Hmmmm thats weird because we were asked last week to organise a cruise by the owner of nando's for this Anzac day .... with approval from centre management (the owner of nandos drives a RX7 series 8) :

lol good luck on the cruise :) we did a small cruise anzac day last yr. didnt see a single cop the whole drive but forgot to plan ahead...and got stuck at 3 lots of anzac parades.

most of which we found our way around. 1 we had to wait out (not too bad). but having said that we only had 7 cars

*carseldine was fine on thursday night...other than it being the start of the uber long weekend and very little parking to be found anywhere. (didnt head underneath). and it took me almost 10 mins to get off the road and into a park

^^^ yeah cheers, fingers crossed should be a good night....!

SAU guys are also welcome obviously! (i'll be taking my skyline to the cruise)....

Its usually the bonnet release lever that snaps off the fuse box. Is the fuse box where the bonnet release mounts to it damaged at all? Its a common problem with BA/BF falcons for them to snap. I have changed a few of the bonnet releases over. You need to change the whole cable over with it. Absolute prick of a job to do.

Yep the latch has snapped off the fuse box, looks like the mounts are destroyed as well. A friend of mine took his to ford and got it replaced under warranty, they pulled the entire fuse box out and swapped it with one that had metal on the bonnet release instead of plastic like mine.

Do you know if I would be able to get a bf fuse box and swap em over easily or is it a bitch of a job?

Fuse box is pretty easy to do from what i remember. The only pain in the arse bit is getting the wire bit of the bonnet release to pull through. When removing it you will need to drop the wheel arch liner out makes the job a bit easier. If you have mud flaps you will have great troubles getting the clips out. You shouldn't have any troubles getting a fusebox. I am not 100% sure but i think BA/BF fuse boxes are the same

Anzac day woollies is closed... so i wouldn't imagine a problem...

I'm doing up a pro/con list of FF vs FR. Anyone care to contribute? If I do it on my own I might be subconciously too bias.

What do you want to know?

What point of view are you looking at the question from? Driver? Manufacturer? Mechanical issues/reliability? Why no AWD being considered?

For example, a major pro of FF cars is the lower cost of production. This isn't much of a bonus to a driver however (unless you count purchase price into the enjoyment factor.)

In the end it comes down to your traction circle and the physical limits you can take your friction surfaces to (tyres).

Carroll Smith Has a fairly good entry level explanation of this in one of his books, tune to win I think is the one.

Dubstep fiends - about a year ago when I played CSS alot, there was a song that would come on and it had a part of summer heights high in it - "how is it ok for you to bully ben?" any ideas on song name?

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
