Hi guys got a bit of an emergency here, i have a r32 gts-t/rb20det and i have just blown out one of my rear heater hoses, I managed to get the car home and have had a look but i have no tools or a replacement hose, i was wondering if anyone on the northside(I'm in daveron park) is able to come around with a replacement hose and some tools to help me get this sorted as i have to use the car to pick our 2 kids up from school at 3pm. I can be pm'ed on the forum or text messaged on 0403606243(phone only texts no calls recieving on phone) anyone able to help would be much appreciated can throw you $20 and 6pack for the trouble if able to help.

Cheers Steve.

Steve, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the odds of someone right now sitting at home with nothing better to do, and has an RB20 rear heater hose, and can get to you and fix it for $20 plus a six pack (which I am sure wouldn't even buy you the hose itself), all within the next 2 hours is worse than one in a billion. If I were you, I would be making other plans.

The good news is, that if you can find some copper pipe about the same diameter as the inside of your heater hose, pull the other one off the heater hose off the heater core at the firewall, and join them together with the copper pipe and some clamps. I ran around 'fixed' like that in my R34 for months a few years back. You lose your car heater, but at least the car will be usable.

    • 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.
