  1. This probably needs it's own thread. The 2 issues (door locking and mirror) might not be directly related since the window still works. Since you can't unlock the door with the switch (and I assume with the key from the outside), it sounds like the push rods that run between the lock, internal switch, key, internal and external handle have a problem, potentially one has come off and jammed or the central locking motor might be sized. Whatever it is, you need to remove the door card to check it all out, give all of the moving parts in the locking system a good clean and grease with a sticky grease like lithium spray.
  2. well done on the PB ......not so well done driving straight into the bog on that new rallysprint course 😛
  3. Nice, limited edition KH2
  4. Rev racegear have also been around forever, I've bought a lot of stuff there too. Staff are racers themselves which helps, but they don't stock as much as Vsport.
  5. I've mostly used V-sport for in person stuff, they have a good range and service in my experience. https://goo.gl/maps/6d6MwJhf9NHyYR8eA?coh=178571&entry=tt Of course all motorsport stuff shop is expensive, online is cheaper but obviously you can't tell quality/fit etc that way, and if all the physical shops go out of business we will lose the option to check stuff is comfortable before buying
  6. I use a larger 100 micron and smaller 30 micron set. Of course it is in a race car but it does run pump fuel, I just clean them out each year
  7. no idea on the standard one, ryco don't think it is important to list as a spec: https://rycofilters.com.au/part/z387 however not the size of the filter is very large compared to the 30 micron AN style ones.
  8. Yes, I would (I do). The small filter may block very quickly and require regular cleaning (or you risk sudden engine death)
  9. Thanks the pic helps, I've not had any experience with semi or fully returnless personally. A standard, return setup would certainly work at that level with -6 feed lines. I would say that a single 30 micron filter might be an issue, generally you would have a larger (100 micron) pre-filter as well.
  10. I'm a little confused what you mean exactly, but at 300kw the stock lines and rail are fine so whatever you are thinking above should be too.
  11. yes, for sure you can just tap in, just make sure the connections are good quality because if you add any resistance in the joint the gauge and ECU might read high (or low for fuel level)
  12. Understood, but unfortunately a key reason for a cold radiator is that there is no coolant in it, it will just be at ambient air temp then.... It is way hard to guess without seeing the car, but coolant can look like smoke and no coolant feels like cold coolant
  13. Is there any coolant in the radiator?
  14. A minor overfill will be no issue
  15. so, as I mentioned in another thread on this leak recently, just back off the attessa line where it goes into the rear of the transfer case about 1/2 turn (or 12 turns if I can't type), then tighten it up again. Give everything a thorough degrease and see how it goes. you can monitor the level of that fluid in the reservoir in the boot, just top it up if necessary
  16. Great to see it coming along. It might just be the angle, but with the adapter the unprotected battery+ terminal looks crazy close to the earthed battery hold down bar....I'd hate to see this car burn to the ground....
  17. We talked about this a month ago including posting the wiring of the switches Headlight switch is a common failure point on R32, attempting to clean is an option but I would (did!) replace the whole switch as they are readily available new, and you won't have to worry again until 2055. If you still have issues with the dash lights after replacing the switch I'd check the loom between the headlight switch and dash for continuity issues or loose/damaged pins, and it is possible (but less likely) if there is a single ground for the dash lights and nothing else that has an issue.
  18. Does not having a cat result in error lights? I'm sure my Titan has less than factory and it runs OK (similar ECU)
  19. Thanks for the pic, that is good info for next time. There is every chance the 4wd sensor is the same wiring plus the additional sensor with additional wiring, maybe ask midori or others if A-LSD Is supported
  20. No, what you need to do is get an O2 sensor bung welded onto the new exhaust. The factory ECU relies heavily on accurate O2 readings at all times.
  21. Does the brake dash light come on when you put the parking brake on? Anyway. I don't have a 33 A-LSD wiring manual, but the R32 GTR manual shows all the wiring at the g sensor comes directly from the boot control unit So, at this stage it seems like your gsensor probably has an issue because: 1. We know it is plugged in 2. The control unit must be at least partly working because you saw error codes on it (ie, it has enough power and earth to fire up) Next I would use a multimeter to check continuity of each of those 9 wires from the g sensor to the control unit. If they are all OK, assuming there is not another g-sensor handy to swap in and check, it is probably time to buy a replacement. I believe midori make one, and probably others.
  22. BTW, not sure if you were already aware, but an incorrectly installed vacuum tube almost certainly means your engine has been out and probably rebuilt at some stage (potentially head only). You can't get at that pipe without moving the front timing cover, timing gears and rear timing cover too which you would never bother doing for something like a timing belt change.
  23. I'm not going to try and wash my car with copper washers. Yes, they have "wash" in the name but it's just not the same thing
  24. lol I just assumed it was a 33 gtst because there was no mention of 4wd not working. Imagine how much easier it would be to help if people listed their car, and their location, in the fields called "car" and "location" in their profile!
