hi guys,

i have noticed on my passenger side kick panel 2 large diameter plastic circlips which are about 30mm in diameter, i came across a pic on this forum where it actually holds an orange canister in place...can anyone tell me what this is for?

i wouldn't mind getting 1 of these, probably rendered useless but im the type where i dont like anything missing on my car :)

regards.

It normally holds an emergency flare. I guess the japs use it if you break down in a bad place in the night you set it off and place it on the road a little bit up the road so ppl can slow down.

normally removed as part of the compliance process cos they're illegal here or something. (i.e. fireworks and stuff...)

I had one in my car cos it was complied ages ago or cos they forgot or whatever, but it kept falling out, so it's just sitting in the garage now. probably wont work anyway cos it's like 15 years old...

lol... it holds the emergency flare. When I bought my car, the original flare was still there. It says on it in japanese instructions on how to use the flare and best before 2002. So I put it away and put a torch in those circular clips instead. :-) I was so tempted to try it out..

You want to buy it off me? .. hehehhee

how much :D would i be able to buy this from a wrecker or are they purely illegal to sell?

I had one in my 32 when i came from japan. Said best before date was around 2003.

A mate set it off from a distance to see what would happen and it was pretty dangerous.

For me i would rather not have it in the car at all

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
