Hey guys and girls :wub:

Well i got my car back from the workshop after getting a FMIC installed. Now atm i have left the nostils in, they are the two small squares infront of the cooler. They give the car a very JDM look which is the look i am going for, I think i like them but am not 100% if you know what i mean. The bar goes into the shop on monday to get the cuts refibreglassed, smoothed and painted. So i do have the option of getting them cut out, just after some opinions.

Cheers Darren. I think the nostrils will be going on monday. But they will still be on over the weekend as i really can't be bothered taking it apart and cutting them out atm. I just wanted to see what they looked like as it's much easier to leave them in see if i like, or don't like.

I think i mihgt change the mesh to black though... but again not totally sure.

Going to keep em and do this with a slimline plate (see below). As i'm just not feeling the side mount plate, throws off the balance of the car. This way i still have a massive air intake for the cooler, something different is being done with the front bar, and the number plate is still legal (very important!)

    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
    • Yeah, the plan is to just put some black rubber vacuum line caps over them to "hide" them a bit I don't want to trim them in cause I need to put the OEM box back on at some stage
