You don't shit where you eat from 5hiv. So is it the AC compessor gone?

haha

Yes the AC compressor is dead. I knew that was the problem could have just cut the belt off and drove around with no AC

Today...

Swapped my Spare ECU into the Wags. (didn't fix the Intermittent Fuel Pump Priming) :(

Replaced a Green Relay in Behind the ECU which apparently pretty much controls everything. (May have fixed the priming issue) :)

Chucked in 2 spare Old Coolant Temp Sensors. (bled the air out)

Cleaned the AFM. (again)

Pulled out and cleaned the O2 sensor.

Tightened a couple of Rocker Cover Screws. (near Exhaust Manifold)

Removed the Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield and found the main Exhaust leak. (Pretty sure there should be bolts in these holes) :/

More jobs for the thread repair guy

Just make a list, get them all fixed at the same time, so its only one callout fee.

Did nothing to mine today.... too hot, later tonight when the little terror is asleep, ill take off the rear bar, tailights, do the last of the vynil stripping and the door rubbers have to be carefully removed.

Then its ready for final clean and de-waxing, especially the edges and where the rubbers were.

The list of sht to do, to prep it for paint is very long. Lets see how far i get before the missus realizes what im doing. :w00t:

Tried to reduce scrubbing.. Tend to get a little bit on crappy roads... :( Moulded the front splash guards with a heat gun. Raised the rear of the car about 5mm.. Was going to wash it but I think its going to rain at some stage over the next 24 hours.. Fingers crossed anyway :yes:

Detailing the Swift - Typical bloody thunderstorm then hail ! (x2)

Had GTR up the top with the 34.

Started to rain, then hail. First put a doona over the GTR bonnet then Kicked swift out of garage and moved the GTR just as the 2nd hail storm hit.

Was over quick. Shuffling cars what a pain.

Also had Shawty's magna here trying to fix the rear drivers side window. Wont go up. Had to tape garbo bags over it.

Did this a couple of days ago

Thanks man,

Today.....

Pumped front and rear guards.

Changed front pads

Raised front suspension up 10mm

Bled brakes

Discovered 265 tyres on 10" rims fit inside pumped front guards

Still have soft brake pedal :(

Time to have fluid changed and pressure bled.

Agree with above. Soarer looks Tough! What are those wheels + sizes etc...?

Today SkyWagStag got her much needed new thermostat and Coolant after a good hose flushin'. :D But now my temp gauge in the cluster doesn't work. :(

Also played more AAC, TPS, Throttle stop adjust games and may have hit the sweetspot. No more chugga lugga when floored from a standing start.

Woot! I tells ya.

While out in the 33 I had some Dude in an Audi SUV thing rip past me in Fury as my relatively cheap old Skyline formed one lane before him. :nyaanyaa: Sucker.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
