it comes to the tricky stuff (when he's not sending tools flying everywhere)

[GSRSYNDROME]

well tomorrow should be a big busy day on the gsr brakes, diff oil change and bolt the bugger back together wish me luck running solo

[GSRSYNDROME]

well today didnt go to plan, the black magic that lives in my engine bay has struck again got fuel pissing out the fuel vent tube, nothing i have done seems to be working today grrrr. if the car doesnt work soon ill turn it into a bird cage lol

[Scorpma82]

You still running the original mechanical fuel pump????

You may find that the diaphragm has spit ( if the engine hasn't been running for sometime, it may have gone totally dry, turned brittle and broken once the fuel psi increased from the engine running)

[GSRSYNDROME]

hi scorp, its running a holley blue fuel pump and reg, fuel pesuure is correct, checked the neadle seat and float all ok , bloody thing ran perfect last weekend going to leave it for tonight and have a fresh look tomorrow

[84GKSIG]

how accurate is that fuel pressure guage any way?

[GSRSYNDROME]

tested it using to differant types of gauge mate think is still stuffing up got me stuffed as to why. not what i needed at this stage of the build

[84GKSIG]

try push the pressure down to around 4 psi ?

[GSRSYNDROME]

yeah did that no differance got a guy having a look at it tomorrow fingers crossed,

[GSRSYNDROME]

fingers crossed the gremlin with the carby is sorted played a bit with it friday night thought it was fixed cold start today = no start grrrrr.
So once again i re set it all and so far so good it runs again ill have to se how it goes when cold . lost two weekends to it now cant lose another

[GSRSYNDROME]

got the brakes sorted on the gsr, rebuild kit to the rears plus pads hooked up the hand brake minus the internal hook up (missing some bits ), new pads and sorted out the lines on the front , filled the diff with new oil and replace fuel filters, a good days work

[84GKSIG]

thats pretty damn good effort if you ask me, how much did the rebuild kit for the rear calipers set you back?

[GSRSYNDROME]

cheers dude $27 each side, there like new now cant find the bit that goes from the hand brake to the cables its like a long threaded bolt thing but if my memory is good i think the gj sig set up is the same i must go hunting i think

[GSRSYNDROME]

handbrake hook up done big thankyou to my local parts guy 84

[84GKSIG]

[GSRSYNDROME]

the sig is aliveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, sorted out the carby combination or things but i had a blocked needle and seat to start with, took that out cleaned it , put it back together still didnt work and spent the last few weekends trying to adjust the level but no dice.

Took the bowl off last night had a close look at the brass float and noticed it was bent, (probably from over tightening the needle) took the float out then noticed it was full of fuel, so a new float and needle later she idles like a dream. might just get it finished in time for my wedcding

[bruggz351]

Way to go dude...

cheers

[GSRSYNDROME]

well i took the gsr for a belt down the street and for a car than hasnt had a tune i must say im one happy chappy, it pulls hard and smooth, the holley blue fuel pump is noisy as might have to put some softer mounts on it i think, time to put the thing back together and fix up a little wiring

[TUFSIG]

i found that padding my fuel pump in soft foam that you get in most electronics boxes worked a treat for making my 044 pump quiet

[GSRSYNDROME]

good idea cheers tufsig, ive used some silicone rubber for the mounts , it has helped but still a little loud but the car runs like a dream so im stoked

[GSRSYNDROME]

took the beast out for a drive today and she runs like a dream, got a few looks too
