Thanks Hyper-Mike, I emptied half a can of RP7 on there already with not much luck. 

I'll follow it down, worst case is I'll cut it and flare it, explored the AN fittings today...TOO expensive for now.

Also explored the welding them on, our welder at work was like "nah, if that plate warps you're stuffed, and I don't want anything to do with that"

My boss suggested putting on some EFI hose and clamps and put a barb into the hose after cutting the nuts out, may also just head down that route.

Yeah they are, was going to grab one then saw your post, back to meek

Thanks

This has been sold, thanks gents.

Deepsouth, you have a manual?

When I say manual I mean parts breaks down, I wish I had a manual...sorry

No worries TBOWGN glad to help where I can, nothing more frustrating than chasing parts for these cars!

Which one do you need?

So another update, life has been hectic and the weather has sucked so getting a saturday when the weather is clear and i'm not working has been rare.

But finally today it happened! 

Got this killer kit  from work to track down those pesky boost and vacuum leaks.

It has all these fittings and you fit the compressor to the regulator and voosh, open close, charge the system to recommended PSI ( I did 20psi for now )then listen.

Found 3 leaks so far, first was turbo inlet pipe, it had a rubber inner that had been folded over and was causing a poor seal so rectified that.

The other two were pains! First one was the Idle control sensor, a little bit of soapy water and BOOM bubbles coming right out from the middle of ICS!

Couldnt get a good picture but it was frothing like crazy, good thing today was replacement day, replaced it and no more leaks and a beautifully idling car finally!

The second was from a screw thingy in the throttle body, haven't addressed that one yet as my wife needed the car. 

Even had a helper today, she was super stoked to find out I was working on the car, she came running out and was into it straight away! 

So next will be fixing the throttle body leak and replacing the brake pads all around, then custom exhaust, get the head done and fit some big cams, bigger turbo and ecu.

Slowly eating this elephant!

Thanks Marinetowing, BK owes you

Bit scary only having one stand under the front, or is that an optical illusion?

I thought you were supposed to use them in pairs so the car doesn't fall on you.

 

Is that an actual jacking point? I have always worried about where to jack up the HSGR

So far haven't bent anything but always worry.

Looks like the front white one is holding up the engine while the two blues are jacked up holding axles or under a-arms

Jealous of all that space!

Haven't seen it but if you ring Pro Automotive i'm sure they will let you know what the car is like, I did that before I bought mine and they were more than helpful.

I love kayak fishing! So much fun, nothing like being able to get right into those spots others can't!

I was fishing in one spot and had fish jumping into the yak and over it! 

When you hook onto a good fish and you watch your tip disappear into the water and the drag is screaming, its addictive!

Only of it on the car, I still have the box if you want a pick of the box?

 Got any pics of this sensor?

It is an awesome read and essentially explains each motor likes particular cams depending on setup.

I would have a read and then make your choice based on what you want to do.
