okay, got the car back last tuesday, mechanic pulled the timing down and got it to run rich so its a flamin mongrel at cold starts, and is slow as all hell and made me put around the area in it.
over the 350odd km ive done over the week, driving to maccas and trying to pickup barely legal bitches from epping plaza,

it has,
developed a small waterleak
started leaking from the rear turbo drain
shredded a power steering belt for absolutely no f**king reason lol

just dropped it off to the mechanics for a bit and well see how we go with more timing n leaks fixed :)

Haha thanks man, when you're at the bottom the only way out is up! Drove the car to SYDNEY, from Melbourne. Got there, no issues. Got back home last night, no issues. Like a f**king champion

the mechanic i had put it all together had dropped a nut into the intake, obviously being rubber it wouldnt have made a noise so he didnt notice it.
the nut was small enough to slowly shred up the blade over time.
had i not decided to check the afms id have never seen it, and it would have eventually blown up and sent bits of steel into my engine.

i had gone in this morning and i am very very pleased with the outcome.
he had offered to have them rebuilt and do the necessary precautionary checks on the motor to make sure its unharmed.

plenty of mechanics that i know of wouldnt have owned up to the error and would have told me to go f**k myself, but im glad that this guys a true gentleman and offered to repair it all for me.
i guess good customer service and looking after customers isnt dead afterall :)

everything will be back on track soon enough!

fuark.
Lucky.
Had a nut destroy a turbo when I had my second last GTST.
Doing 110 on the M1, gave it a hit, heard a chink, felt a sudden loss of power, big ass bang, smoke out from under the hood.

Shattered the impeller, split the outer housing wide open, shredded the front silicone intake pipe and left little dents in a square foot area under the hood and inner guard, etc, luckily none of that went into the motor.

Your mechanic sounds like a top bloke too, so cheering there. :yes:

haha thanks dude, while ive always wanted a wide body rb26 sedan, this isnt my dream car, it would have been my dream car if it was my original sedan, which the new owner bastardised and crashed :(

told the mechanic not to stress to much, hes got a month to get it sorted.

well. im convinced this car is some form of possessed ex wangan Devil R voodoo witchcraftmobile
swapped over the AFMs and fixed a few other issues like a bung o2 sensor and some vac leaks and the miss is almost gone and the AFRs are looking pretty good
that said the temp wont go over 1/4 way,

the devil R part

the clutch fans clutch didnt engage, as soon as my mechanic touched it, slicing the end of his finger clean off...

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
