My VL's fuel gauge (and probably everyone else's) used to intermittently stop working. A good slap of the dash would bring it back to life usually. Finally got fed up with that and pulled the cluster out, turned out there were a bunch of cold-soldered joints that had cracked. Re-flowed them and no more worries :yes:

I thought of doing this 12 months ago. storage/security/tools are a bit f an issue unless strict rules are enforced.

car is at tuners for run-in. thing won't idle when warm... suspect AFM has finally carked it :( bought one from a member literally 2 days ago. hope I get it before this weekend...

vic club should hire one. we all chip in 10 bucks a week, or 20. we have lift installed, and we all have to book in to use the workshop.

I'd want to keep my car there as well, since I don't have a garage :D

Huge liability issues right there, I doubt SAU Vic would wanna get involved in that without some exxy insurance as they could pretty easily get sued...but it isn't a bad idea by any stretch.

Just get a couple of people to chip in for a 1 year lease up front, get address and drivers licence details, install a security camera and away you go!

im down for weekly payments. no up front shizzle tho! but only if its got a lift~

Can pick up a 2 post hoist for $3k or so I think...

I know a few blokes who share a garage in an industrial area in a similar way, seems to work for them and it makes their girlfriends happy to not have all the junk in the garage ;)

everyone on the internet is just like "just solder the contacts on the AFM, its a piece of piss" "Z32 AFMs often get bad connections, just open it up and have a look"

no one tells you how to open it or how not to open it. if mine wasnt f**ked, it certainly is now lol

anyone know where i can get one locally even if its a bosch one?

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
