b) water is getting insight my rear tail lights. what can i use to seal up a crack on the outside of the tail light?.

C) a got quoted.. 450.00 for a wheel alignment, to zero and replacing two front tyres as they are getting bold. <--- yet it is onli a small patch where its bald tha rest of the tyres are full tread <--- 125.00 for two front tyres. and 200 bucks wheel alignment ... is this a fair price?

Replace them!
b) water is getting insight my rear tail lights.
That would be as distinct from the front tail lights? With water getting inside?
what can i use to seal up a crack on the outside of the tail light?.
Nail polish.

200 for a wheel alignment is a rip off. Shouldn't cost more than about $70.

If you have Japanese suspension, ditch it. If you have factory / original suspension, replace it. In both cases, refer the group buy on suspension.

A) sht replace them.. i knew there was no alternative..

B) nail polish ... hmm will try that for sure thanks mate

C) wtf st george tyres said 200 bucks for the alignment jipping kents

ok will look for it thanks mate

D)

thanks mate for ur nput ...

    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
    • Temu raptor, lol. At least the owner isn't your typical ranger danger lot
