i havnt had an engine light on the F-CON since i cleared up my water damage in my harness.

clear dash except the airbag one :verymad:

No engine light since resetting mine, I have done over 1000ks now. :)

thanks for the offer Russell but I'll see how it goes for now haven't had any drama's yet and I've put my old afm back in.

the problem with Scotty's afm is I'll need to get a retune anyways :( or put a resistor on it to get the correct values like the stock one.

Why haven't you gone to a MAP sensor tune yet?

on the upside of my RX7 woes I think I've blown the front drivers side wheel bearing on the Stagea again LOL

haven't even bothered with my F-Con problems either :(

well I had a metal to metal scraping noise coming from the passengers side front wheel checked the brake out a few times and didn't seem to be rubbing so I replaced the wheel bearing only to find the noise was still there afterwards......... hhmmm wonder if its a CV ??? :(

Okay i have a strange metal on metal scrapping noise its been driving me mad for a few months coming from the front passengers side.

firstly it does it mainly when coasting along as soon as you hit the throttle even a little bit it stops, and doesnt really make a difference if its loaded or unloaded.

so far I've checked the brakes, even went as far as pulling them off to inspect them. (sounded like a stone could've been stuck in it but wasn't) BTW i checked this multipul times.

then i bit the bullet and replaced the wheel bearing as its probably copped a hiding especially on the ripple strips at the track but the noise was still there.

next i thought I'd get the disc machined just in case, no difference.

still looking i thought the only other thing it could be would be the CV / drive shaft so i replaced that as well with no avail.

got to thinking maybe the front diff was on the way out and transmitting the noise out onto the wheel so i drained the fluid and everything looked pretty typical no major metal fillings and the fluid looked pretty clean.

so just incase its got anything to do with the gearbox I'm currently replacing the fluid in that as well ( doesn't go astray as its probably been 4 years since it was changed and i mainly drive in manual mode)

now I'm out of idea's and its driving me mad!!!

maybe the new wheel bearing was pressed in badly i dunno but it made the same sound minutes after it was changed from the old one.......


please i need your help before i go nuts!!!

You tried putting it up on stands and hunting out where the noise is coming from?

My first thoughts was disc rubbing on stone shield or even the bottom hub alloy thing.

I know my GTR discs rubbed on them before I adjusted them...

It's been ages since I've posted here just over 110,000km and still going strong!!!

only thing that needs doing atm is regas the rear struts for the tailgate, it's one of those things PITA to organize and have time to get it done HAHA or I'm just to lazy and have better things to do with my spare time

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
