Yeah the back plastics on mine have plenty of cracks.

That's the reason it keeps coming back.

Tried to use silicone to seal up the cracks but it's not working.

I'll have another check this weekend and see what I can do before purchasing them.

Epoxy not silicon :thumbsup:

Okay so the timeline starts again.

So after fixing the radiator, rolling the guards, getting the coilovers installed & putting on the rims.

It was here! NATS! WOOOO FARKEN HOOO KARNTS!

I hadn't slept in days because I was so excited.

Got myself a helmet and loaded up the car with some spares just in case.

I pulled up at the nats and found myself a little spot next to Mat Geeteetee and unloaded the car.

Met all my whores from whore town who I hadn't met in person.

Who knew Tailor Made was going to have such a homo haircut haha!

Got the car out on the track and had an amazing time! Didn't have any gauges so I took it fairly easily.

1-2 hot laps and then a cool down lap, this worked well for me and the car didn't give me any issues.

I walked away with a 1.26 which was an okay time for the first time ever tracking the car.

I participated in the track day and the airport drags.

The airport drags was the best fun I have ever had and I think I got like 10 runs or more.

My best time was a 14 seconds flat I do believe.

On the very last run I thought I would give it my all and spent a fair bit on the limited.

Got halfway down the track the battery light came on and the temps shot through the roof.

Popped the bonnet and coolant was everywhere.

After closer inspection I had shredded my fan belt.

Mat was kind enough to go pick me one up and help me change it on the side of the road.

Rob pulled over and had a chat while using his hazards to make sure we didn't get hit

This is where I would like to give a shout out to Rob for his amazing effort.

After getting home I found that we had driven off on Rob and he got back in his car and had a flat battery.

He spent a few hours on the side of the road waiting for the NRMA as we boosted off into the distance.

(Rob I still owe you that drink or 10 mate)

Big thanks to Matt, Carmon & Rob for helping out and keeping company.
I would have been stuck there without you guys.

Ohh and here is a model shot of Josh (Tailor Made) & myself inside the car.

NATS! WOOOO FARKEN HOOO KARNTS! Indeed! :D

Twas my pleasure and in reality, my Battery was only 2 months off Death anyway, so not your fault. :thumbsup:

But I'll still Have those Beers ya flamin mongrel! I'll keep these Winkers for Ransom til you make good. :laugh:

And yeah... Mat - "34GeeTeeTee" Legend. :thumbsup:

So I cleaned my throttle body a few months ago.

Not thinking I actually cleaned off the sealant around the butterfly.

Could this be the cause of high idle?

How would people go about adding the sealant back and what would you use

I did the same thing and my car idles at 2000rpm now. Makes driving slow nice and easy as you don't have to accelerate.

The sealant is some special crap you have to buy if you really want to fix it. I'm pretty sure it's from tomei.

Source of your whistle?

could possibly be

This could be the reason that you only get it on a certain vacuum

Because it is in a certain position that causes the whistle.

Now just to find out what product I can use.

Some say gasket sealant but I don't want it to get sucked into my engine.

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • 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.
