hey guys

total psyche out on the thread title - but we do have some news to announce

for all that have dealt with us previously, will know that the one thing we have needed for a long time is a new larger workshop

the time has finally come, and we are in the process of moving into our new workshop at the moment

it is only about 5 minutes from where we are at the moment

new address is

unit 2 14 Boothby St, KEDRON QLD 4034

access is via boothby street off gympie road (where motezumas mexican restaurant is for those who know gympie road) and there is also access off gympie road, however there are some nasty speed bumps for our beloved lowered imports

we should be in and full operational again within a fortnight or so - we are still doing minor jobs and msot of the common stuff - engine conversions and rebuilds etc are all being put on hold until we are fully there

we are still down here at aspley also for the meantime, but will be 100% out of here by the end of the month 1st of next month

please forgive us for any panic and mayhem and miscommunications created whilst the move is happening - i will be trying to my best to stay in touch with the phones and handling the managerial side of things during the move

we will also be having a nice big dyno day opening etc ect etc shortly once everything is settled in

emails remain the same aswell as SAU access

we will be getting new phone numbers etc and i will post them up once received - however our current number will be automatically redirected for 12 months to try save some confusion

thats about it for now guys, keep posted for the grand opening and look forward to seeing all you guys there in the near future :w00t::D:D:D

josh not everyone had lexus's with insane suspension like yours

yea the new palce has about 12-15 deidcated car parks for ourselves and plenty more if we wanna get cheeky :P

it was no secret the old place wasnt ideal - we started there thinking it would be a good place to get up and running for the first year or so but found that we outgrew the place in about 6-7 months

company cars are being sold off for some bigger and better projects :spank: as a workshop gotta stay fresh in this game to keep people going WOW!! and the 34 is for sale on here somewhere (or was but mods kept deleting it because we are a business even though the sale is a private sale for the owner)... it does have to go ASAP but no bites as yet

recently put out 400hp on minimal boost too :P:O:O

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
