when you say back into the bulkhead, where do you mean?

As far as i can tell, this is the only rail damage:

Lower Radiator Support:

The idea is basically this:

I'll strip the front of the car back, guards, lights, cooler, radiator, air-con, oil cooler etc, then assess the damage, if it looks like it really needs a bench (which i think it does) i will get it done by the pros.

They can do the radiator support and chassis rail and i will bolt the car back together..

It also needs a new set of rear discs.. I think someone did an absolute monster burn out in this thing - extreme brake dust on rear rims, rear discs are ~3mm worn on each side!!

I'll get a better picture of this once the wheels are off and the car in the air..

Update:

Today i removed

Headlights

Indicators

Air conditioning condenser

Radiator (bloody hard to get out)

Bottom radiator support definitely needs to be replaced. It is bent in to within 20mm of the engine fan. LH Chassis rail is straight, RH has been bent diagonally in and up by around 25mm. The area where the intercooler piping returns towards the plenum is where most of the damage is, although this pipe does not appear to have been damaged. The battery platform is still in the right place.

Unfortunately it looks like the rear turbo has been spitting out some oil.. not a great deal, but there is some in the piping from this turbo.

I have no pictures at the moment, my mate wanted his digital camera back for christmas.

Did a compression test today after cleaning out all the water from the spark plug holes..

1: 120psi

2: 120psi

3: 105psi

4: 115psi

5: 115psi

6: 105psi

Remember that compression test results are dependent both on the type of compression tester used and the speed of crank, so these results should be taken as an indication only.

Overally I am quite happy with what this suggest: No major internal engine problems with the pistons, rings and valve seating.

A question for you guys, this car is currently running NGK R number 9 spark plugs. Another forum member has suggested NGB BCPR7ES plugs, does anyone know if these will be ok, or do i need a colder heat rating?

Also, when i had power to the car today i checked out the boost controller - the two settings currently programmed are 1.2 bar (~17.5psi) and 1.4 bar (~20.5psi).

Apart from this I cleaned a rear wheel today... It took about 5 hours with ~1600psi of high pressure cleaner and a whole bottle of wheel cleaner. I want to hurt whoever let these wheels get this dirty!!

Any comments welcome,

Hello,

your compression seems too low? isnt 130-150 correct?

Also, you sure the boost controller is Bar ?? Or is it kg/cm2?

1kg/cm2 is 14.2psi.

Petar.

    • 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.
