Looking to get a uprated oil cooler. Does anyone have any recommendations at all? Also do these get sold as kits? ie cooler with braided oil lines etc. Is there also any places that you would recommend that I can get these from. I did a search on here and see that someone has used Mocal 25 row x 235 matrix oil cooler,+ mocal thermostatic flow valve set up with Braided pipes. Would this be a suitable replacement? I other thing, my car is a Jap Import what size connections would be used? Thanks Ant

Hi I have a problem with the connecter that plugs into the TPS. The connecter has broke or should I say that the wires have come out the connecters which are inside the connecter. Ive been unable to get the connections out the connecter. I was wondering if its possible to purchase this connecter from somewhere? Are these a certain connecter or are they used elsewhere in the engine bay? Hope you understand what I mean. Thanks Ant

Cheers for that, will give that a try. Ant

Got a spare plenum and looking to do a water bypass as well as other things when I pull my engine. Ive removed all the hoses and rails etc on the underside as the Plenum pull and water hose bypass procedure states. Just trying to work out how to remove the pipe connectors, as shown in the pics. Do I drill where ive labeled in the pic to remove the pin inside the pipe connectors or is there something else I should do? How do I remove the other pipe connectors, because I cant see how i can drill them out. One other thing, the wires have come out of the connector that plugs into the TPS. Could someone tell me which wire goes where, ie I have three wires:- Light green, black stripe Light green, red stripe Dark green, red stripe Which goes in the top, middle and bottom of the connector, its so I can repair them. Thanks Ant

While putting a few things back in the engine bay, I noticed this pipe was split. Does anyone know the name for this pipe as i need to replace it. I know its somethng running from the turbo, intercooler or something. I looked on the courtesyparts website. but could not work out which one it is. Is there anywhere Here that would sell that part? Thanks Anthony

cheers Legrath, great help as always. Thanks Ant

Im good cheers mate, been very busy got a lot going on at the mo. Hope your keeping well. Car is still off the road hoping to get into Scott and Bretts to get the engine worked on and tidyed up very soon. Can't make saturday but might pop down on sunday if I get the chance. Really miss not having the zed on the road. Ant

Behind the passenger kick panel, I have 3 boxes. I would like to know if I have labelled the pic correctly? If not what is correct. One other thing is that my car has had a manual conversion and I believe that my Hicas is disengaged. Could I disconnect both the autobox and hicas boxes? Or does the hicas work the power steering as well? Thanks Ant

Cheers mate, that would be great. Fingers crossed. Thanks for finding that, I was looking for ages :rofl:. Ant

Heres a pic thanks Ant

Looking at the old ones that were in there which i have broke, they have a square section on the zip tie which clips into the bodywork round the wheel arch. Ill see if i can find a old one to take a pic. Thanks Ant

Any ideas where I can get the zip ties that are under the passenger front wing that hold the wire harness that runs from the front of the car to the passenger footwell. Its the ones that clip to the body work. Any help appreciated. Thanks Ant

It was made out of my old boot spoiler :D . I have about 100 pics of the car when it was getting done. Ant

The rear diffuser was custom made by my mates company who done the car for me.

Looking very nice, changing the side vents to one single one looks so much better. Im glad i done it with mine. Looking forward to seeing it done. Ant

My membership run out recently, not sure when :confused: i have just resubscribed via paypal. Thanks Ant

Thanks for your help guys. Ant

That sounds like a good idea, didnt think of that. Is it possible to buy a single dial face? Cheers Ant

Cheers. im looking to declutter the engine bay a bit. I have a after market boost gauge and would like the stock gauge to still work, so im guessing im still going to have to keep the little box. Would it be possible to extend the vacuum tube to the sensor so i can hide the sensor or does it need to be a certain length? Thanks Ant

Can anyone help? The little black box on the drivers side of the engine bay near the bulk head, is that the boost sensor? if it is, what does it do? The reason i ask, im sure ive read that if you have a EBC then this box can be removed? Is that true? Thanks Ant

Welcome

i did shotokan, gave it up about 14 years ago.

Has anyone got pics of the black calipers behind the wheels to help convince me? Ant

Have been thinking about doing them silver to stand out a bit. After seeing a person off the aussie forum with silver ones they did look nice. but keep coming back to black. Thanks for the feed back. Ant

Look what I got before xmas off ebay :hyper: Just wondering what your opinions are on what colour i should have them? Was thinking of keeping them black but thought they would not be seen behind the wheels. What you think? Ant
