Hello everybody,

Im chasing vert' doors to get my car over the pits. Its on the wharf at the moment, and i just realised that shaved door handles means NO door handles (not that she wanted to keep clean).

Any ideas or suggestions to get my baby over the pits will be appreciated.

Heres a link for pics of my car in japan. Compliments and constructive insults are appreciated :D . Its my first import and its a touch wild.

heres that damn link

You need to go to see Raj at Jap Parts www.jappartswa.com.au/ as he can comply it and has a lot of standard bits you will be needing to get it over the pits, if the doors are a different colour it wont get signed off as the pits will go were are the doors it came with (swapping doors for side intrusion bars is a old trick).

A new version (10) of the vehicle sign off is out and a couple of changes due to workshops taking short cuts, I dont do them any more as it was to hard to justify the cost.

Hand Brake needs to lock, are the seats FIA/ADR stamped, front bar needs full support, was any of the radiator support cut to fit the front mount, ride hight, bonnet needs to be steel, are the guards steel or glass, tyre/rims, guages all over field of view, front seat belts are need and what exhaust is fitted.

That is just from looking at the photos, who sold you this with out highlighting a few things.

Heya All!

Just received a call from the Head of the pits (Welshpool) and they said that i dont need to have external door handles!

Good news, as my fc3c complete door search/lend is quite a failure.

One less thing to worry about on the pits, his stance on stiff suspension is that it should have **some** play when you push down on it, unlike most jap cars with coilovers where it doesnt bounce down nor up.

What a sigh of relief, and i should take delivery of it within the next 2 days.

Will look at that list DRIFTT and see what i can do.

Cheers ;)

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
