hey, people are going to think you mean me.....we must be clear that Adrian was responcible for the bodgy stuff.

Yes. Make that very clear. My car is a balance of excellent (Stu) and bodgy-as-all-fark (Me). The latter is constantly being corrected and turned into the former.

you go alright for a pencil pusher. you should see my brother inlaw hold a tool.

i only got nervous when you were using drills and stuff.

It has been funny as hell. I started off with spanners and progressed to ratchets (I'm only allowed the quarter drive because I snap stuff) and then I moved on to drills and other power/air tools.

You should've seen the look on Stu's face when I walked past him holding the air hacksaw!!!! HAahahahahah!!!!

Went for a drive yesterday to clean the tune up a bit so that it's driveable and not emptying the fuel tank at idle. Ended up throwing out a set of brand new plugs as the base map is so rich they fouled and wouldn't clean up no matter what we did. Put a new set in ($18 for all six :P) and with the changes to the fuel map it idled beautifully. Return to idle was a problem though and so with some more tweaks to the decel/overrun settings, it finally stopped stalling on the back-off and now returns to idle as it should.

Big thank you to my mate Kon for his help and use of his laptop and skills. I'll put some kays on it and then take it to the dyno as soon as time permits.

Also, took my rego label into the workshop to apply to the windscreen before driving it for any distance and laughed when i saw the date - October 13. $1100 to register it for a total of 6 weeks potential driving. Ouch!

Not yet, mate. Still a couple of little things to do and I've been on a big deadline with work for the last couple of weeks so no time to get them done. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll be on the dyno and then the track. Cross your fingers for me.

yeh, actaually -12 fittings, but you get the idea. pickup is welded to the bottom of the sump and piped internally to the fitting. plumbed from there through the pre filter, then pump, then inline filter then into the block where the standard filter usually goes.

so with the oil pump setup, im asuming the -10 on the front of the oil pan is conected to the oil pickup in the sump?

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
