It's all about undoing the 4 bolts for the g'box crossmember & lowering that down to allow the engine to tilt back on the mounts. This gives enough room to get to the O2 sensor & top bolt/s. You may also want to drop off some of the shrouds further down the exhaust. This is why I raise the back of the car as well, otherwise ramps would be all you need. Your mechanic will have it done in no time on a hoist. But tell him to leave the bonnett up when he puts it on the hoist, just in case the engine hits.

I vented my bonnet yesterday!

Seems to be doing the job......f#$k it lets(pumps) some heat out! When the thermo's come one I get that weird heat haze concentrated in one area. I'll post a pic of the top once I get the edging on.

my mates with evos have the same thing

DO NOT lean on the mesh! or you will end up with char-grilled patterns on your hand, though on evo's the vents are directly above the tubro

^^^ like!

Also like that it means your leg must be at the stage where your confident in driving a manual!

Yeah all progressing nicely, been driving now since July last year. Right knee is holding up, still gots a long ways to go tho. My PT is great as he's had a knee reco himself, so he knows the limitations when training.

Decided now that I got some extra cash and the time to take the car off the road to get some thing happening. Need to get new guages to monitor vitals, also check my ecu as to wether I can send it away for the nistune mod.

Picked up an m35 nm35 pnm35 oil sump pan from Nissan. Sorry just being obvious for the search function.

It's the bottom black thingo, so if you dent it, you can replace with

Part number 11110-AL810

I modified mine for an oil return, so when we took the turbo off, we placed with with a beaten out one until I could get a new one.

List price is $170 plus gst. Maybe a little cheaper.

Why did you put the hole there Craig? Is that really the hottest area? Or you just picked somewhere easy?

I was always hoping to get the Masa bonnet eventually...

So I finally moved the stepper motor for the boost controller, cut almost half a metre out of the hose to the actuator, which was good. Others are *slightly* longer, so I'll test it tomorrow.

Because the back of my bonnet is already raised to get the air out. Also that is the area that most of the air get stuck in...I was finding the thermos could cool but because our bonnet is so low the air was still getting stuck in the front area. If a sidewinder is ever shot at my car now I know where it's heading. Those masa bonnets are nice but I cannot justify $1k ATM when I have other needs/wAnts.

I thought you proved that raising the rear of the bonnet did more harm than good, or Scott told me you did..

Great job but not entirely convinced it's in the correct area of the bonnet. I reckon positioned a bit more on the passenger side and higher would have it quite effective with heat extraction from the turbo area.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
