My latest multi meter was run over by a Ute months back and is now starting to tell lies. Might order a newbie tomorrow
Every time I go to contract power/mtu/cat/Detroit/speno rail there are blokes running with fluke meters. The bro swears by them.

Flukes are good, but so are many cheaper options. I’ve had 2 flukes that both got run over, a dick Smith jobbie that still works well, cabac clamp meter that’s still good and just about had enough of my sidchrome meter.

Cat meters are ok but like many meters they start to lie before the battery warning comes up

I just bought a sp tools 1/2" mini rattle gun and 1/2" air ratchet and wish I hadn't. Should have gone the Ingersoll rand. But very expensive. :-( the sp's look like a re-baged shinano. I only got 2 yrs from the last sp 1/2" ratchet. Boss replaced it for free because I was pissed off. I just bought a full set of gear wrench metric and imperial ratcheting spanners and they are sweet. I also bought a full set of gear wrench long combination spanners metric and imperial which kick ass. Compared to all my old sidcrome stuff. Going out at cost from beyond tools in Malaga. Doing more fitting than fabrication these days. Shame I'm the only person in the shop with the correct tools. It's annoying.

O-rings you say?

Which ones?

OK, so you have these bad boys running through the firewall

peugeot-205-1.6-1.9-gti-xs-heater-matrix

which connects to the heater matrix as thus

and if you notice the 2 black clips halfway between the firewall hard tube, and the heater matrix, you get to these suspect little f**kers

and these are the issue (I suspect)

they are located in the drivers footwell, and I am pretty sure they will be accessible just by dropping the bottom off the dash (and maybe yoink the shifter) but given I cant get into the footwell to eyeball any of this, its all purely academic at this stage. It might be a shat heater anyway :/

If you can stomach the brand name tax that comes on the fluke gear. You rarely get a shit product from them.

I know, right?
Plus, if it is the o-rings, it means my u-beaut nulon coolant is a POS 
Do you have a air compressor at home? You could test the send/return from after the poxy o ring arrangement to see if it holds pressure before pulling it out. Which is a prick of a job. You would think after only 100,000 the core would be fine if it's always run inhibitor/coolant? You could also run some soap suds water through it under pressure with the tubes attached to check the poxy o ring arrangement?

Agreed but in the conditions I work in I’d rather 3 cheaper meters to a same level fluke. I work in the rain, mud, grease and whatever else is thrown at me.

Has it ever had a coolant flush? Different coolant colours have different additives to stop issues like this

I've been using Nulon Coolant for over a decade in Multiple performance cars (Red or Green) with no issues what so ever. Top coolant in my opinion :1311_thumbsup_tone2:

Currently use the Green in my 32 GTR and Red in my R8 Maloo.

If you need parts my mate is a service manager at Ford. If you can't be assed chewing out the stuffed old back I could put a good word in for you to get it fixed:-) p.m.
Spotted a sweet looking yellow r34 on the Tonkin today. Gave you a thumbs up if you are on here ha ha
Hey dude hows the gt-r running? Looks like a good investment the 33's are starting to sky-rocket bit like 32's and 34's. Except it looks heaps better[emoji41]

    • 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.
