checking what? um doesnt matter going home now. hopefully dodgy battery starts. Idling prob behaves - haha sounding a bit dodgy my car hey!

Well catchya later - maybe tonight - i feel like pizza tho - pizza in front of TV chillin

It appears no one is here. Oh well, just wanted to tell you all I had a slight altercation with a curb today at work, and knocked the corner of my front bar off. Not completely, it was just hanging off, but I managed to get it up off the ground and get it home without hitting the ground.

There was a reason for tis altercation, not just stupidity. Some tool in a 4 wheel drive (not a real one, a Rav 4) had decided she would use a third of my parking spot. Me being me, having earned the best spot in the carpark could not possibly park elsewhere, so I tried to squeeze in. Well, not concentrating, basically got front bar caught on curb. Was caught pretty good, had to really rev to reverse off it.

Best part of the story is not much damage, and I went to a panel beater on the way home, asked him how to fix it and reattatch it, battered my eyelids, and he fixed it right there on the spot for nothing! Husband will never know.

I am a bad, bad woman.

hey good news - well not for my parents but for me - guy in QLD fell thru he saw the RAC report on it hmmm the old girl needs a little bit of work - he freaked and pulled out - its not that bad.

Anyway i get to keep Dino as part of my fleet for a little while longer - yay.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
