mine had a use by date of 1997 as well. Worked perfectly fine in 2002. Unfortunately my friend (who I gave it to as I had no use for it) was driving down a road with it lit, and in a moment of brilliance decided to throw it, execept it somehow bounced on the edge of the window and landed under his seat, smoking the entire car out, and giving his carpet a nice pink hue that took hours to get out.

I believe they are compulsory in Jap cars in case they break down on a bullet train track. Crack a flare and so it gives time for the train to slow down. The speed they go, they need a bit of time...

or if it's not breaking down on a track, it might be if you see the bullet train track is obstructed, you need to light your flare...

i think that's why jap cars have to have them...

my brackets are removed and placed in the glove box..I kept wondering what the heck that was...lol...good thing I read this forum... :angry:

aww man I should get those flares as well...do they sell flares in army surpluss stores here? ...huum

    • Johnny is sad now... Because you didn't get Bosch Motorsport ABS.  
    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
