a while back i ass ended a holden with a tow bar in my old 626 which dinted in the front-middle of my car in about a foot and bent my radiator nearly right angles. so we drove her to the nearest stable looking tree and tied her to it, wacked it in reverse and wallah. threw the bumper in the boot, disconnect the rad fan.

$30 for a bumper from the wreckers and 20 000km later and still goin strong.

not that dodgy but i got the new grill just hours before leaving for autosalon. since i didn't have time to make brackets and look for new screws the bonnet is holding the grill in place. chances are ill probably leave it like this.

was going on a cruise, suddenly on the way i hit some animal and my front bar was literally 'falling apart bit by bit'. had no choice but to use something to stick the main joints together. too far away to convenience store to buy duct stape or cable-ties etc, so me and my mate took turns chewing up 2 packets of wigleys chewing gum that we had bought days ago, we then used that to stick back the main joints (of course some screws held it together too) but it worked. funny enough, after a while the chewing gum gets really hard and actually holds the car together well.

and for those wondering, 'no' - i don't still have gum on my car. ha ha ah

funny thread and posts.

Went to a mates house in woodridge in the afternoon in my sisters car, went to come home at night and notice the low beams in the car had blown, one of them was already blown, had to get back to the goldie for work, so i put tin foil under the headlight covers and drove home with the lights on high beam with just a small section of light shining thru. Also the usual cable ties and ducktape on front bar, pod filter etc

another dodgy moment i had a flat and the spare wheel i had was not the right off set and was hitting the front brake caliper....... i had 4 washers handy which i used as a spacer.......the steering was wobbling bad and felt quite dodgy haha

On my old civic I needed a longer intake pipe and adaptor for the pod so I cut a 600ml coke bottle to size and that fit perfectly into the stock intake pipe and the pod. Held in place perfectly and also gave awesome deep intake sound. After that my friends started to call my house ‘ghetto mods performance centre’. Lol.

After the 4age (legendary corolla engine) spat a rod, I bought a 7afe (different head, taller block, same bore) for $200 from a wreckers. ripped out the 4age and box, split them joined the 7afe and box and put them back in. Fart arsed around trying to get the eletrics hooked up, gave up, ripped the 7afe head off put the 4age head on, despite the fact that one of the cam bearings was totally rooted, oh yeah, re-used the head bolts LOL, that was 40,000 Ks ago...still going strong, touch wood. Its really funny most of the mechanics I talked to were like "It can't be done" "That's a waste of a head gasket" LOL

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
