alex, maybe dale can turn something on a lathe for you?

Good idea. I hear Dale's doing nothing these days anyway...

Lol, I'm a freaking bludger; all I do is sleep & whinge... :yucky:

We can have a look on Saturday mate, we just need to find how much room is needed from the back of the aperture.

Might be able to knock up a trial & see what works. :thumbsup:

yeah dale doesnt do anything except fabricate stuff for stagea people. isnt that his fulltime job??

Lol, AND I've been working for my Ceramic Coating mate in his workshop doing some performance fabrication; currently stuffing a 4AGE Turbo into a KE10 Corolla, and just about to start a 20 valve into a Sunbeam Alpine...

The Corolla is nearly finished; most of what I've been doing is modifying pipework to run a full plumb back blowoff valve setup (engineering requirement), and mounting an airbox under the passengers side front guard; as there's no room in the engine bay for anything at all.

Some pics of the KE10;

Lol, tonnes of room to the brake master. Hope the engine mounts are stiff!

Would be fun. What's the chassis like in those, stiff or soggy?

Yeah, I know; I wasn't involved at that stage, but it has very stiff engine mounts, they're based on a 4WD leaf spring shackle bush in a custom mount.

The front has been modified from a transverse leaf spring :blink: , to coilover struts with big brakes, and BIG swaybars front & rear; but I don't plan to go anywhere near it when it's finished.

It's going to be deadly.

Nice. :)

I fit a 1J into a T18 Corrolla for a mate a couple of months ago. No engineers cert required for that over here apparently. lol.

The T18 was a pretty ordinary handling car from the get go; must be a bit of work to make one go 'round a corner with a 1J...

I do like the way they sound though.

1J's that is... :whistling:

So less than 24 hours after getting the new wheels on, actually did some impromptu tarmac rallying...

Coming along a suburban street at night, in the dark, doing the posted limit (60), and all of a sudden the car hit a dip and got what felt like pretty serious air - felt like it cleared the second dip, and landed down on an angle, drivers side first. Classic rally style.

Wish there was photographer!

Car looks fine, no obvious damage. Woman and I were ok, I just had a headache from where my head hit the roof pretty hard.

Turned around to see why there wasn't a sign warning of the dip to see there was, but the council hadn't pruned the tree in front of it, and the sign was completely obscured when approaching from the direction I was approaching from. Other direction is fine, both signs are clear and obvious.

Will try to get it up on the hoist next weekend and have a proper look, but it feels and looks fine, so I'm hoping it hasn't done any damage to anything I can't see.

Far out! hope everything is good.

Anyone watching the streams of the LeMans 24hrs? shattered the deltawing got put out early. Never was competitive, but would have been good to watch it go round.

The sideswipe that put delta wing out was interesting. As was Anthony Davidsons back breaking crash. Poor guy.

What stream are you watching Alex?

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
