WA Tech Day, Sunday July 31st

Is it a hard job to change over the knock sensor? i got brand new one delivered today

 

Have you done a plenum pull with the associated bypass?

If not then yes a reasonably big job

 

um nope wouldnt have a clue how to do the action you just said haha damn!

 

Didn't look like I would make it due to fuel leak No 6.
A massive thanks to Jamie who rescued me so I'll be there turning sausages and helping where I can. Looks like a bit of crappy weather coming in but hell, who cares?
See you there guys.

 

ok guys we will have quite a few things to do on this techday, so should be great fun and a good chance to prepare for the upcoming cruise!

if your having work done to your car bring some basic tools if you can, so we have enough to work on all projects at once.....

dont forget to bring a fistfull of cash to get some cheap zed spares as well!

this tech day will go ahead regardless of the weather on the day, so come and enjoy a bit of zed related fun!

 

Unless you intend on relocating it, replacing the knock sensor is a HUGE job!

You have to take off the upper AND lower plenum, and removing the lower plenum involves taking the timing belts off etc. This is not something that should be done in a hurry!

People often tout removing the gearbox as an option to reach the knock sensor, but I just tried this to absolutely no avail. Couldn't even undo the plug for the wire (though I had some aftermarket bits in the way).

No chance of this work being done at a tech day. :/

 

little reminder for sunday, turn up at 12ish, and we will get started.....

rain or shine remember guys, a little water wont kill us, we will just go undercover when the showers hit hehe

heres hoping its a "ok" day

 

remember guys, this is TOMORROW!!!

12 noon start, bbq a couple of hours after that, hopefully lots of cars being worked on, big parts sale, this events got it all!

ONE FINAL REMINDER THAT I WILL STILL HOST THIS EVEN IF THERES A CYCLONE!

so no-ones got a "i thought it was cancelled" excuse hehehe

see you all tomorrow, i will check this thread for the last time tonight so if you need the address still, better call or pm me soon.....

 

what time is it gonna finish

 

no set finish time, whenever people leave lol

 

Currently cutting brake pedals down to fit and popping the clutch in.

Don't think I'll get all the wiring done AND the dash and plenum back in by tomorrow though.

 

I have a small brake pedal for the manual if u are interested can bring along or want to call in on the way through.

 

Would love to come but can't really drive on a Sunday because of my e plate restrictions.
Sounds like it will be a great day!

 

Sorry guys, don't think I will make this - I've decided to give myself a wekend off from work as the last 3 weeks I have been doing 60 hours weeks, and it's gonna be the same the next 3 or 4 weeks.

 

Hi Norm,

I just cut the auto brake pedal down to size. Worked perfectly and I didn't have to disassemble the whole lot! Cheers for the offer though.

Weather today sucked though, so I only got about an hour's worth of work in on the manual conversion.

I'll be at the tech day tomorrow arvo. I'm definitely spending the morning working on my car though.

 

see you all today guys!

 

Looks like the weather is clearing up this arvo.
Get that bbq on and I'll see you soon.

I'm keen on glueing my dash down. Was going to do my fuel lines but they're all new now!
