which glass?

anyway -

front/rear screen : cant do anything without pulling the windows

rear 1/4 windows : cant do anything without pulling the windows

outside of door window seal: one screw at the back of the door, easier to remove with the mirrors off from memory

inside window rubbers : remove the garnish between door jam and rear 1/4, then just pop the little plugs out and remove

inside door: pop the plugs at each end then stretch the rubber over the pointy studs that are stuck into the door

So if you wanted to take your car into a windscreen mob, is it an easy job to replace the rear window rubber seals with new ones? My front one is new and looks great but it makes the rear one look like crap.

easy yes (i used BA falcon generic rubber) - but obriens etc dont cover your screen - so if they break it, you gotta pay for a new one

Well that sucks. I'm guessing it's the same deal with the side ones? My car had the weather shields on it when I bought it and when I took them off it made a lot of damage on the rubber, pisses me off every time I look at it (for 5 years now lol).

      S15 Spec R

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      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.
