rear pads in, hopefully gotten rid of the wear issue i have been having, right hand pins/sliders were seized, so relubed that up and seems to be working better now. could actually slide by hand when i was done.

Got the HDI FMIC on yesterday, not too bad. I need to sort some broken/ missing/ torn out undertray bolts asap. I have the NUR catback exhaust and Scotty's dump and front pipe on it already. I think the next thing is Dales induction tube and a high flow turbo. But which one ? What I want is a quick road car not a race car I can nurse around the street, and the numbers are less important than the feel and driveability. But I'd love to try before I buy. :unsure:

I have the kits that Commsman uses to tweak the computer but haven't had a chance to solder them up. (Before anyone jumps on this I have been working overseas from 2/12/12 till yesterday.) (And I have not had the car tuned yet. :yucky: )

Hi Leigh. Give me a while & I may have a hi-flow you can try. But I wouldn't rush to change the standard turbo out, unless it's had it.

+1 with Leaon about the turbo.

If you do the Banjo mod and keep good oil in your car the stock turbo can perform very well and is hard to beat for off the line drivability.

OK Thanks for the offer Leon and all the great help, assistance and advice you have given me so far. I love my sound system/media system. The cruise is absolutely necessary and even the wheel switches started lighting up since we did the slimline fan in the FMIC install! Go figure! :wacko: As it gets quicker it gets harder to set the cruise to avoid it hunting but that's expected at some level as the turbo spools. Just went down town through a 50 zone and watched the car burble up a rise at 900 rpm/50 kph in top gear! Gotta love that... When I said that I wanted to try before I buy ... I meant experience what other turbos respond like, not necessarily from a drivers seat. A seat of pants from a back seat where I can see the rpm, roadspeed and feel the response should give me a clear idea if it is too laggy for my taste. This car will never be raced, if it does go down a drag strip that will be the exception rather than the rule. The problem is trying to find the balance between driveability and power. As I do not want an extreme car some of the more prominent peoples experience is irrelevant. It is probably true that the people I really want to connect to do not post overly much. So if you are out there and have a moderate highflow and induction solution with great driveability and reasonable performance at a realistic price please respond! My standard turbo is OK atm so I am not under any pressure at this time. :closedeyes:

i'm pretty sure someone is rebuilding the turbo basically to stock spec's might have to ask Jet_Wreck about it.........

That's where you drill out the turbo oil feed line at the banjo bolt. It is a really small hole that can get blocked by grunge, especially if service intervals were 'stretched' when back in the mother land.

It is widely believed that Aaron's turbo failed due to this oil line being blocked.

Looks like he thinks Craig's advice is irrelevant, it's the reason I never posted a response anyway.

Replaced my broken cibie light glass.

Cleaned up ok Josh?

Looks like he wants something he can drop in without tuning etc, and doesn't want the power some guys are making. I get that.

I don't think Craigs' recent thoughts are common knowledge, ie he wouldn't know if irrelevant or not. And, as it turns out, is very relevant.

      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?
