I'm sure most of you have driven paradise st of late.... Wht a joke the upgraded road there is already started to fall apart ...... All the wet couldn't be doing it good but surely it has to have something to do with the quality of work carried out as well ?? Then what would I know I'm a boilermaker by trade lol

Mackay Regional Council have a tendency to do roadwork's in the wet season... dumb f**ks instead on hooking in on the winter months and getting it done properly. They need to asphalt everything once instead on shitty bitumen repairs 10 times over.

yeah they love doing half-arsed roadworks then scratch their head when the wet season comes wondering why the road doesn't hold together for longer than a week without giant crater-like potholes appearing.. always happened in Mackay lol. Amazing how different the roads are in Townsville compared to here..

Yeah cheers mate ..... Went and got a wheel balance done haha what a drama that turned out to be as it had a lock nut on each rim which I couldn't find the key nut for so me assuming that any wheel and tyre joint would have a grip socket to remove them went down to only find out they didn't and were not willing to remove them with a ordinary socket which I have done tons of time .... So back home I go and 10 minutes later the lock nuts are off haha should have done it myself first time around ! Anyways turns out each wheel was out between 10 - 30 grams lol feels heaps better now !

kool kool. well ill send ya a msg when im heading home and ill chuck em in the back of the ute and head round. ill bring rotors and rear calipers if you want. front sitting on there so they dont leak out.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
