  1. It's mounted o the sandwich plate underneath the relocated oil filter. Cooler sits on the front. Seems to be the electrics I think. It flashes the warnin light intermittedly then goes back to normal pressure.
  2. so i did an oil change a few weeks ago - car has been running as normal - no problems.. then noticed today my oil pressure dropped to 0 (greddy oil pres. gauge) whilst the stock gauge still showed between 2-3... pulled over just to be sure it there wasnt oil spilling out - no leaks - disconnected the sensor/plug for the gauge - plugged it back in - turned the car on - still showing no pressure - stock gauge still shows normal pressure 2-3 - drove it down the road - felt normal - tried a little boost - 7psi no problems - 10psi no problems.. Got home - let it sit for a bit - just went down turned it on - still showing no pressure on the greddy gauge but still shows pressure on the stock gauge - unplugged the sensor / wiring - clipped it back in - now its showing maximum pressure on the greddy gauge 10kg/cm2 but still normal on the stock gauge.. No leaks, drives fine but now i can hear a slight hissing noise / leaking noise above the injectors / below the TB about midway down the engine on the drivers side. Never heard this before. I got a bit of cloth and covered the underside of the throttle body to see if it was leaking - wasnt that, the gasket was replaced a few thousand km ago so it shouldnt be that. ... Would this be more of an electrical / sensor problem? Or further problems given the hissing noise? The only other work i did was a fuel filter but i hardly think that would effect oil pressure. The filter isnt leaking - direct replacement for what i had in there. Not sure if that has caused the hissing noise
  3. pics of foglights/indicators?
  4. need a pic of the wires etc..
  5. erd at yatla - halfway between brisbane and gold coast
  6. ^^^ cars that are financed?
  7. pics look sweet - looks like you guys had epic fun
  8. no good champ - hope it turns up - wouldnt want to own an import down the coast at the moment - seems as though secure parking still isnt secure enough either..
  9. hahaha that laugh is funny
  10. how can i get this sougi stuff? p.s getting one of those fumoto drain valves.. cant believe i didnt know about these
  11. twins = more parts that can go wrong / fail = $$$$$
  12. More like 10psi
  13. Be careful with the gasket
  14. Ask just jap in the traders section. I got a replacement ngk o2 sensor from jj was like $100 including postage. Plugs straight in
  15. pm me if you want more info / pics - just about to put another 6 months rego on it / new brake pads (machined rotors) / alpine head unit / new speakers all round.
  16. ^^ lol i went the turbolight because of the mileage on my car... also that i cbf arguing over a few dollars considering i got the oil in 24 hours.. *plug for JJ*
  17. watched that testing vid a few times - GL
  18. shotgun the indicators - Cant pm you for some reason??
  19. at least throw up a pic imo i would take it to a tuner / mechanic to give it the once over just to be safe (did you buy it without getting it looked at in the first place?? if so.. you've got balls )
  20. U can have mine for 10. Rwc rego till October. Series 2, 148,000, turbo back exhaust, teins all around, 18s with dish on the rear and 4 newish tyres. Greddy gauges, apexi rsm, Just done oil change, gearbox oil change, diff fluid. New 400r copy front bar is about to go on it. And it's white
  21. Haha yeah the chick at repco made the same remark. It just wasnt coming off. I basically tore it off with multi grips, screw driver and a chisel. But yeah avoided damaging the sandwich plate
  22. hopefully they give you a small seal where it connects to the block - mine came without one - had to go find a similar ring at the local hardware.. and smokey - i used the filter claw - that just crushed the oil filter more leaving less filter to grab a hold of.
  23. yeah it was like 60 bucks for 5L postage was $20 ish.... lol the screwdriver trick... i thoroughly dont recommend it - some say its ok - for me an oil change usually takes an hour.. it took days to finally wrench my old filter off after breaking just about every tool i had
  24. check the "goods on oils" thread.. its over a 100 pages long but spend a bit of time reading through, improves your knowledge about how oils work.. benefits/disadvantages of types of oil i.e semi synthetic/ fully synthetic etc etc - you'll find your answer in there somewhere. I would go off your dipstick though. start with 4L - turn car on for a few minutes.... let it sit for a bit - check dipstick - keep topping up in small increments until you reach the H level.
