please. all that eeepc is gonna see is korean porn, we all know that.

oh yeah, plane only has 1 p in it. :)

After getting my tax return, I am either thinking of saving it for my trip to Japan next year, or to put it towards a 52mm Alloy Radiator and a Oil Cooler and Relocation Kit. What would people suggest I do? If I go with the "Upgrades" I am thinking an ISC 52mm Radiator, but not too sure on a good Oil Cooler & Relocation Kit, don't want to spend much more then $350 on the Oil Kit.

but not too sure on a good Oil Cooler & Relocation Kit, don't want to spend much more then $350 on the Oil Kit.

abe, youll spend close to half that on a decent oil cooler core by itself. mine was $180 (discounted cause i bought fittings, lines and blocks at the same time) from memory. and oil cooler kits arent something youd wanna cheap out on anyways.

My tax return is going towards a TIG welder. :domokun:

My oil cooler ended up costing around the $500 but the time i bought all the fittings and hose. The cooler was only $130 and the remote brackets i made on the CNC, so that gives you and indication.

On Flea-Bay, you can get kits for about the $350 mark, how good they are, I am not sure, but I am willing to spend a bit more if I am going to gain something out of it, either being Performance, Reliability, or Quality.

These 2 things are very important, dont skimp just to save a few dollars. Speak to Todd at Outlaw in the city, he will sort you out with a very good quality kit like this one.

well the 90deg joiners are $50 each, hose is $20 a metre, straight joins are $25 each, core i got from justjap for $120ish, then the plates are around $60 each.

i had a cheap one, snapped fittings and was just shit..

so i paid 300 for the cheap one then another 400-500 for the outlaw one..

DO IT RIGHT DO IT ONCE

ive got a couple 90's, a couple 45's, a couple 45 barbs, and a bunch of straight barbs, and i dont recall paying $50 for any of those by themselves.

    • 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.
