Fuel pump I installed previously was too big for the tank. Shaved off some of the some of the plastic teeth so itll fit in but it was touching the tank n due to vibrations it hums really loud.

So asking them to take it out and shave it off completely and ditch the rubber piece and use a vice to clamp it all together.

Or just f**king get rid of the humming lol

This job just got a lot more complicated. Turns out previous owner put a gtr fuel pump in the car, which is a lot larger and to fit it they removed the sender. So now Mark has to remove the pump and put a walbro pump in to fit the sender, the bill is roughly ~$500 now.

The plus side of this is I can run bigger injectors and higher boost down the line.

FYP

Bigger exhaust or stereo will also fix the humming

My stereo is mighty loud, exhaust is loud enough for me too....stupid pump is making me think I need a louder exhaust now....but less than $50 vs $2k.....I'd rather choose the $50 option...

Been seeing a few GTT 34 around my area lately....still really want one T_T.....ageing car though

Ok got Tue car back. Mark from C-red is such a top bloke. We sat down and discussed the car for 30mins going over everything, he estimates 6-8k worth of work already done to the motor. We discussed where to go next and budgets too. very good and friendly service. They out a walbro 400 in and charges for a 202?, as that's all he could get his hands on.

Splitfires, Custom Piping, Oil Filter relocation, Re-build, Candy Apple Red Spray job ;) and some other things I can't remember.

Edit: Memory kicked in - Front Mount intercooler and a bleed valve as well. (theres a couple things he noticed which I did not and I can't remember them)

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
