Today first day on holidays so before washing my car had the idea to make my washing bucket more efficient so ... that's what I came with...

I used:

Plastic milk crate...........1

Plastic Bucket.................1

Texter................................1

Jigsaw .............................1

Cut out the bottom of the Milk crate just around the square edge with the jigsaw,then using the texter mark a circle using the bottom of the plastic bucket as a guide.

Cut the plastic of the milk crate a couple of mm. inside the guide line and clean up any plastic bur made by the jigsaw (you don't want pieces of plastic floating in the water).

Insert the plastic circle into the bucket and you are done ...you have a bucket where to rinse a mit and all the dirt will sit on the bottom...

Simple but works...

A Very Good Idea Buddy.

a little time to save heap of time polishing.

Pat yourself on the back.

may be simple but improved upon .

Need 2 buckets,you cut a section out of 1 that will slip inside the other, depth is up to you.

you then throw/cover this with fly screen and insert into other bucket, screen side first.

It simply jams itself in place.

only reason is less surface area for grit to sit on so it falls threw, in theory.

This is a modified version of a filter I made for sand blasting, bigger foreign pieces block pick up.

I've even filtered bulk Rd marking paint with this, removed dry skin off top.

next time you replace a fly screen keep a piece, or cheap at Bunnings by the mtr.

It reminded me of the filter I already have and can modify.

don't let anyone laugh at the lengths you go to, to look after your drive.

Good one Tango.

Just made new bucket setup with flyscreen false bottom.

Had 20 Lt, and 15 Lt, cut the 15 Lt fitted this into larger one, looks good, false bottom about +100mm. given it a go shortly, my GTR need a wash.

Especially as it's not long been polished so I certainly don't want to scratch it.

Tango your the man.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
