Not long now

Massive thank you to skymera for the mani and down pipe

Going to fit them tomorrow then all I need is a centre section then the end is nigh

 

[karlj]

and she runs

But not for long, turns over revs climb the she just cuts out

 

[MicraPRO]

Idle control problem maybe mate?

 

[jk9194]

Could be...
You put ga15 tb right? If its not work then why can't you try out on Micra tb?

Is alternator and belts are ok?

 

[karlj]

Don't know

I've got a video to upload later though I doubt it'll be of any use

It's got a stock tb on and I never had any problems with the ga15 until it suffered the dry joints problem

is the fuel pump working properly? It could be bringing the pressure high enough on priming when you put turn leccy on, but not running when started

 

[karlj]

Did sound a little dodgy

 

[Enuo]

Did sound a little dodgy

see if you can borrow a known working one (Cough cough motty cough)

 

[karlj]

No ill just replace with an upgrade

 

[karlj]

In other news....

Had a message from the bloke selling the catch can saying the one I ordered (over a week ago) wasn't in stock, so now ill be getting a square silver one some point this week

 

[Enuo]

known working is just to borrow so you can see if thats the problen

 

[karlj]

It does sound horrible

 

[karlj]

Should of carried on....

I'd rather just replace it and know it's not that and replacing with an upgraded pump it'll support future mods

 

[karlj]

To save faffing around I'm going to replace:

Fuel pump
Fuel filter
HT leads
Rotor cap
Spark plugs

I'm also going to drain the tank and flush the fuel lines

If you can afford it get a fuel filter with a larger diameter, less resistance to fuel passing through and will last longer. Ideal if you plan upgrades. Almera gti fuel filter maybe?

 

[karlj]

Going to be getting a r33 gts-t pump , will stick with oem filter for the moment

stock fuel filter handles 160bhp here fine. there are other things in the system more restrictive where the money is better invested.

Such as?
(sounds obnoxious but I'm just genuinely wondering what's worth upgrading)

 

[pollyp]

Wrote a list for what I did to reach a reliable 160bhp for my application

[karlj]

Had a present turn up today....

Obviously I wasn't the first to have a nosey

Flywheel?

signature...please ignore anything I say...when using my phone it is either bad grammar or rubbish spelling.

standard 8kg 3-piece flywheel from a 1.3L redrilled with a larger PCD for the larger 200mm pressure plate. woulda preferred a 1-piece flywheel cos that could've been lightened but have sold that to r-reg beforehand and this 3-piece was what I had.

 

[r-reg-sr]

 

[karlj]

Still have the running issues but I had a quick drive any way

Also going to be picking these up Sunday

 

[JoeK11]

Keeping it now then?

 

[karlj]

Yes and no

just want to get it running properly

 

[frank]

Yes and no

not like you, to be so indecisive karl

 

[karlj]

I can make my mind up, sometimes

 

[SirChris]

[karlj]

It's Karl

Thanks for the offer but I've got a spare tb

 

[Enuo]

Have a look for air leaks after the MAF if its going to be an air leak... it'll be air the ecu isn't getting a reading for.

[karlj]

Replumbed the c/c and that's helped a little, I've got a video I'll upload later

 

[SirChris]

Sounds as if you have a pressure build up somewhere.

[karlj]

Haven't been near the car today due to meeting up with Scott and then picking these up...

All have varying degrees of curbing, but with 3 near new tyres and they haven't cost me anything who cares

 

[MicrAde]

15's? Bargain

 

[karlj]

Yep

15x7 et35

 

[MicrAde]

Yep

15x7 et35

Sweeeet Freebies rock

 

[karlj]

That's the only reason I got them

Had explain to the missus (who is getting pissed off with wheels) that even if the wheels ended up being scrap i'll still make money from them

 

[MicrAde]

What suspension is Charlie on in the pic above (jumpleads) Karl? Looks good

 

[karlj]

That is...

Front: stock k11 shocks, matiz 35mm springs

Rear: corsa b shocks, cut stock k11 springs

I was going to buy some more 80mm springs but at £50 each and they snap in under a year of road use I thought better of it.

I like it a lot. Pity Charlie isn't driving yet for some feedback on what they're like. Are the front springs captive or have you had to tie them in?

 

[karlj]

All captive

Fronts need to settle and I need smaller tyres

Had a little drive after jump starting and it felt ok, can't really give good feedback until I hit the open road.

tbh I want stock suspension again (for good reason)
