QLD Sunday, March 7 - Tech day - Pre Armidale.......

so come, and if your car gets sorted out, then you go to Armidale

 

thanks for the offer Pex.......how about some coleslaw instead?? I am just going to try and stick to a straight bbq. Rob has offered to bring all the sausages, so bbq it is, with a few extras

 

how big a job?

is a replacing a knock sensor?
worth doing it on the day?
if not could some one show me how??

 

If you physically pull the engine yourself

then we can show you how to replace the det sensor .

Seriously, if you get an extra long plenum bolt (check tech section for details) we can mount it onto the top of the plenum.

Not the factory position. but still a working det sensor.

Personally, I'd just bypass with the resistor. The worst type of engine damaging detonation happens at high RPMs but unfortunately, the ECU stops listening to the det sensor from around 3500+ RPM.

The det sensor is really there to protect the engine from 'fred nurks' using low octane fuel then flooring the throttle up steep hills at 20KPH in top gear ...

 

I would like to fix my power steering fluid leak if possible... also if someone could have a look over to see if anything else needs replacing. how much for a center bearing? mines gone so maybe we could do that if we have time toooo?

Thanks guys!

 

Will there be an air compressor available on the day? I need to check for boost leaks. I have the tester but no air compressor. Anyone else that needs a leak test is welcome to use the tester too...

 

yes, we have an air compressor which you are very welcome to use

 

Woot, I'll be there Maree

 

Armidale attendies and Tonto... cos I hear that guy is pretty awesome...

 

looks like I will be able to get there. cant bring the zed but I will prolly be in my patrol work ute with a decent set of tools. looking forward to meeting a few of you guys.

 

you are more than welcome - zed or not

 

Is it going to be raining???

:bash: [TIS]

 

if thats the case

if i bring a 100ohm resistor a soldering iron and some solder maybe some cable? would some one show me how to solder up the the thing?

 

... ahhhh ... the long missing r33k .. 'bout time you came out of the woodwork ... !!!!

... battery charger ... ??? .. will anyone have one available for Sunday ... ????

 

we have a battery charger baz........
and a soldering iron.........
can't control the weather though sorry r33k

 

1Meg Ohm resistor

 

FTW: Dick Smith Part Number

We can easily do that for you.

If you could pick up say 20 of these resistors :
Res CF 1W 1M0 Brn-Blk-Grn-Gld - part number R1548

@11cents each from Dick Smith, I'll buy the others off you (I'm out of stock of these ones):zlove:

 

Let me know if anyone would like an extra pair of (small) hands to help out.... :zlove: of course will be without the zed, but happy to help...
