Skyline mod & sat nav amp bypass... Gone weird.

by Conicuzn, 26-07-2020, 06:22 PM

Basically, I did the sat nav fix with diodes and resistors, behind the head unit. After I had done it, the sat nav was working properly, except the motorised bit. I dunno if a sensor is ****** or whatever, because it always wants to go further down than possible. It's pretty hard to explain...

Also, I did the stage III skyline mod, wiring in some diodes to maintain fog light functionality, and it all works fine. However, when I was testing it, I heard a few beeps from somewhere, then they turned off.

It all works fine, but the fog lights don't work, and when the lights are left on when the ignition is turned off, all the lights go out. This never used to happen before, but to be honest, I kinda prefer it that way. I just wanna get the dogs working, for MOT reasons.

Any ideas?

Most of you will know he from the green mile as John coffee (like the drink)
He was a great actor and will be missed rip

Hi all! I thought I'd open a projects thread, so I can keep track of the things I have done and plan to do with my Zed! Feel free to make any comments and give your opinions (good or bad)!

When I got here home I found she was too big to fit in my small garage....



...so down came the fence and she now resides on the patio!




Bought a fitted car cover off ebay to keep the seagull muck off (living 200 yards from the beach has its disadvantages!):

Thinking about returning to the fold

by jimxms, 23-07-2020, 05:06 PM

Hey boys,

I've got an itch that I need to scratch. I don't think its sexually transmitted, but it's definitely something I caught from spending too much time with sexy Japanese sorts.

I miss the whole Jap scene massively and as much as I love my Merc, I just cant stand the whole "I'll take it to the dealership" mentality of the owners rather than getting their hands dirty. Then there's the tuning companies that a$$ rape you in exchange for parts that should cost pennies. Carbon airbox for £10,000? nothx

Don't get me wrong, I'm not thinking about ditching the AMG just yet, but I've got to have a project to sink my teeth into. And one that might just become the 'main' car sometime in the future.

So I'm thinking about an earlyish '00-03 GS300/GS430 Sport. Bigger than the my old IS, smaller and less 'old man' than my old LS and the look of them are growing on me now after owning a Merc for a year.

Thoughts?

My Lexus IS200 Sport

by dj0nes, 23-07-2020, 01:18 PM

Hi Guys,

I have brought myself another Lexus

I had one previously which can be seen here http://www.outlawjapclub.co.uk/forum/sho...php?t=8334 and was a member of the site for a while and regretted it ever since I sold it!

So I managed to pick me up a nice Sport version, the shell has done 80k with FSH and the best part about it is the previous owner carried on driving it with a leaky rad and warped the head so it's had a new engine in which has done 18k, again with FSH

I am very pleased with it the bodywork is literally mint I cannot find a mark or stone chip on it even so I am guessing it's been resprayed at some point but there is no tell tale signs so it is a professional job.

First step? Sort out the misty headlights.





Cheeky short shifter install, left over from my old IS.



As it stands

IS200/300 Brake Caliper .

by uncle bob, 23-07-2020, 07:57 AM

The n/s/f brake caliper on my IS300 semi-seized the other day, this was the 2nd time this has happened, so seemed a waste of time freeing it off again.
Looked at the options, here are a few upto date dealer prices..
Seal kit..only comes for both front calipers £90.83
Pair of pistons.....£56.38 pair
Full caliper......£270.00

In the end i went for a remanafactured unit by Delphi, its a respected brand and cost me £67.50
I asked what i thought might be a strange question to the motor factor guy, "is the warranty affected if i paint the caliper" ? glad to say its not a problem as its only cosmetic, Caliper now fitted and no sticking brake or a bad wheel wobble at 55mph.
