  1. cheers mate, car is clean and I will be there
  2. hey pretty sure i can make it now....can i pay onsite, seems as if you have a few spots left..
  3. to rejuvinate it needs constant reapplication for an extended period...so every 2 weeks for 6 months for eg, it should start looking better...Otherwise you are only masking it really, think of it like putting a coat of paint on rusty metal. Wether you use a cheap or expensive product , you will find applying a little product often will work better in the long term than applying alot all at once.. back to black is a reasonable product it may just be your application is wrong.. Alot of people like aerospace 303, personally I find Mequirs rubber gel works good too for a cheap product, ..its purple and it smells like bubblegum....I'll apply it every six months or so and my rubbers all still look great.. something else that works is leather conditioner, it has alot of oils in it that seem to soak into rubber well.. otherwise get in contact with waxit Im sure he will have something for rejuvenation of old rubber
  4. man I actually checked that, well by checked i mean I asked the wife cause I couldn't rememeber, is cannot 1 or 2 words...she said 2, she's the one who reads books all the time, so I took her word for it..I just read car forums and most people here have worse grandma than me... but for the sake of clarity http://www.dailywritingtips.com/cannot-or-can-not/ we are both right Mick you are still wrong mate, back to school you go carnt!
  5. dont believe anything Amercians tell you about ethanol anything....
  6. go to bunnings, lawnomower section, they have little fat 20 lt jerry cans for half the price of auto stores... were 20$ from memory...plus they are small and square so dont fall over in your boot
  7. lol, yeah I had a few.Geminis...at least mine were RWD... I learnt to drive sneaking into paddocks at moorabin airport at night and cutting loose...
  8. Who is drivng the car?? and it doesn't even have dish, so what's he polishing...
  9. ED** read this http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/366722-e8598-flex-fuel-mission-complete-thanks-to-chequered-tuning/?hl=flex%20fuel ^^thread^^
  10. nothing in haltech help file about flex....found this video will do tho , pretty bloody simple..lol also notice they don't bother using clip on joiners either...just hose clamps.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5xvcfPHWbg#t=46 I found the plug too but 35$ is bit rich
  11. you got a diagram of that mate? also anyone know where to buy the sensor plug? I have sensor here but not sure how to wire it...
  12. I should've said, that rail was left out of the car for a few months wrapped in cling wrap...when I unwrapped it is when i discovered that..It was quite obviously residual fuel and it dissolved immediately, which I why i wonder if small quantities go stale when left to sit...And if maybe condensation was forming in that wrapping.. ..
  13. up to you mate, I know some people do, i know some people don't...I dont think it makes much difference personally I found the best way was to just fill up with fresh fuel if it had been left sitting for long periods...as it would run like crap with stale fuel..
  14. Yeah was only when i left tank on empty i ever had starting issues
  15. ..yeah depends on its context though..
  16. I'd say its painted chrome which is usually painted over a black base ,in which case the paint has scuffed through....I have a wheel the same, is painted black chrome...you can't really fix it though you could try repaint the area, it might come up ok. btw the way carnt is not a word, the word is Can't , its an abbreviation for can not
  17. its definatly close..
  18. I wouldn't be driving an ethanol car thats been siting that long without changing fluids..And any ethanol based high powered car should have its fluids and filters chaged more regularly than pulp cars, I know my fuel filters blocked up within 3000kms which is ridiculous...I've had fuel filters on pulp do 100,000kms+ on my work ute and still be fine...but for those of us interested in performance excessive maintenance is a given... it seems to me Ethanol goes funny when left to sit, why im not 100% sure, I feel maybe it happens when mixed with condensation.. but here is the inside of my fuel rail after a few months of sitting around.... It had crystalized into a sugary substance that dissolves almost immediatly,,,but if this is in your fuel or oil and it was in my injectors...well it just makes me wonder.. I'd try not to leave it sitting to long anyway...I did leave it sit in my car for a over a month without starting at times and never had an issue though...well apart form blocked fuel filters and being hard to start sometimes, which i wonder if was due to this crystalization.. but it wouldn't hurt to just flush system with fuel if you are planning on leaving it sit for too long...and maybe a quick oil flush before you take it out for any hard driving,, Better safe than sorry
  19. still here.....make an offer.......
  20. I think you will also find if you get a puncture they are throwaway only, kind of sux to waste a 400$ tyre like that, especially if its not very old...
  21. There will be ulterior motives behind this anyway...like raising more revenue from P-platers speeding.. you watch Kids all get excited about the new laws and start driving like morons... then government will use this as an excuse to bring in mandatory GPS tracking or some bullshit.... They are just fishing, they're just giving a little slack before they reel us in further....
  22. yep, I remember getting a stock lancer rent a car over 200 with 5 people in the car...back mid 90s...
  23. this is your wedding song man....
  24. reg or whats the wiring like to the pump, have you used a thicker gauge wire..? my money is on its not getting enough power... Lets say the 255 is getting just enough power , then the 460 would die in the ass with that same power.. would explain both your problems..
