If every thing goes to plan I'll be giving the car a full service this Tuesday.

Don't waste monies on expensive spark plugs if your doing them

Bcpr6es for $5 each. If they only have the bcpr6es-11's then gap them to 0.8mm yourself.

$100+ cheaper than iridiums which aren't needed

Interesting. Why do you say iridiums aren't needed?

Did Poologger do that? If so i'm kinda pissed be didn't want to work on my car looks mint! can't wait to see it in person.

Na it wasnt him, not actually seen him in a while. Was old mate from wk cost me a onkyo amp and a pack of cigs plus I gave him a 5k sale ;)

Im gonna be a pain and ask "why is that?"

Copper is best conductor, almost as good as gold,and less likely to overheat

Platinum and iridium don't conduct as well and can overheat. They may last twice the distance if not overheated but cost 6 times more

Copper- best performance. Shortest life $5

Platinum- ok performance. Ok life $25

Iridium- ok performance. Better life $30

There isn't that much in it really performance wise but big diff in price.

So considering I don't drive much at all (probably 10,000kms per year) I should just get platinum/copper?

Also, morning all, nice, cold and wet this morning!

Ok so my oil filter was stuck on all of my tools couldn't get it off. They were just denting it pretty bad. Desperate to beat the rain I rung C-Red as I was just around the corner from them and Mark let us borrow a tool he has to loosen it. What a top bloke, saved the day. New filter is in and the oil has been changed. Can't recommend these guys enough!

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
