fix it... making brain hurt

I say, old chaps, I do appear to be suffering some minor homosexual tendencies when posting on this fine forum. My browser of choice is the fabled Internet Explorer but alas, when I submit a post it appears not once, but twice! It's just not cricket.

Stoopid pintaras...

Got home from work yesterday and noticed my brake lights were stuck on :D. Don't know when it started, but presumably it was yesterday sometime or my battery would have been flat yesterday morning.

Fortunately, all the inconsiderate, uneducated, and generally incompetent drivers of Brisbane somehow managed to avoid running up my a*se despite having no indication of when I was stopping :bigthumb:. Good job, team!

So I got out my multimeter ready for some HK electrical diagnosis. After doing some Houdini tricks I managed to unplug the switch that triggers off the brake pedal. Lights go out. Then I used a bit of wire to bridge the contacts, lights come back on. That settles it then: the switch is faulty. Out I go to the ute, perform some even more impressive Houdini tricks (since it is parked beside the house and you can’t open the driver’s door) and manage to get the switch out of it. Back to the coupe, but as I go to remove the switch from it, I notice that there is a hole in the brake pedal where it should be triggering the switch. So basically, the pedal is not actually pressing on the switch. Well that explains it, there’s obviously meant to be something in that hole. I found half a dozen pieces of rubber in the foot well that almost re-assemble to form a rubber stopper. That would be it! BACK to the ute now, more Houdini tricks to remove that rubber stopper this time, then again to put it into the coupe. Fixed!

Profit.

Im here ... Does that count or have I been kicked out for my lack of presence at the BnR meets :)

No, but if you don't start turning up again soon you will be! :D

Good morning!

mang.

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
