  1. Hey dudes recently started working on my ST185 again after it sitting in garage for 18 months. All good now but the avcr screen is blank, just buttons are lit. Have heard this is either earthing (checked connections, ok) or dead screen. It was flickering when first turned on but now just blank each time. Would like to try plug it it to someone's harness if anyone else is using one? I'm in Northgate here. thanks
  2. lol gold...the chicks dig it rough
  3. . It won't, I believe this part is under mild pressure at idle. Pull a vac line off after the throttle plate and see if the idle changes. u sure it's not just the boost controller solenoid clicking away, they can be pretty loud.
  4. need a new ignition coil for my ST185, was looking at these http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CAD-Quality-Ignition-coil-Toyota-Celica-GT4-MR2-3SGTE-Soarer-V8-Supra-JZA80-/110767423404?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19ca40bfac brand is CAD, anyone ever heard of them, know much about quality of them? Couldn't find too much info on the googelator about them
  5. so, is anyone that's posted actually an engine rebuilder or qualified mechanic? Reason being, it was actually a mechanic from a well known and respected tuning workshop that recommended this as a way of removing carbon deposits from an engine we were having trouble with (and no, he did not have a spare engine there he was trying to sell). It is putting water through an engine so I'm not surprised about some of the comments lol, but I have seen it work firsthand and done it several times in different engines, and never had any engine trouble afterwards, no water in oil, nothing. Small amounts being the key, not a gardenhose or firehose, although I admire the enthusiasm there
  6. glad I could brighten your day . It's not a new one though, been around a long time.
  7. thanks for the feedback. Are any of you an engine rebuilder or qualified mechanic? cause looks like I might need one ..j/k. But seriously.. didn't end up with that.
  8. and where are the stripes?
  9. steam cleaning. Running water through a vacuum line into the engine, effectively pressure-steam cleaning the engine, to remove carbon build up.
  10. ahh ok, no worries.
  11. So was rigging up a vacuum line to do the ol' skool steam cleaning of the engine....pulled off the boost controller hose that's connected to the bung on the std intercooler return pipe (connects to crossover pipe) and instead of it pulling air in at idle, it's pushing air out? So it's under pressure instead of under vacuum? How can that possibly be, shouldn't intake be under vacuum at idle?
  12. cam gear still available. seriously, they're awesome, and that's cheap. not sold yet, ??WTF LOL OMG DRABC
  13. I guess it keeps going forward ever so slightly...feels like it doesn't move though, like it just rolls forward on momentum until other wheel connects with the ground again.
  14. sorry mods pls move, think i might have posted it in wrong subforum...thanks
  15. hey all pls help me understand something, I have a s2 R33 gtst, thought they all came with lsd as standard. Since fitting bc coilovers i have noticed coming out of steep driveways etc where one rear wheel is off ground temporarily, the free wheel spins like mad and the one on the ground still doesn't move when giving it some throttle. I thought lsd was to transfer traction to wheel with most grip (eg one on ground still) or am I way off? Did search but didn't find any answer thanks
  16. also have an R34 stock side mount intercooler with shroud. No damage, general minor scuffs from being on a car for last 10 years. Happy to post pics if needed. $80 for this + post.
  17. $20 for radiator hose. Genuine SFS brand, not no-name brand chinese hose.
  18. that's what I was getting at, offering to help within reason lol
  19. no worries, will pm them when i get home tonite
  20. sure, would do them for $50 posted. Postage would be more than $10, but I will pay whatever the difference is.
  21. yeah me lol. What is it you need done?
