Toecutter

Hmm, the problem did go away for a while, has started up again in the hot weather. Doing it every few times that I start the car, then I restart it and it's fine..

Thanks guys. Is there any way which I can determine if it is the 02 sensor, crank sensor or TPS? Or will I just have to replace each and wait until the problem stops..

Thanks for the reply guys. After the last service my mechanic did say that the air/fuel mix was showing way out on his computer, I just put it down to having a big induction system and bigger than standard injectors. So you think it could be the 02 sensor or TPS? I might try them both, the cheaper one first..

Are you suggesting I change the oil, or asking if I have? haha. I have had the car serviced about 2000k's ago.. New oil.

Hey guys, I am having an occasional problem in my XRT. 02 BA xrt, aftermarket cooler, valve springs, CAI and tune. Every once and a while when I start my car and change from PARK to REVERSE or DRIVE, the whole car violently shakes and the revs drop and sounds like it's about to stall. I try to put it back to PARK and it continues with it's nonsense. I quickly turn it off and when I restart it, everything is fine. It has done it a handfull of times and only does it a couple of times per week, completely random. It has been running a bit rough lately, sounds like a miss on idle, but cruises fine. I recently replaced the coils too, hasn't fixed it. Trying to fix it all up to sell it! Any help appreciated, thanks.

Can someone please take 2 minutes of their time to tell me how to upload photos to a thread? I'm trying to sell my car and want photos to go with the ad. I'm not too familiar with posting photos and it asks for a http address?? And I have tried searching the forums for help on adding photos, I just keep getting "no results". Obviously feel free to move this topic to where ever it belongs Thanks guys

Are the HID kits expensive to get wired up? If not, I will buy one. Or can you just wire them up yourself?

How much does it cost to get one of the HID kits wired up to use?

Do HID kits not blow?

Hey guys I have bought 2 sets of expensive 'phillips' headlight globes in the last 12 months, they keep blowing. Random sides just keep blowing. When I install them I wear gloves and be sure to try and not touch the globe, any suggestions on this problem? I have heard it may be because I have a lowered car... but not too sure why? Sick of forking out money for these globes. Thanks

Diff bush perhaps?

Disregard. Took the needle off and put it back on and it's fixed.

Hi guys, have just had my dash out to glue back in the rings that surround the speedo and tacho, as one fell out under heavy acceleration. Put everything back together to notice that the speedo needle is now about 5cm below zero. I can move it back to zero by hand but when I turn the key in the car it clicks back down below zero. I must have hit it when I pulled it out or something? Any help would be appreciated as I am trying to get the car back together in a working order! I have tried winding it all the way up to 200kmph then starting the car, it just winds itself back down below zero again :( Cheers for any help! I will be patiently watching this topic...

I have the behind foglight CAI and no light in, good ram air effect. I do want a grille to cover the hole though but cant think of anything..

Hey guys, I have been using a cleaning product recommended to me by the local autobarn... I believe its a silicone type spray, it keeps leaving a greyish layer of filth on my dash, I can never get my dash looking neat and clean. It looks shiny when I first spray and wipe but then dries and looks like crap. Have tried armourall and a few others, just wondering what other people use? Also, any tips on cleaning the interior glass? I bought some supposed "streak free" cleaner and a "streak free" glass polisher, low and behold I HAVE STREAKS. Cheers

Can someone please Pm me if the ETM oil line group buy goes ahead, I'm hardly on here anymore. Thanks

We should have a group buy for the replacement turbo oil feed lines, unless someone has already suggested this...

Nah I had it on the right way, just vents a little bit of air but flutters heaps still

Mate how do you get your stock BOV to vent like that, I did the mod and it still flutters HEAPS and only vents a tiny bit.

My fuel usage is weird, here is my story. I have an xr6t 317rwkw, same mods for about 6 months, and with my driving I always get between 400-440km/tank. Recently I smashed my driver side driving light and took it out completely, leaving my pod filter exposed behind the hole (rapid CAI). Since doing this with the same everyday driving I have always done I am now getting over 500km per tank.. The filter being exposed is the only thing that has changed and I don't understand how this would reduce fuel consumption... Always run BP ultimate too, nothing has changed there... Any ideas? (not that I am complaining!)

Yeah no worries, thanks mate. So yours is vented to atmo? Can it be adjusted to plumb back?

Hey guys, I'm running an xrt with 317rwkw, rapid cold air under battery, rapid cooler and piping with no BOV. I'm thinking of giving a BOV a trial to see if I can notice any difference in lag etc. I'm having a look at the ones Plazmaman are offering, adjustable. Is anyone here running a similar setup to me with one of these BOV's or similar? I'm after a video or sound clip of what it will sound like with similar mods.. Cheers

Hi guys, a quick review on a new ipod cradle I bought, the belkin tunebase fm cradle- charges your ipod and is an FM transmitter. Well- IT STINKS. I got it on special at JB on the weekend for 116 bucks, and I regret it. The cradle looks neat, fits the interior of the XR well and charges the ipod fine, however my music sounds like you are listening to a really crappy radio station, complete with heaps of static and engine noise. This model lets you choose whatever radio station you want to broadcast it on, and I have tried the whole range and cant find a good station. Also, it seems to be getting some interference from the dashboard controls, as it plugs into the ciggy lighter and when I put my hand in between the dash and the unit, it seems to get clearer. This model also has "clearscan" function, that is meant to tune into the best channel available for you, but this does not work as described and tunes into a crappy frequency with heaps of feedback. "Clear balances sound" my @ss. I would strongly suggest testing one of these before buying one. I have decided to keep it for its ipod charging and still run an AUX lead aswell- so in the end it was a pretty expensive ipod holder :( Let me know if anyone is running one of these and thinks higher of them, maybe I am doing something wrong...

Awesome result, good stuff.

haha geez! that is impressive.. Yeah I was actually wondering what the hell I would have done if it was a manual.
