Ok,

Today in Sydney it is cold and raining . . I get off the bus and go to my car as usual, a young asian girl is stressed crying asking for my help,

Help us please we need to get home but we have flat battery car wont start. . . .

Ok so I position Stag nose to nose, get out jumper leads and connect up. . . . tell them to start. . . they said it wont start. . . so decided to jump in and start it my self. . . . .

Could not farking believe what I saw. . . reason it didn't start. . . bloody thing was in Drive (auto car) . . . losers. . flicked in to park and it started....LOL. . I got soaking wet for stupidity. . .

Spent the drive home pissing myself laughing. . .

lol dude ... should of played your cards right.

leave it in drive, offer her a lift... AYE ! ...

Yeah and ask her to wait whilst I hide the child booster seat and toys. . . LOL. . . . .

Wasn't the "Wet" kinda girl I was hoping for. . .

My uncle used to be an NRMA guy, called to a job with a frantic woman who'd locked keys in her car. Arrived to see the woman very agitated, and wanting to know how long it would take.

Reached in through the OPEN DRIVER'S WINDOW, pulled the keys out of the ignition, placed the keys in the woman's hand. "Shouldn't be too long" he replied, before returning to the van. (So long ago the van was an HQ panelvan)

I think I'd have been laughing so hard I'd have to call someone else to do it.

lol i got called out of work because my wife said the key wouldnt turn in the ignition and she was running late for work. i get home and turned the steering wheel a little and started the car. yes you guess'd it steering lock was on.

Car in "drive" :) ... yep I've encountered that a few times too from people who have no clue!

The better one was a neighbour who couldn't get his car off a trailer. Him and his mate are pushing and pushing to get it off. I couldn't stand it anymore, walked over and started winding back the hitch and cable on the trailer. Yep, it was still hoooked up. :)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
