Anyway ...

Removed the chicken shed, fencing and cut down almond tree in my back yard. Ready for the pool to be installed on the Saturday. :D

Bobcat guy coming back to clear a bit more of the site, then it begins ... it'll be erected and filled before Chrissy!

Also, paid for materials for house extension. Materials coming in the next couple of weeks. Currently boring the holes for the foundations. Got my 'laser level' and all the cool tricks ready to go.

Anyway ...

all the best in whatever you get up to Joel, I'm sure it's just a semi departure from here, not events hopefully, so hope to try & catch up at the Christmas picnic & dyno days etc.

I've been on the boards for just over a year and don't ever recall any unfair attitude from you, Andrew or Matt........people have to accept that certain issues do require a firm measure of handling otherwise it becomes a free for all. People also have to realize that you guys are partially responsible for a clean reputation of SAU which unfortunately sometimes requires unpopular decisions.

Pete, tomorrow's weather is 24 and sunny (fine). Bringing the beast out to Vilis?

I'm itching for a ride, and may not have time on the weekend, so I'll be riding to work tomorrow and Fri night. :D

BTW found a neat accessory for the bikes Pete ...

im stoked to say the least

Almond tree's grow back!! We got one out the front cut down and even the main trunk and roots pulled up a couple of years ago and we're still getting little mini-trees popping up!

Not this one when I'm done with it :D

    • Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary. 
    • There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).  
    • Putting the climate control CU into diagnostic mode is independent of the ECU. You just have to do the dance prescribed in the manual. No, I do not know what the dance is. I have an R32, so use the dance in the R32 manual. On older cars, I would have said "no, the ECU should not affect whether the A/C works".... but for an R34 that might be wrong. I don't recall the detail, but there was extra mods required to make my R32 A/C work against the R34 ECU. The R34 ECU apparently gets involved in the running of the A/C more than earlier cars did. Theoretically, if the PFC is a true plug in, then it should just work the way that the original ECU does - wrt A/C. But there's always scope for them to have not cared. Nope. Pressure switch out = getting the fridgey out to pump the gas out before pulling the switch. The switch really cannot sense gas pressure unless it is up against the gas.
    • Hi guys, thanks for the replies.  I will have to wait till summer to test properly, but it short cycles both when heating and cooling. I’ve ordered a new internal temp sensor that sits under the vent in the steering wheel also, GTSBOY, I have an Apexi FC ecu, I’m assuming I won’t be able to diagnose or would it still work? Could the ecu be causing the problem??   the pressure switch is quite cheap I will get a new one and try it out, hopefully it doesn’t require purging the refrigerant again?
