there will be a post lol

maybe ill ebay it. not sure yet!

is it just me or after the shift kit install, the transmission appears to 'slip' less even on take off? im guessing this may assist with fuel economy

Spot on Iain, I'm sure I can feel the same thing.

Dunno about the economy; I'm still not bored with the punch it delivers, maybe next year.

Changed the gearbox yesterday.......but it seems that my timing gremlin has returned!!!!!.... F#<king Car starts and idles but won't rev past 2k without stalling with backfire.

Gearbox did work well for the one drive it worked for.

Edited by Jetwreck

you have to admit it sounds good when it backfires. like a rally car! lol

its probably a wiring issue, the other engine loom is at my place, i rekon we cut off the rear section as it goes to the gearbox, and put the old one on there.

i just had a thought, check the plugs to make sure the pins arent being pushed out of the plus when they are connected.

if we had a working torch we might have seen something that wasnt right

Slow down grasshopper. With the option you are looking at, there is absolutely no need nor reason for "awesome"

How are things progressing with your FCon Cam? Have you had a tune done or is it just inline running a base map?

True, but that isn't going as well as I'd like, so easy solutions are always good. Never mind, I'll be patient!

It was running a slightly modified base map, response was impressive but the economy was not so desirable.

Needs a tune, soon... :ph34r:

Cool; I'll be interested to see how it goes, you've got all the supporting mods to make the most of it.:thumbsup:

Made plans to start a big couple of weekends this weekend...

Plan is to fit coilovers and possibly brakes before heading to the local brewery for the AFL Grand Final.

Then Sunday/Monday fit brakes if necessary and the HDi Intercooler (assuming it arrives in time).

Haven't even fit everything that's sitting in the shed and I'm already planning the next major project: speakers!

As of the weekend the speakers on the left hand side seem to be shot, with some kind of weird hissing going on. So I've started searching around for some audio info, and there's a surprising amount on the M35 audio here.

Thinking 6.5 splits in the front, 6" 2 ways in the back, 4ch amp and possibly a sub under the rear floor.

I now have SA rego. Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. Time to figure out how to get a refund from RTA Victoria.

I was thinking you could fit a sub behind the rear left "wall". Don't get me wrong, I know stuff all about this stereo gear, but it would be nice to hide the sub.

I couldn't work out NSW, never bothered.

I was thinking something like this for the sub: http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/products/25/131/201/TS-WX610A/index.html

That way it's all hidden and I still have my boot! :thumbsup:

That's a similar solution to the OEM BOSE sub; not terribly priced either, once you take into account amp is included, and no need to build an enclosure.

I was really keen on that sort of solution but warned away from them pretty quickly - apparently they provide very little bass. Anyone with the stock Bose unit care to comment?

i found them to but yeah heard they are pretty shite, i also looked at this

http://www.pioneer.com.au/au/products/25/131/201/TS-WX77A/index.html

but apparently they're not much chop in something as big as a wagon for good sound, alrite in utes and stuff or if not really planning on playing loud/ want good quality

and they are too long to fit across the back of the 60 split rear seat :(

Hmmm, my LOLvo mysteriously just died on the way home from a friend's on Saturday night. Coudln't get a flatbed tow truck on short notice (around 9.15pm on a wet night, so retards who can't drive were having accidents because some water fell from the sky :mad::domokun: ), so I ended up flat-towing it back to my friend's.

Anyway, Sunday come around and my mate goes to check the car - it starts and runs. He organises a towie through a mate, and when the truck gets there it runs again and he dirves it onto the truck. Car arrives at my place, and I then proceed to drive it off the truck and into the garage. Tried it again in the arvo today, and it started and ran again. Weird... :blink: :blink: :mellow:

Tomorrow the old man and I will try and figure out if it will start again, and see if we can source the problem. Regardless, I'm gonna be paranoid to drive it on the cruise on Sunday in case it breaks down a long way from home. :(

Has anyone pulled up parts 84907 and 84906P before? Click for image.

Think there would be enough room to fit a sub like this under there?

The thread I was looking at yesterday said there was a cross brace in the way, but it could be possible?

Apparently the Bose amps fit under the toolkit, so I'm hoping normal aftermarket ones do too.

    • 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.
