Beyond Blue R33 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 My latest multi meter was run over by a Ute months back and is now starting to tell lies. Might order a newbie tomorrow Every time I go to contract power/mtu/cat/Detroit/speno rail there are blokes running with fluke meters. The bro swears by them.

Flukes are good, but so are many cheaper options. I’ve had 2 flukes that both got run over, a dick Smith jobbie that still works well, cabac clamp meter that’s still good and just about had enough of my sidchrome meter. Cat meters are ok but like many meters they start to lie before the battery warning comes up 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/456618-new-wasteland-wa-topic/page/754/#findComment-7870098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat meters are ok but like many meters they start to lie before the battery warning comes upI just bought a sp tools 1/2" mini rattle gun and 1/2" air ratchet and wish I hadn't. Should have gone the Ingersoll rand. But very expensive. :-( the sp's look like a re-baged shinano. I only got 2 yrs from the last sp 1/2" ratchet. Boss replaced it for free because I was pissed off. I just bought a full set of gear wrench metric and imperial ratcheting spanners and they are sweet. I also bought a full set of gear wrench long combination spanners metric and imperial which kick ass. Compared to all my old sidcrome stuff. Going out at cost from beyond tools in Malaga. Doing more fitting than fabrication these days. Shame I'm the only person in the shop with the correct tools. It's annoying.

OK, so you have these bad boys running through the firewall which connects to the heater matrix as thus and if you notice the 2 black clips halfway between the firewall hard tube, and the heater matrix, you get to these suspect little f**kers and these are the issue (I suspect) they are located in the drivers footwell, and I am pretty sure they will be accessible just by dropping the bottom off the dash (and maybe yoink the shifter) but given I cant get into the footwell to eyeball any of this, its all purely academic at this stage.

You could test the send/return from after the poxy o ring arrangement to see if it holds pressure before pulling it out. Which is a prick of a job. You would think after only 100,000 the core would be fine if it's always run inhibitor/coolant? You could also run some soap suds water through it under pressure with the tubes attached to check the poxy o ring arrangement?

Sinista32 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) I've been using Nulon Coolant for over a decade in Multiple performance cars (Red or Green) with no issues what so ever. Top coolant in my opinion Currently use the Green in my 32 GTR and Red in my R8 Maloo.
