my blonde moment today: (i feel so dumb)

Yesterday driving home from work i started smelling this plastic burning smell from my car when i was nearly home - and i thought it might of been just some kinda toxic fire in the area or something so i got home opened up the bonnet - no smell - that was cool - i walk round to the rear of my car and it was fairly strong but im thinking couldnt be much to catch alight round there so i cant be that must be the smell in the area.

Get inside and mum goes "whats that look on ya face" and i say "smell something funny coming from my car like a plastic smell is it the car or the area" - "its the area today she said" So i didnt think anymore about it.

Get in my car today get to pretty much the same point i started smelling it last time and smell it again - get to orrong rd and it is really bad and i figure out its the car. Anyway theres a light patch shining on my passengers side dash and i saw like heatwaves coming up from it so im like "oh my god maybe its my stereo equipment wires or something and because its coming from the rear of the car could be the battery" I had my sub put in my ZX by a mate and you need special wires of the battery otherwise it could catch fire which i eventually got done but im thinking maybe it wasnt transferred into my skyline and its wired wrong or something.

So anyway where i used to work is about 5mins away - car dealership. So i drive there - noone done the back in the workshop so i run barefoot to the service advisor "jason my car has an electrical burning smell" jason goes" Todd (electrical n import expert) is in Terry (sevice managers) office go see him" So i burst into Terrys office not knowing at the time that Todd was giving in his resignation and Todd goes "ok then i'll be there in a minute"

So i go back down the back and i get closer to the car and i see this white thing hanging from the exhaust. This whole deal was just a plastic bag that got stuck to my exhaust! I felt so dumb!! Why didnt i think of that?!!!

    • interestingly enough, i found out the answer is yes. doing a flush did fix my recurring A/T light. it might have been because of the trans filter: but that doesn't really make sense to me. the fluid/filter was super dirty. would that increase the pressure in the lines and trigger an A/T light? does the car even have a way of detecting that? i have no idea. i've done 200+ miles after the flush and no A/T light. if my A/B solenoids went bad, i would think the light would've come on. shifts and drives way better now though...at 2k rpm instead of 2500...no hesitation and downshifts when i want it to. 
    • I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD
    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
