Well woke up the went to get the car of the trailer and f*ker won't start

So did the usual checks and the fuel pump is not working

Blew the fuse so replaced it and blew it again so I pulled the f**ker out.

dodgy 101' the workshop that installed it f**ked it up and the pump has shorted out on the locating housing

The pump has been flapping around and knocking agains the housing and shorting out on certain bends... So now that its fixed up and the pickup fixed hopefully I have fixed the surge issues

sooo

some updates on this old girl

car is going to jez for the following

install surge and twin pumps

will throw the haltech in and have a tune for e85

hopefully it will result in more reliability up around teh 300rwkw mark(and some less lag)

also have a harness bar to throw in and a new rpm harness

then once tuned will put the ikea shit in and get another wheel alignment and book her in for a wakfield day

yea baby

also bought a leak down teaster so i can keep track of how the engine is feeling as it slowely dies in a fire

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
