miiiiiiitch avcr is runnin sweet now its right on the money :-)

Wiiiiiill..... sounds good man, dont think ive been for a ride in your car yet, youll have to take me for a spin, and work something out with those wheels haha :)

I had a rather enlightening morning...went go pick up breakfast this morning from macca's and as per normal there is usually a police car there picking up there morning breakfast as well...in this case there was one and another turned up after i had parked. the two in the store walked out and started talking to the two guys who had just turned up. Anyway while this was happening i got out of my car and went to walk inside when the female police officer looked at me and asked me if that was my skyline, i politely said yes and then she informed me that apparently turbo timers become defects once you have walked away from your car. So you are allowed to stand next to your car while the timer runs out or you must disable it, otherwise you are able to get a defect. anyway staying polite i said i didnt know and ill make sure to stay next to my car next time and thanked her for the advice, and wished her a good day.

did anyone else know this? i thought it was rather a bizarre defect..

Yeah, the police officer is 100% correct. Usually when you buy a turbo timer you research these kind of things. Just take it as a "Learn as you go" kinda thing. You cant know it all, so don't be down on yourself. - Straight from the horses mouth i reckon!

Was the Macca's good? mcdonalds-funny-pic.jpg

Oh....and one more tip...."Drive Thru" - Allot easier and avoids these types of defects. - Just sharing the experience around. Although i had to stop using it when the car was too low...you wont have that problem...sits like a 4x4 :thumbsup:

Hows Noosa looking today? Was thinking about a surf aye....good weather for it?

Yeah I knew bout this one too, it's pretty stupid if you ask me, but that's the rules!!
yeh i never bought my timer it came with the car and i cant edit it with teh controls like you can so i never know how long its going to run for. But i mean how can you hand out a defect for something thats only defectable under certain reasons. It is not like with a bov set to atomspheric you can just plumb back. The only way to fix this defect is to stand next to your car or turn it off. Ah well cheers jase.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
