My car has been off the road for a while now as i cant get a mechanic to do a home visit.

Cant tow it as the front bar is to low and it is not good to take it off. (Long story dont ask).

If anyone knows of one that does house calls please let me know.

Symtoms i:- The car is sounding like an outboard motor.

Is it driveable at all though? You might be able to baby it somewhere close.

I have spoken to Dan and i had him booked in a couple of weeks ago.

I changed my spark plugs and it was running ok, so i cancelled him.

Two days later it was running like shit again, called him again but he is to busy and he lives on the other side of town so it would be hard for him travelling in peak hour traffic just to look at my car.

Im thinking i might baby it, but i dont know what damage it might cause to the motor or completly shit itself in morning peak hour, so i dont really want to risk it.

Hey Col does Allstar do house calls.

Im guessing its fouling the plugs. Given you changed them it works, then a bit later it doesnt work and sounds like an outboard... Maybe change them again, if it then works, dont drive it until you can take it somewhere?

Yeah they have only done about 100km.

I pulled them out and cleaned them thinking that it should be ok to get me to the shop, but its still running like shit and they were'nt that dirty unless there f**ked completly some how.

Outboard sounding skyline.. ha ha ha. poor bugger. been there!

sounds like coil packs are not fireing.

check that they can earth out properly. sometimes gunge and corrosion builds up under them!

remove ur plugs to see which one isn't fireing. that will point u at the right cyclinder.

I didn't fix mine until i did compression test!!

I had broken the second compression ring in No: 5!

I"m glad yours is electrical..

Cheers.

eh, if you are worried that it could be something major just take a look at the smoke, if its burning too much oil then u could have a problem, but if its just coils its nothing major, shes driveable.

No there is no smoke, just no power and sounds like shit.

      Powder coating wheels

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.

      Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.
