Hey All,

 

I have had a quick look but couldn't find anything too specific - what should be the essential tools for an r32 Glove box tool kit?

So far I have 8 and 10mm screwdriver sockets, pliers, side cutters, a Toyota flat/Phillips screwdriver combo, electrical tape and zip ties (of course).

Is there any other tool/s that will help for a roadside emergency?

Change of shirt for when the ventilation system stops working again.

Bag of rags to clean up the oil puked out the RB's breathers.

Glue to stick the B pillar trims back together.

Knife to stab the bubbles in the dashboard with.

Pliers to pick up the broken turbine wheels off the turbochargers (They may still be hot).

More rags to clean the back window because the wiper doesnt work any more.

Can of spartan air.

Your mechanic's (Now best friend) phone number.

$750 *old logo* Nismo cigarette lighter

A necessity. What you really need is a pair of those Nismo branded binoculars.

People really out there paying for anything with a Nismo logo on it, when they can usually get them for more realistic prices from Yahoo Auctions/Mercari. 

But most only usually see the inflated prices on social media so they think it's actually worth that much and not just a scalper's fee lol

A variety of blade fuses.

The glove box is too small, relocate the tool kit to the boot and just store your gloves in there. Seriously mate your car is roughly 30 years old and anything could go wrong. Fix the issues you know exist.

That's a great idea thanks. Maybe some hose clamps too

Nope. No way you need to carry hose clamps.

as said fix known issues and you should really be replacing all rubber hoses anyway

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
