Hey

Did anyone listen to the "keeping it real" segment on Groove FM 101.7 last night (16th August). It was on between 5pm - 7pm. The topic was "modidfying your car".

They had Darren form Technik in Willeton and also the head engineer from Road Safety or something were giving information.

I thought the whole thing was uninformative in general. Most of it was about how police pick on certain stereotypes etc etc The discussion was mainly lead by the dumb questions the public were asking (like how do I NOT get a yellow sticker? deerrrrr) and Darren did his best to answer them. Well done Darren! :)

Did anyone else hear it? If so what did they think of it?

Cheers

Liz

i heard like the last bit about it,

sounded to me it was more of a foucs for people who where into "ricing" up there car question about neons and legal ride height etc

Yeah it did sound like real "ricer" questions rather than real performance mods questions. Funny thing is i saw an old XD Falcon get pulled over that had blue neons about 30mins after the guy on the radio says they are legal. :bs!:

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
