Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[Sklyn]

yeah well aware of that! =) just confirming that i can actually stick with what i am using.

I know different materials require different coolant to avoid corrosion. blah blah blah..

just not sure if stock one=steel, and new china one=aluminium , thus different coolant needed.

[Sinista32]

Sorry

Slow day at work

[Sklyn]

haha, never be sorry for helping out dude! I appreciate the warning.

Slow day here too, hence my time to go shopping on ebay, lol.

If you do wish to change types (clolour) then have it professionally pressure flushed first.

This^^^

Stock is Brass I believe. The guys at Gibbs in Belco did mine (Natrad) and put in the coolant they deemed appropriate.

They also did a check for stray current to avoid Electrolysis eating away at my Aluminiums.

I had green before with stock Radiator (which was leaking) and Now I have red. It's pretty.

[Sinista32]

I use Tectaloy 100 which is green and pre-mixed. Also did a fair bit of research before selecting this one. It was between the Nulon and Tectaloy.

With the Alloy rad etc... I use green. No brass monkeys in my system - Tee Hee.

Nissan are now using Blue - FTW

Some are just died because it differentiates between GM, Toyota, Europee'n and US cars.

There is Red, Green, Orange, Yellow, Brown and now Blue.

They used to colour them for a reason. 3 different types - Oats, Hoats and another one.

Now it's all just pretty *rainbow*

Put the Foz in for rego inspection. Failed.....fog lights not working!

Checked all fuses just now and they are all fine. Checked the connectors to the actual fog light switch and one fell off quite easily, hoping that is what the issue is.

I couldnt get it back on. Have to pull bottom half of dash off to get to ot and cant be bothered tonight. will do it after work tomorrow.

[Deziner]

All fixed. I pulled the dash out. Both the connectors for the fog lights and cruise control were disconnected.

Not sure they were ever connected as they snap in quite tightly so doubt they just came loose.

[Sklyn]

good news then =)

all my new bits are marked as posted, eagerly awaiting delivery.

shame they wont be ready for the drags this weekend..

Passed my rego inspection check up this morning! Woot!! After a decent sized list of small things to fix up:

• headlight aim
• atmospheric blow off valve
• boost gauge within head impact zone
• pod filter loose
• manual boost controller/bleed valve
• secure thermo fan
• right side handbrake didnt work
• wheels too wide

Big thanks to Rob for lending me some rims to get through the inspection, and a photo of them on the car was requested

[Got a Pulsar]

Haha! Nice one.

actually doesn't look tooooo bad.

[D.I.Y. Mik]

[RosieR34]

[RosieR34]

YAY! its always good to be allowed to drive on the road..

So are you not allowed to have manual boost controller/bleed valve in ACT? Is SA them same?

I'm about to install one soon, and moving to Adelaide shortly after, do i need to remove it before changing to SA rego?

Yeah im not 100% sure on the subject but this is what I think sounds about right from doing a lot of research. If you want to control the boost it has to be done from inside the cabin, but you cant have any air, fluid or gas (apart from air vents) passing through the firewall.. So to stop all the smart arses placing their bleed valve inside the cabin haha, and I think this is Australia wide. Someone feel free to correct me as im not 100% sure..

If you do install it I would just change it back to stock for the inspection. Only a 5 minute job once you know what you're doing.

Not a Pulsar has a pretty good setup, could probably talk to him about how he controls his boost.

[Anfanee]

manual bleed valve under the bonnet are 100% legal. ANY in cabin device is illegal. this is what i have been told anyway

[Sinista32]

101 - hide shtuff - dont make it obvious

Edit

oh and make boost variable but set to a max through your ECU

Right foot controls speed (and boost)
