Stuart, more rice for the whale! Need an idea on where to fit the sender though. Thoughts?

:D

nothing rice about using good quality American gauges.

I fail to see why a gauge requires the need for an "opening and closing ceremony"....its not the bloody olympics!

the thermostat housing is on the side of engine underneith intake manifold, so it wont be going there, besides it has to go before the thermostat, not after. id say just swap it out with standard guage sender, as it would be gay to run two temp guages, full auto salon temp tacho style.

Top Hose with one of those adapter thingos......or just tap the thermostat housing

No updates in more than a month. Goes in for a tune on Saturday and will post results.

Dropped the oil filters yesterday and found stuff-all of any interest. That was pretty positive. Also discovered the best thing NOT to wear when working on a car is jewelery/watch.

I had the fuse cover off the fuse/relay box on the driver's side and was tightening the main oil filter line up when my watch touched both the positive terminal on the battery and the throttle body. Trouble was, my hand was stuck (I had put some effort into wedging it in there to get to the fittings) and it took several goes and lots of swearing to get it out. All the while big sparks were flying and my arm was burning.

I tore my watch off only to realise that the back of it was burning my other hand so i threw it on the ground and went to run cold water on my wrist. It looked okay till about 20 mins later.

You need to get onto him and chase it, mate. I'm happy to pick it up and send it up to you though.

The boss bought some tyres from Ozzy (that your mate referred him to) so there was no money to be made on them. :(

Even worse, they didn't fit on the front end so he bought two sets! :)

      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

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      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?
