In news today, offically have been promoted at work to head lotus tech/senior technician, also been given a payrise.

Well done mang.

If you're allowed to say, what company do you work for?

Work for Euromarque Brisbane, have done for 6 years now.

Martin bit of a tough one there, Team Lotus or Lotus-Renault. I do prefer the Lotus-Renault for the traditional JPS colour scheme, will be a good year though for them, massive factory upgrade, new importer into the country (don't have to deal with proton anymore) and new models coming out, looks like i'll be a little busy.

Congrats.

Hahah yer scott i couldn't resist! i thought you would have been freaked out a little.

Pretty sure the brumby has broken something in the box, when you accelerate it sounds like a clicking CV, when cruising along it makes the same noise / bearing noise also but that all goes when you push the clutch in and coast along. So im thinking i'll get a good condition gearbox and a new clutch to throw in, i'll also replace the CV boots and inspect them for wear. Thoughts?

Yeah, had me wondering what was going on! A second hand box and clutch will cost you a lot less than a hilux or a WRX......The Brumby should keep on truckin' on when you have sorted.

Started off wiping/cleaning/polishing peoples tools and now he's been promoted to a glorified Coffee boy... :nyaanyaa:

BTW, which coffee shop do you go to??

/\ AND this.

Glad that's sorted :D

McFly, all the fiddly bits are done on youe ECU now. Just need t ofit the chip socket and we're away!

I did find a 5 speed conversion on ebay, complete with tail shaft and rear diff for $595.... thinking i might go that way with it.

damn right!

hey jon you've got mates in the wrecking business, i need a dual range 4 speed gearbox for a 1991 subaru brumby. How much you think that would go for?

cant remember seeing 1 in wreckers for while but ill ask a mate of mine, his family repairs/builds subarus for a living mainly wrx's etc, he has a 2dr sti wrx and a brumby with twincam turbo motor.

worth a shot, has alot of old shitas laying around...

jon.

yer 4 speed with a hi/lo ratio is the normal thing for them, if you can find a 5 speed box i would need the gearbox, rear diff and tailshaft.

hurry up dent repair man, i have sleep to catch up on...

damn these 5am starts...

sick as a dog too... why is it so hard to get the good shit at the chemist these days...

i wasted $16 on some bullshit cold and flu yesterday and its done nothing, give me the farkin good stuff...

im not going to turn it into speed, i just want it cause it works...

i should take back the other shit and make them refund it, its shit...

Morning Mangs,

Road the bike into work. Didn't appear to take any less time but I did enjoy going to the front of the lights every time :thumbsup: So where is lazserhunt this week?

    • This. The R34 handbrake icon DOES come up when the brake fluid level is low. You might be sitting right on that threshhold. I have been down this diagnosis path and this was the solution (and it was pretty much as full as your picture is to begin with).
    • Unfortunately the cavaet to that is that while any scan tool should be able to read the code, the workshop will need a consult plug to OBD socket adapter. You don't have a location on your profile, where are you based?
    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.
