How did you go with it?

Sounds like my senator, been a pig to start when hot lately and then just stopped with no injector pulse or spark. Will put a new dizzy in next week

Sorry only just saw this. I hit the metal lid with a wire wheel in my drill

Just updated that post if you want to see how I did it but it came out alright I think

So finally made some progress on repairing the spare dash I have. Its come out reasonably well with some slight raised edges but we are talking millimetres. Note I don't know how you would fix this properly in the car to be honest, it really is a dash out job. So I picked up this 15I senator...

As has been said its a solid piece of steel underneath. Its bolted in at the back and held in by two plastic tabs in the front which is screwed in also. The plastic breaks and the metal doors bends back ( its bolted at the rear) towards the screen NOTE : Gluing the pad back on or putting carpet...

As has been said the pad is glued to a metal plate which is over the airbag. This plate is what bends open. In no way does gluing the pad to the plate stop it working Having just bought a spare dash in fixing this out of the car. The issue is as most that I have seen is the plate above the...

Well I guess senator 943 doesn't exist anymore. Unfortunately its not a 25I as I had hoped but I will try to fix the cover and see if I can get it colour coded to rest of interior.

Yep only two screws and you only need the grill out to access it

That's how mines installed

Who tuned it the first time around? Willal?:hiding:

Installed new mail order tune and then found out battery was dead ......... so no test drive. Drank beer instead

Sorry took a few days, hope that shows what you are asking

A car that's tuned properly will give you more power and better fuel economy trouble free. However it sounds this one wasn't done well at all.

A front wheel drive hey lol

Looks great mate

I will take some pics tomorrow to show you how it feeds. But fundamentally it takes in air above the radiator and directs it into the tube running in to the air box, the top of the fan shroud block of the bottom of the intake Would prefer this option. If it wasn't a hsv I'd get rid of it in a...

$70 for a newspaper handout lol

Guys, As the title states, the fan set up on my senator has been changed to a twin au electrics. What this means is the fan shroud has been removed which sealed the bottom of the intake off and directed air into the air box. Atm its open behind the intake and sucking in hot air behind the...

For $50 haven't got much to lose. If it does work the 15i dash is in perfect condition for someone looking for one. The airbag cover is perfect

Yep that's the same one I got Scruba, works a treat. In all honesty I rushed it and gotten a better finish if id tried. But first effort im stoked As I said before mine has a 25I interior (blue) and at some point its had a 15I dash put in it. Finding another one anywhere is near impossible. I...

Only use genuine TOYOTA air people!!!!!!!

I much prefer when senna punted Prost on the first corner a Suzuka, or when Schumacher took HIll out at Adelaide to take the championship in 94

If it pleases the court Exhibit B on why Ambrose is a tool http://youtu.be/YJ7Snh4pFuo

Ambrose was always a tool. Seems nothing has changed http://youtu.be/9VxEj17VK44

When you get home can you take a pic of the steering cooler. Mine wasn't built that much before yours, cant say Ive noticed one there

No pwr steering cooler, That's the transmission cooler

As Promised, My Radiator and temp sensor for twin elec thermo fans. Only issue I have as the Fan shroud is missing, nothing is sealing the bottom of the air intake off.

Yeah Mate it is I have a PWR transmission cooler on mine, I will throw up a pic this arvo

My missus has a 2010 ST and they are surprisingly good off road. Did a day at Stockton beach. Dropped the pressure to 15psi and she went everywhere the other 4wds I was with went. Ripped off a flimsy plastic guard underneath though

Couldn't park like that at Bunnings, carparks always full lol

If you love F1, go grab a cold beer sit down and watch this. The best 40 minutes of film Ive watched in a long time http://youtu.be/EFUZuMBPq9o

Mine sits on a 1/4 normally but under constant load or harder driving it will go up to half. Although mine has twin elec thermo fans so not sure if they are as efficient. Radiator in mine was put in 2010 but wan to put in a new thermostat when I flush it

Good to see some things don't change. Left the central coast years ago just as it was starting to turn into western suburbs by the sea

Mate I suggest you read consumer law and learn your actual rights. Your rights are any product should last a reasonable amount of time considering it's use, cost and perceived quality. Ie if a 250k Mercedes blew a motor after five years after having all scheduled services would you consider...

Ring fair trading in your state. You are covered by warranty on all products that can exceed the manufactures warranty.

Drove it on three separate trips today and it didn't break down. That's a first for a while. I was getting to know all the nrma guys by first name lol

You would hope not, a letter after seven years of ownership won't achieve anything

My guess is it's a write off. You not only have the panel damage plus what ever else is structural you both airbags also. Adds up quick

All series 1 ve commodores have the nav button, doesn't mean you have it though. My ssv would do the same thing when you would push it
