For some reason, my car doesn't like going to fremantle. Whenever driving to freo, my HICAS light always comes on. It doesn't come on when coming back from fremantle, or travelling anywhere else for that matter. It only happens every single time I go there.

Guess she just doesn't like freo ;) ... what strange things do your cars do??

As soon as the warmer whether comes my aircon turns on randomly. Be driving down minding your own business and all of a sudden you hear "WOOOSHHH" and the aircon is on full speed. Only happens on hot days too. Not good when you are in the middle of Autotest and your trying to change gears and turn aircon off ;)

mine seems to veer into pub parking lots (it must think im an alco)

;) HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Nice :happy:

Mine is weird anywhere. . . . Aircon blows cold or hot air when it wants and hicas turns on and off when it wants. . . Scarey shit sometimes when the back end feels like its going side to side when i go quick. . ;)

i think they are supposed to lock - mine do it too...

isnt it a safety feature that was used..?

my drivers window goes down when it feels like it.

its embarassing when you are singing along to a song and your window just lowers by itself!

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
