hmm still can't decide wether too drive or not. the clutch is starting to loose pressue, will it be able to last a longish drive?

does any one have a spare seat that they don't mind me going? as i would like tp meet a few people as i didn't really on the victor cruise.

I m coming from Chandlers hill, on the way down to victor it started to rattle in fifth gear, now there is very little pressure on the clutch. It goes to the firewall with little reistance. will get it checked out when i m on holidays at the end of march (there is no way i would let any one from work touch it)

lol

there is still a rattle, the clutch isn't slipping it has just lost all pressure at the peddle. hope fully this isn't going to effect anything

I'm starting to think that i bought bit of a lemon, as they made a point of telling me it had a new clutch just before delivery! hhmmm there may be something in that

no it doesn't smell

as it was new when i got it i don't know what they are meant to be like normally, i might bring my car along and maybe some one can have a feel of the clutch and let me know what you think.

OH MY GOD!!!! so annoying. installed new fuel pump today, all good till the car started to DIE!!!!! power cuts out at random, did an ecu diag, looks like the MAF sensor is gone. so it looks like im out god damn it. i'll see what i can do.

ps anyone got a spare? i cuts in and out maybe a connection problem.

The early Q45's tend to suffer from this too. Have you tried cleaning it? Put dielectic grease on the connector?

Checked to see if the connector is on snug?

I cleaned mine with CO CONTACT CLEANER, but any electrical parts cleaner that leaves no residue will do the job just as well. Also, If you use a pod filter, whch requires oiling (K&N), the oil can actually coat the filament in the sensor, and cause it to act like it's dying.

Get a can of electrical parts cleaner from just about any Auto parts store, and clean it!

Oh, forgot to mention.

MY TIMING CHAIN GUIDES JUST ARRIVED FROM THE U.S.A!

Not making any promises, but I hope to have them in by the end of saturday (18th)...

So , I might be able to make it after all!

The kit looks something like this.....

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
