Interesting deposits Dave...did you drain the fuel rail and injectors before you cling wrapped them?

Probably is sugar...

well obviously not :P 4 months it took to get like that...maybe condensation was building up inside cling wrap...not sure... need to do some testing...I have 10lt od e85 here maybe i should put it in random things and let it sit....see what corrodes ;)

Ah well of course it's gonna leave some shit in there then...would dissolve the moment you run more ethanol through it. Though on first start it may make the ethanol a bit crap. That is one reason we say to leave petrol in there to "pickle" the system if you're leaving your car dormant for extended periods of time. But I don't imagine that sugar shit causing any harm anyway.

Quick recommendation on new headlight globes since mine blew last night.

Thinking either OSRAM or Philips Xtreme-vision, but open to suggestions...

I've used Philips and Narva?, much of a muchness i think

Im not too shabby a solderer but circuit boards are so much easier than free hand. Struggletown even doing RS232 with jaycar kits. Smell of cooking skin is stronger than solder

Come solder my lights

I put the xtreme vision in the missus Mazda3.

tested it with a lux meter I downloaded on the phone and saw about a 40% higher lux reading in the same exnvironment.

very noticeable difference when driving in the country as well.

BUT I've run the same in the ute and they do blow more often,

as the saying goes, those the burn twice as bright burn half as long.

Narva plus 120 or Intense if you like white/blue light

But I'm not biased or anything...

Can supply soldering iron and lead-free solder.

cant say id do a very clean/tidy/good job, but will work.

If your bored on the weekend come around!

Otherwise was going to buy a solder on the weekend and fix my front indicator light, as the wiring as torn off

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
