hi y'all..

wasn't 100% sure where to put this, hope this area is semi-relevant.

anyways, here's the problem...

bay.jpg

my engine bay has colour everywhere!!

no that's not the problem, problem is i need to get to my coilpacks, and i know they are lurking underneath the middle cover plate there but i'm not sure what i need to remove.

And if i need to remove the Green part, how the hell do i do that?

Also, what should i be real careful of? Anything i could REALLY screw up? Car has a flat battery at the moment too.

any help would be appreciated :(

cheers,

chinny

oh, to answer your q's

1) remove the rail which mounts the engine cover (neo 6 piece)

2) remove the 4 radiator clamps to remove the green piece (u only need to remove up to (and including) the rubber piece. you can leave the weird cylinder shape thing there

3) remove the coilpack cover (note that there are 2 small screws at the back which u need to take out and some small clips

4) remove the coilpacks

the coilpack cover maybe a bit hard to take out so u might need to take off your oil cap too ^^

All I did was remove the red and blue part.

loosen then right green part from the throttle body and turn the pipe up.

then after a few minutes of manipulating the cover it will come off.

The first time you do it, might take you 30 mins haha

but that is how i get my cover off.

i just leave it off now.

ok, i've unbolted all the bolts for the rail bit... but the left hand side of the rail has like a pipe attached to it? the pipe thing the ends by splitting off into 3 plug type things.

and how do i remove the blue part?? they look like clip things around the black tube, not sure of the method to get them off tho...

consider my engine knowledge zero :D

thought i'd update... i had a go at the pliers thing... the main hose across the cover plate, i couldn't move (without worrying bout breaking something) but the little U shaped one i managed to wiggle it off a bit, but then there was like oil and shit, so i left it :P

anyways... i'm going to start a thread in the Vic section. Help in exchange for brewskis :) (read, 6 pack of choice) i don't want to f**k anything up.

cheers, and thanks for the help y'all!

Mate, sometimes you gotta get rough with cars...... They aren't a toy - most will handle the little amount of punishment your little muppet arms can dish out.

You cant let rubber hoses and the like worry you :)

Cheers

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
