Til they're tight and then a little bit more... Don't Cross Thread them and Don't Over Tighten ! They can break.

Can give you a hand if you need it. :thumbsup:

Can vouch for my local mechanic. He knows what he's doing.

Until it comes to heat shields ! :P

Just Keeping my cool my man... :D

and how bout you? You figure out how to take the Handbreak off yet? hahahaha...

Haha yeah man - handbreak all the way up because of your A/C running :P

Thanks for the offers of help, I'm going to give it a shot on Saturday solo, just stay tuned for desperate cry's for help, although by then its probably too late :P

What side of town are you at?

Handy Hints:

Tape over or stuff a CLEAN rag in the pipes you just pulled off to get to the head.

If your coil harness is as old as mine, be careful the plugs can be brittle and break.

I find it easier to undo the bits the coils are bolted to, and take it all off in one go. Two bits actually.

With those gone you can get to any nuts or bolts you drop down there, and you can clean spilled oil and stuff easy.

Plugs are pre gapped, this is the easy way to get it right. get the right plugs.

Before removing the plugs, give it a good blow with compressed air and get any bits of crap out.

Those bits of crap can fall into the cylinder or foul the thread for the sparkplug.

The correct way to tighten the plug is explained clearly on the box.

Dont overtighen the coil brakets, its into alloy, so its soft, blue locktight is good.

Dont forget to remove the rags from your pipes (ive done that before haha)

easy peasy japanesy

Rosie in today at Craig Hall in Phillip. Getting suspesion down - legal height and wheel alignment :)

Update: dodgy seller didn't have a "bush" (?) in the front coil overs so that's not getting done today. Break pads instead. Does that mean I need to purchase new front coil overs? He was saying it would be hard to find a bush for the front coil over? :S

do you know the brand of coilover? find out exactly what bush was missing, inline may be able to help you out if you can't source one from a local parts store. - repco can sometimes be handy for things like that.

G4's - one of the front bushes are missing.

assuming you are talking about one of the bushes in the G4 coilover (must be noisy as hell!), you should be able to get what you need from a retailer (just jap) as they can be fully rebuilt.

Yep G4 coilovers - one of the bushes in the front coilovers is missing (Uninstalled). Just Jap sells bushes for G4's? :D brbrbrbrb

Hmm Just Jap doesn't seem to have G4 coilovers / bushes / whatever I was meant to be looking for.

Its funny I've got the same issue with my Tiens, for some reason the front rubber ring that sits at the top of the spring is gone, make it noisy as hell

did you give them a call and explain what you were looking for?

Nah - they have a very specefic range with suspesion it seems on their website. I'm going to assume they don't stock G4s.

Welcome to my boat - it's a sucky ride.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
