Hi Everyone,

Yep been a long time I know but hey im a busy girl!

Just found out Lauren and Paul are engaged, congradualtions! Found out through the old grapevine, thought gez I havent stuck my head in here in about 12 months or so, thought id make sure everyones well and behaving themselves!

Anyhow... Im very well, working very hard now in realestate (yeah i know i was studying teaching, still am but slowly at the moment) and have 2 other jobs too. You guys would be proud, i have finally bought a car... Its a classic and im restoring it (getting my hands dirty and doing it myself too... loving it), going to look mint! Will be a real head turner, well it is at the moment but possably for the wrong reasons.

So, wanted to say hello to all the oldies on here, dan, lauren and paul, liz and dan, Micko, Joe, and all the rest.

xxx Kylie

1972 VW Beetle, Yellow. Ive wanted a yellow VW bettle since i was err 5. We are currently experiencing a few problems, What fun i had when it set on fire! Its prob louder than what troys skyline used to be, pretty much missing an exaust, had a little bingle on the front, fixing it myself, im quite the pannel beater!, havn't had to do much to the engine (its in pretty good condition for its age), do have plans to put a porche one in though eventually, getting it resprayed shortly, and slowly doing up the interior bit by bit. Great things about classic cars is they are simple, and most the stuff you can do yourself. But its quite funny when your driving along and things just "fall off"

Hmm as long as its not a wheel or something i could see the humor. I had the same sense of humor with my c210, i look back more kindly on that then i did at the time though.

It has been a while indeed. Good pick on the beetle i love those little things though you are getting dangerously close to being part of our arch nemises the WRX crowd ;P

Realestate is indeed the place to be right now maybe you could find me something thats under 400k and not a 2x1 tin shed in kalgoorlie :(

Booster, you could get a villa in Mansell st in morley that is a very smart buy at the moment for $380. At the street behind there is a block of apartments going up and a cafe strip proposed, meaning the price mansell st will skyrocket. Its a 3x2. If you put offer in for 370 i think she would take it. No strata fees their either. Let me know.

nahh cant do the NOR stuff. has to be SOR and not past south st. Free standing would be ideal. Good tip though.

buying area for shaun

Im kinda holding out for a while to see if the default rate increases and i can get a bargain some place. Prolly get a dump on a big block so i can mess with it. Im pretty keen on girders and the consequent wall destryoing they can provide. Problem is id blow 50k on a kitchen pretty easy :(

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
