got the wheels on

fronts sit nice flush with the guard and rears could do with 10-15mm spacers to bring them flush (maybe more) and to be lowered lots.

chef- any updates with yours yet?

I have the elctrical diagrams for them now. should make debugging them a fair whack easier. I have one with a CAN issue currently and this is going to help immensly!

(FYI they are CAN bus driven car depsite how they appear as a 'simple box'. )

Wheel and tyre specs, stat! Are they 205/40 17s?

My place looks like a wheel warehouse, got three sets of Rota RBs (16x7 +40s, Cube spec) and the Goocars for my car also arrived this week. They have tyres on them, but they're odd sizings, so I'm getting new rubber and sending it down to my local panel beater for the necessary guard massaging, then wheels/coilovers go on.

wheels are stitch precious at 17x7 +28 all round. rears could easily go to a +15 i think. and 205/40/17s for $160 for the set deilivered brand new :yes::)

chris rogers - how much to supply a cruise crontrol kit?

i looked over here but they seem pretty steep.

what were you quoted? given that I'll put the controls on the right side of the wheel and its all DBW mine probably won't be as cheap as you are expecting.

for example:

thats one we did earlier.

i think it was 60000yen ish plus install.

although i was going to do the install myself rather than pay someone over here to do it.

its a local product- made in brisbane actually. :) the yen has little to do with it. the criuse unit runs on the same base as the V35 items I do.

This is what a 17x8 +30 looks like...

Front will need some guard pulling - when we lowered it down, it was Mexican by about 25mm...

That's the rear - reckon it will only need a guard roll if I can find a camber kit soon enough...

      AC Compressor

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Lots of this, and in older cars, AC is generally controlled by the AC knobs and programming, and the ECU reacts to the load. Modern cars, the ECU controls kicking the AC on/off at the AC systems request so it can be prepared for the engagement/disengagement.

      AC Compressor

      Sadly, it won't happen. The AC controls in our cars are essentially on-off. Whereas the AC in new stuff is more a case of variable displacement compressors giving infinitely variable output.

      AC Compressor

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I don't think anyone did. But it still made me consider. For me personally it wasn't clear whether the AC experience in my car was shit because it is an old system, or because it wasn't maintained. Looks like it may have just been the latter. I see some more modern setup being sold as an upgrade and I wonder whether it would make it drive like AC in a modern car. Where you don't really hear it or notice it. But maybe that's asking for too much as well.   Haha, stick it in a Nissan Cube and you end up with a driveable fridge I'm not doubting your experience. Just thought it was interesting to hear the AC technician's thoughts on it.

      AC Compressor

      By Butters · Posted

      Guess I should be hunting down one of these big ol ford units then for max flow ....  I've had fresh gas in mine and it was never as cold as it is now . The compressor could have been trash though, like I said I am one example with a bunch of unknowns.

      AC Compressor

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't know if anyone was seriously suggesting a retrofit of an Echo compressor in place of a more-or-less working original comp. You'd have to change the hoses at the bare minimum to do so, and that will definitely add significant cost. I had to get my hoses modded when I did the engine transplant and chose to use the Neo's AC over the even older R32 comp. That was startlingly more expensive than expected for what looks like a simple welding job, and a massive pain in the arse when it turned to have a pinhole leak in the weld too. The Frenchie's kit is for people who have next to nothing of the original system or have more than that but some of it is a bit shit and better off thrown away than salvaged. If you've got 90% of the system, you just patch it up. Mine is currently degassed because it apparently has a big leak somewhere. If I find it is the compressor, I will be looking to take my spare comp to a shop to assess and/or recondition, rather than contemplating a retrofit to anything off-brand.
