if when u start your car and the CEL is on constantly, no amount of driving with the connecters pluged in will clear it, you need to work out a way of making the ecu think everything is ok with that sensor...

i think raydeo should approach a journalist from stuff.co.nz or something
Lately there have been many write up on boyracers, from stories gloryfying them to people being verbally abusive...
would be a nice change to see a story about a bunch of people who own nice cars and do things in a decent and safe way
good idea... this is the story i orginised almost 2 years ago... maybe time to do another one...
these are all CS , southern skyline, and toyspeed dunedin members...

seams a whole lot easier to leave the spoiler on there to me...

lattest news from Bruse...
"your crank is shagged"
translated it means, at some stage over the last 10 years the engine has run a bearing and so engine has been replaced and the current crank has been ground down (badly) and re-used. long story short i need a new crank...
currently looking at other options like a longer stroke

ahhh whered u get the URL for that pic nick? i hunted and couldnt work it out... ha!
-
orange?
-
to my knowledge, and someone please correct me if im wrong....
the CEL shouldn't be on when normal driving, unless there is actually a problem, if u fix the problem the light should go out... but the code will stay in the ECU memory until cleared... so if u light is still on then I agree with kamineko, you still have an issue...
what sensor was it? what code?
[fixed speeling]

doesnt black absorb infra-red as well? Regardless - something reflective will be betterer than black
in regards to colour... im sure it prolly wasnt the best choice... it was purely for looks... but the colour makes no difference... was just saying thats what was done on my car... its an idea...

when miller made the enclosure in my GTB he just got some bendable aluminium and fut it to fit around the pod, then high enough to have about 2-4mm clearence on the bonnet, painted it black and screwed it in

your a builder arnt you swinny?
as for the legacy... there are a few legacy's around town that seam to always be pushing the speed limit... more N/As than Turbos...
-
yes it was... but it also didnt look like a "boy racers" car... but then what does?
to a nana, any car doing the speed limit looks like a "boy racer's" car...
-
long flashes are 10's and short flashes are 1's...
so long, long, long, short, short, would be 32
-
about 5 meters after where the crash happened it changes from a 60k zone to a 50k zone...
-
if the rear schocks were rooted (and lets face it it was a 1995 model car so its a high possibility) and lowered then its totally possible they wernt going too much over 100 to do that.
the red X marks the spot where the car came to rest... from what i can figure the arrow shows what happened... the blue X is where the back wheels must have lost traction... then he basicly oversteered and hit a pole on the drivers side...
obviously hes just a total dropkick to be doing those speeds...!!!!

ok so the story goes...
took her for a 800k drive through central Canturbry and Otago, got home. started up the next day and there was no oil pressure...
turns out the oil pressure release valve was stuck open... so time for a rebuild...
doing as much as i can in one faul swoop... and its costing a pretty penny
New forged pistons
race bearings
clean and reuse rods
clean, check, and reuse crank
new clutch
new cambelt
new water pump
new oil pump
new oil cooler
work started last week with the removal of the engine and pulling it apart. my suspisions were confirmed as it had a cracked piston, hence was done on compresson in one cylinder
the block came out of the acid bath this morning.
then cleaning and boring
almost ready for putting back together
