So,

Ever since the first stag cruise here in SA ive had a small stone chip on the windscreen (where we pulled of onto gravel between strath and victor as we drove of car in front of me flicked up a rock).

Driving home from work yesterday hurd an ad about how obrien do a windscreen repair for these chips to prevent cracks in future and it getting worse due to heat ect..... though to my self yeah should get it done.

Well today after work jump in car (boiling hot here today 40+deg) crank the A/C... takes a while to get cold as you know and then i feel the refreshing cool on my face and tink tink tink.... your not f**king serious! yeah away it cracked.

driving to work this morning, in the rh lane on the freeway, i hear a f**kin BANG! i thought oh f**k thats not cool.

a rock from a truck hit my screen. if i had have been in the middle lane where the truck was, it would have probably hit me square in the face.

good start to the day. as soon as i put a for sale sign on the car, this happens.

Quick question - do any of these non-oem replacement screens have the de-icer in them? My S1 has a couple of small chips that could almost warrant a claim on my insurance, but the de-icer is my main concern with aftermarket...

Dunno but when they replaced my windscreen they took down the tint number (apparently there are three or more different ones ) to make sure they matched it. Just ring your local windscreen replacement outfit and if they don't know the answer tell them to find out - shouldn't be too hard.

well was alot easier than expected! Got it replaced thisarvo by InstanWindscreens. Had one in stock here in SA!

My vision is clear as day $395 later, was expecting iot to be ALOT more than that

And today on the way to work.... Another f**king stone chip. Got it booked into for a repair/glue tomorrow morning before it gets up to 38 in the arvo to reduce the chance of loosing 2 in less than a year!

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      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.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      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.
