Had it in for some general service last weekend.

The exhaust and cat is what has been scraping everywhere, the chassis was done getting onto the hoist...

And obviously the oil from previous leaks.

Crappy exhaust!

Probably hanging so low due to this broken gearbox mount. Probably also the cause of the less then finger tight manifold>turbo bolts, and thus the leaking sound and low power. Also was missing a dump bolt.

Took it for it's longest drive yesterday (20km there, 20km back). Gearbox got stuck in 3rd on the way there, turned it off and on again at the lights and it fixed the issue. then it got stuck in 2nd, which was a major issue trying to cruise at 60km/h. And the same deal on the way home. Only happened at the start of both drives though, not throughout or towards the end. Started sourcing manual parts though! Already sick of auto and footbrake!

Sweeeet.

My ceffy used to have the sticking gear problem.

It'd sometimes only use second and third, sometimes it'd use all 4. Was some kind of problem with the solenoids. When you turn it on, both lights on the dash (power and hold) should light up, if only one lights it, one or more solenoids isn't responding, can usually fix it but just turning car off and on again until it works, that used to work for me anyway, that might save some of your sanity until your manual conversion :P

Do miss the handbrake pedal though, used to think it was useless until Dan_J suggested one day, chock the handle lever up with a small block or your phone or something, then you have a third pedal to kick like a clutch....worked a treat hahaha

And I forgot to mention we found a second motor attached to the washer bottle. Followed the lines and found these...

No wiring plugged up to anything so it's just sitting there, for now.

And selling these if anyone wants them (Kris PM'd). $900 ono. 16x7 +32 205/50/16 and 16x8 +38 225/55/16. Good tread but one rear has a screw in it.

That's part of the reason why I love it, I've never seen one on the road before! And people who know what it is give me a surprised look when passing the other way.

But the gearbox is giving me the shits. Got stuck in 1st gear in traffic on a 4 lane road (on the far right lane!). Any decent drive (like, as in 2km's +) it'll get stuck in one of the gears. The more you drive the more often it gets stuck. But auto is gay anyway...

Just a few odds and ends to get now before the conversion!

PS still scraping everywhere. Had 4 of my mates plus myself in the car driving to the pub last night, hang ring now has multiple scratches!

Still for sale. Also have various crap as seen in post 1 for sale.

I'm down south-ish, Brighton way. I know of none, except that horrid green one that was for sale not long ago. Might have to meet up at some stage when mine is semi-respectable and not getting stuck in gear!

I don't think I need the red cable to be honest, it looks like the foot setup uses it anyway. I'll keep it just in case but once I got it all fitted and working I'll let you know if that's what you're after.

Oh and that's a JZX100 Chaser not a C35 haha.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
