dad decided to 'check the coolant level' for me before i left for vili's, didnt put the rad cap back on properly, and with the temp gauge reading between 1/2 and 3/4 as normal, i didnt realise the temp increase, got to the nissan dealer just before north adelaide, and smoke and steam started pouring out of the bonnet, and the engine died. cracked head me thinks.

ohh thats some really bad news dave

i dont think that you would be able to crack a head just by leaving the rad cap off

try putting coolant in the rad and start her up and see if there is if the coolant changes colour etc

if it goes murky then you got a head problem

Excellent idea of starting this thread Krishy! Makes it a lot easier for some of us to sort out buying and picking up stuff.

Also for filling out entry forms for shows. Maybe make it a weekly thread and see if Pete remove it say on a tuesday or wednesday?

well the whole idea of this thread was to see who was really heading out last friday night

i am more then happy for the mods to make this the weekend/friday night thread

and i agree with your suggestions as well james....make a thread friday and its deleted by monday/tuesday

that way its all in the one thread and you dont have to go through another 5 threads and make 10 posts to find out whats happening

    • 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.
