$500 ?

with that money, as stated before, you could be driving an ET, and your sis could have another immaculate old N/A pulsar.

ah well, i guess it was out of your hands.
looks good tho

yeah...n/a pulsar......$350, picked 1 up the other day! mint!

Well its ben a while.. umm nearly a year.. and the car has been in and out of the mechanics with things screwin up.. just recently the immobiliser blew and i had to yank that out cos the useless mechanics who had the car from 3 months couldn't figure it out.. so i yanked the thing out.. and also the coil was shorting out.. but other than that.. the car is all running.. just not running well.. went for drive this morning and the car started bogging down at 80.. then it went down to 60 then 40 and i couldnt get the car to go faster than 40km/h then when going downhill got it back to 60 but that was it.. crappy 1.3L engine.. lookin into a E15 N/A or ET ET would be best.. but depends on the budget.. anyways.. thats all from me for now

Hey psychotic.. what is pga? lol and i dunno what ur talkin bout do i have a pic of my sister in this thread still? i thought she took it down LOL

Anyway... Update time

Last night on my way home from work radiator blew and withing 30 seconds the radiator emptied, engine overheated and headgasket blew...

i have started striping engine down to replace head gasket.. but am usure as to whether or not it is actually leaking that bad.. it leaks more out of the engine rather than in it as the oil looks fine.. and i think it leaks into the cylinders too so blows a bit of white smoke.. any idea what i can use to fix without rippin off the head? i dont wanna do too much work as in 2 months time the car will be off the road to have a E15ET installed, metallic green paint job and white leather interior... i have recently installed a Cold air induction kit for it (this is a carby) and had a 2" lukey system put on.. car absolutely roars its a competition between the carby and the exhaust system lol lovei t really startin to turn heads now

anyways pics!

rocker cover, CAI, radiator, Thermostat removed and exhaust manifold detached

Cold Air Induction, Just sittin on so u can see it

Rocker cover with breather attached masked up was going to anodize it green but ran out of green anodize... damn! what a small arse engine

New exhaust system.. when E15ET goes in whill be replaced with a dual 2.5" Cannon setup (One out each side)

The oil.. never had a blown head gasket before.. is this what the oil would look like? its not really brown thats just the camera.. its actually very thick and very black!

pga= pulsar group australia.

hey with the cold air intake what did u do with all the emmions crap,i wanted to put one on mine but it didnt run right cos it didnt have the lil thingys hooked up lol

Langley84 · Post by **Langley84** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 3:17 pm

emissions crap? hon, its an 84 there are no emissions things.. not even a catalitic convertor

is urs carby?

PSYCHOTIC ANGEL · Post by **PSYCHOTIC ANGEL** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 3:21 pm

yep mines carby,i mean they hook up to the air box thingy undernearth the carby ?

Langley84 · Post by **Langley84** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 3:37 pm

nah u dont need that crap.. only important thing is the breather pipe.. which i reccomend u get a performance oil breather from ur nearest automotive store.. they are small and grey with chrome bits washable.. very good..

the other brands tend to have too big of a whole and they break really easy.. performance one has a very small hole but stretches over the PCV pipe really easily

PSYCHOTIC ANGEL · Post by **PSYCHOTIC ANGEL** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 4:02 pm

can they defect me for not having it all hooked up,mine didnt seem to run right with out it all? maybe its just mine lol,doesnt it suck in hot ait from the motor? have you thort about puting on a bonnet scoop an cuting holes in ya bonnet as long as you dont cut the strength things its legal

Langley84 · Post by **Langley84** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 4:19 pm

yes will be doin the scoop.. usesalot of fuel but runs nicely... just need to adjust th carby to not use so much fuel as its trying to compensate for the 2000% extra air its getting so runnin really rich
the air flow is so much better with the cai and zorst tho

i was shown how to do this years ago when i had my first car. too long ago to remember, anyways i used a multimeter (cant remember which setting) and you adjust the mixture screws on the carb while watching the reading.

only thing was, the main screw i needed to adjust had a sheath over it which i needed to cut off before i could turn it! but was worthwhile exercise

Langley84 · Post by **Langley84** » Tue Jun 24, 2008 4:49 pm

cool.. ill just put up with the excess fuel flow.. will be fuel injected turbo soon anyways vrrrrrrrom PUTSHHHHHHH

Project Pulsar is Officially on PAUSE! the engine is completely rooted! the gasket blew in a way that the water flowed into the cylinders flooding the engine! sooo it gonna need a new gasket.. and im WAY too lazy to rip the engine apart.. so every now n then wheni get a nice day i will rip the engine out a lil more.. when engine is out will repaint car!

and then still tossin up between an E15ET or an SR20DET.. will be one or the other.. if need be may even end up bein a CA18DET.. but we will see! until then i am the proud owner of a EF Falcon GLi

157Kw 357nm Torque
