Does anyone have any tips on removing the air distribution box thing behind the centre of the dash? I have removed the blower and A/C evaporator units and the small distribution box that sits under it and distributes the air to the rear seat vents, however the main box with all of the climate control vent motors etc will not come out. The whole thing is loose and is moving around, but I can't get it out!

I really don't want to have to take the whole dash out! Any advise would be appreciated.

Cheers

Justin

Yep I have already removed all of those hoses / pipes connected to the heater core. The core itself is still in there though. I think its the connection to the ducting that goes to all of the vents in the upper part of the dash that is preventing me from getting it out. The whole unit is moving around quite a bit so I know its still not bolted to anything,

I will have another crack at it today.

After applying lots of brute force and breaking some of the plastic I finally lost it and got the hammer out :P

Then eventually I found the last remaining 10mm nut holding it all in which needed an extension about half a meter long to get to. At least its finally all out now!

    • 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.
