Hey guys, I'm in the process of shopping around for a new fmic and was wondering about which is the best 'cooler to get. I've been looking at ordering a Trust one from Japan which sounds pretty good but I also saw Xspeed had HKS Type S kits for a reasonable price (if they have them in stock). Which would be the better choice? I was also considering a Hybrid kit as I've heard they are pretty good. But the Hybrid kit is a bar & plate design where as the Trust and the HKS ones are tube & fin (pretty sure). Is there much difference between these designs? Any thoughts guys?

hehe, i know what your on about Loz :P

I think though that Kym (strechnine) has devised a plan after his DIY install.

I will be checking out his handy work and see if i should attempt the master feat :( and if i find it easy enough... Loz, for your birthday...whenever that is... and with Paulies permission... i will do your piping as a gesture of good will :D

God bless,

Nate

I decided to go with the Trust/Greddy intercooler kit. Only gonna cost me $1264 for the kit itself, but that's not including the shipping from Japan which I reckon will be about 19500 Yen (roughly $247 maybe?) Good value!

"paaaaaaaaanch the caaaaaaaant!"

'Good value' as in excellent, not good value as in value for money. It's just one of my sayings, like mintox. Remember mintox? After I've put the 'cooler in I was going to look at tuning options. Would a S-afc be better, or should I go the whole hog and get a Power FC or similar setup as they would give me more tuning options. Any recommendations?

Can you name the car with four wheel drive?

Smells like a steak and seats thirty five!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down.

It's a country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Twelve yards long and two lanes wide,

Sixty five tonnes of American pride!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

Top of the line in utility sports!

Unexplaned fires are a matter for the courts!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

She blinds everybody with her super-high beam,

She's a squirrel-squashin', deer smackin' drivin' machine!

Canyonero! Canyonero!

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
