I was quite chuffed when they turned up. he's been saying that for weeks and then I get a text msg saying be there in an hour.. the contra deal I like as well. I have to fix a cube for him and tats it. he's got the bits for it..

sold my wheels this afternoon.

will need the funds to fix a few little things around the car

also gotta find out why my brake lights decided to stay on after I turned the car off this afternoon.....

[Watch your backs ladys. Import driving dangerous hoons will no doubt get the blame for the road carnage of the last couple of days.

There will be a crackdown fo sho.

It shits me to tears how the 5-0 are allowed to profile us based on our cars. I drive my car sensibly on the road and it's in great shape mechanically yet I'll get picked on while the flat capper doing 110 through school zones driving a busted falcadore with more problems than k's on the clock will be left alone.

*rant over*

Morning boys and girls, late start at work today makes me happy in my pants!

Morning Mangs,

also gotta find out why my brake lights decided to stay on after I turned the car off this afternoon.....

When mine did that, it was the bit of plastic/rubber on the brake pedal that pushes the brake switch... it had disintegrated, so there was nothing to push on the switch and turn the brake lights off.

rubber stop on the brake pedal is stuffed. had that with a few jap cars now.

Computer just shat its self completely. Going to take it to be looked at on Tuesday (one of the downsides to owning a Mac) but I'm going to guess that it's probably not worth repairing.

Time to start looking for a new system I guess.

Buy parts from Msy/Umart and build it yourself, can get a good Pc for 800 bucks.

hi guys.

The little rubber is between the brake pedal and the brake light switch.

what is the location of said switch?

had a quick look with the car parked in the garage, but couldn't really see much as the car is tiny and I dont manouver well in there

will pull the car out to give me a bit more space and have a look shortly. just packing the kids up for Marisa to take them out for the day. yay, free time!!

At the top of the brake pedal mang

its a bitch to get to

magical

luckily I am small and nimble, so should have no trouble with hard to reach places

the clutch has one as well. a small flat tooped bolt will fix it. both of mine were perished from old age.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
