Had this sent to me a s an email:

I have been driving (legally) for over a decade. One would think I would have noticed the little secret on my dash that was staring me right in the face

The whole time.

I got this on email too.

I've got an AW11 MR2 (fuel filler on the passenger side), and the picture of the petrol bowser has the handle on the right side. So both pictures on the MR2 dash and Stagea dash the same, even though fuel tank on opposite sides!!

So IMO its not true.....

My dad told me about this when I was a kid and over the years I've found it to be true on about 85% of cars so far.. so pretty handy if you're in a mates car and need to fill up without looking like an r-tard. Or just do the pop it open and look in the mirrors!

so what about old falcons and the such that fill under the rear badge or license plate? hmmn.....

today a bloke told me that it is the way the bowser filler tip is pointing weather it's hanig up or out. and for a while this was checking out as correct 300zx, falcon, hiace. but i just looked at my silvia and a commodore and thats false i think its just however the manafacture wants to put the blasted thing

myth.......

Yeah gotta love the old falcons - park any side you want. Makes for a nice clean finish on the body panels too! But yeah just pop it and look in ur rear view mirrors.

I hear stageas use enough fuel you should never be able to forget what side its on!

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!

      Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed

      the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
