    vr 5lt questions

    spoke to the owner about it on Sunday, he wants to fix it up as it's his little brothers car who lost his life in a tragic accident. so i will invest some time and help out with the re-build, will be a slow slog but will get there eventually.

    vr 5lt questions

    it needs to see the inside of a wrecking yard. Fired it up and talk about issues. it's over heating, has no brakes, alternator isn't charging, spewing oil out of the passengers side valve cover, and the power steering rack is complaining all the time. The guy who owns this car is coming over...

    vr 5lt questions

    way back last week we did the tcd check, didnt do the finger on the plug hole trick, but we did line up the mark on ballancer and did see that the dissy was pointing to where it was ment to be. so kinda assumed it was in the right position. The thing that sucks is there is no marks on the dissy...

    vr 5lt questions

    i dont think the lines are backwards. would be pretty epic if they are. fuel goes into the passanger side fuel rail first, then flows out at the pressure regulator, one hose is long, other is short before they hit the steel pipes.

    vr 5lt questions

    im starting to lean towards pump myself, im just looking around at the moment to find somewhere that hires out pressure testers so i can test the fuel pressure, when the car turns on (reds come on) you can hear hte pump, it's rather quiet. when you remove the fuel line before the regulator on...

    no, i haven't checked for error codes, always thought that it had to be running to log any faults. i will read codes and see what it says after i get home today from workies. The history of this car is that it belongs to a friend who has a special place in his heart for this car. we would...

    Tradie Advice area?

    In most cases it is illegal to provide advice to a end user, i.e. it is illegal for me to provide any form of repair advice on any electrical based product or fixture. could be the same with building and plumbing but im not 100% sure, is a good idea though. might be good for other trades/services.

    Vr head unit wiring

    that looks like your areial cable, you can simply cut and put some f type connectors on the end, or solder, but for better quality you would be best replacing from head unit to ariel. it wont affect your radio turning on.
