Was it the earth strap in the engine bay ?

I think the attessa system has more earths under the back of the car in the boot?

Glad it's sorted mate go hard !!

yeah. The earth that holds the car battery as well as an other earthing wire.

It goes alright lol

Cars cooling off after the session

the brakes were fecking hot - need to fabricate some brake cooling / air ducting next also that brake dust is nasty, predominantly because I think my rotors are not facing correctly :dry:

Been experiencing voltage drop at idle after driving the car and think it could be the battery

Over the years I have been going through wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooo many batteries

And after some research I am thinking my alternator is one its way out.

So I procured this

IMG_0051_zps39778878.jpg

RH9 Alternator 130amps - hope this fixes the voltage drop issue (fyi it drops from 13.5 to 12.8 or lower at idle)

Came with this sticker - so cool - not that am worthy of putting that sticker on lol

Nice work. Was that a general fun day @Lakeside?

Yeah, I have since fixed that rear pod but may have to sikaflex it

Next issue.

Miss firing whoes.

I had my plugs fouled at the drag day so I thought I would replace them.

I took the coil packs out and they looked like this

they needed some serious TLC

While I was at it thought it would be good to source a new coil pack harness as the other one looked rather brittle and stiff

IMG_0023_zpsef5ebbf7.jpg

also got some brand new NGK platinum spark plugs BCPR7ES and I gapped them to 0.7mm

baf8d6e2-79ef-444c-a3b4-11b28ebcd86d_zps

I cleaned up them coil packs and also go hold of some dielectric compound and applied it to the coil packs where required and also around the spark plugs

IMG_0054_zps157f87f8.jpg

Plugs, coil packs and new coil pack harness all reinstalled

Went for a drive and car felt more responsive but more importantly goodbye missfire, happy Frenchmen I was

    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
    • Temu raptor, lol. At least the owner isn't your typical ranger danger lot
