nice work mate, veryvery well done. i noticed your carbon canister lines have been 'chopped'. why don tyou have one of those? its the two lines that you have put the screws in...

Photo was taken when we chopped the paint tin size carbon canister out, I have since purchased a standard size carbon canister and put it back in.

So what was coated for the $210 ?

just plenum and piping? or the engine covers as well ?

plenum, intercooler piping, cam coveres, strut brace mounts, radiator mounts. I chose 2 different colours (the silver and dark blue) which made it more expensive (Min charge of $50 per new colour). If you want all the one colour it will prob. be a bit cheaper. Powdercoating is very cheap if you go to the right place.

I am not that happy with the colours, the cam covers turned out a lot bluer than I wanted, I was after a gun metal grey look but had to re-choose the colours I had chosen because I chose the only range that they did not have in stock.

Forgot to add that the pearl flakes etc cost a little bit extra with the powdercoating.

Ah yeh woops sorry. I see the braided lines now. I think I might have been looking at a different pic.... possibly this one: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Pu...80&start=80

But yeah, my question still stands... regarding the tube from radiator-to-coolant bottle and the tubes which "look-like" they are attached to his power steering fluid reservoir.

The only reason i sound like a broken record asking the same stuff over and over again...is because i've been getting mixed answers from a few people (I'm a total amateur when it comes to stuff under the hood). So sorry for that.

I did notice a weird thing though... I replaced one hose which was for air/vaccum (it was previously disconnected anyway, it had worn out and broken off from where it was attached) and my Boost guage needle started flickering? previously it had just been lying still at the bottom when the car was turned on. Not sure if this is normal.

to help you out a little..

i have used a cheap rubber "dress up" hose from my radiator tro overflow bottle for a long time and also for my breather pipes.. its had no dramas. its not silicon and is very flimsy but has held up for a few years now.

proper silicon hoses can be used for coolant lines to a bleed bottle etc.. aslong as they are clamped good. they are usually 3mm thick and being silicon they are very heat resistent.

    • 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.
