    Front Brakes Locked On..

    in Brakes

    Posted

    I Took my BF2 front callipers off the car at 1500Km (new) and upgraded the braking system. I have just rebuilt the car and moved every thing over to a new bare body shell and refitted the factory BF2 Discs and callipers.

    At first start up and brake peddle test the front brakes locked on and won't release even after the car was turned off, it is almost as if the brake pistons have seized (while they were off the car the were well stored with no moisture).

    I am wondering if this could be an ABS issue?

    Would re-flashing the computer and downloading the factory software be the answer?

    I would apreciate any suggestions.

    Power Window By-Pass On Bf

    in Electrics Workshop

    Posted · Edited by lowfutura

    Does any one know how to by-pass the power window winder on a BF?

    The body is stripped (loom out) for colour change repaint and all panels are off the the body, but can't strip the doors as I can't get the glass down..

    Can I connect a battery or power source to particular wires do wind the glass down?

    dont put the spare on the rear you will get axel bind and stuff the diff when you turn a corner..its not good for it anyway.

    An aftermarket FPV copy for $199 is the go with +35 offset... I drove around for a year before I realised that my factory 18inch steely didn't get over my 8 pot fronts....

    Weird Air Noise When Using Throttle

    in General Tech

    Posted

    Hey guys, I've got an fg manual n/a with extractors etc and I get a weird cabin noise when using the accelerator . Its like an air leak kinda noise, is that from the extractors? Its only when driving or revving the car. Any thoughts?

    Check your cold air Pipping under the Bonnet to make sure all your joins are connected and havn't popped off...

    Repairable Write Off

    in General Car Talk

    Hi Guy's I have just sold mine vy supercharged commodore, looking for a typhoon or fg xr6 turbo.

    I have been offered a fg xr6 turbo which was a repairable write off now fully repaired registered for a cheap price the car has only 16,000 on clock, brembo brakes and 2010 model , should I buy this car and if yes for how much. All view's are welcome . Thanks in advance

    If its an FG XRt and it's got Factory Brembos on it, then it is most likly a cop car anyway.

    I believe when it goes over the pits to be re-registered the repair list is checked off against the car and all repairs are inspected before it is passed.

    How To Do A Successful Run?

    in Drag and Circuit Racing

    Mmm, I thought 13psi cold tyre pressure was a bit low at first too, and it took a few runs to work down to it, but keep in mind that with tyre warm up this pressure will increase by mor than 2-3 psi ( ET streets run around 12 but can go as low as 6psi).

    I constantly kept changing to 4th 50-60 mtr from the line with speeds between 180-190 kmh and only able to achive Max 12.5 second time slips.

    It was only when I wound 3rd out these times started to fall below 12.5 seconds,

    With std diff and gearing, Fastest speed was 198.8 kmh for 11.4 seconds and I think that if your car is running faster than 200.0 kmh, then congratulations your in the tens....

    New F6 Now Ive Lost My Licence!

    in Off-Topic

    Been through it all man, just take the 3 months suspension and get it over and done with.

    If you take the 12 month good behavior and you get done on 1 point, you are looking at 6 months cancelation and you return on probation license with 4 points for one year.

    Also if you lose your GDB ( good driving behavior) 1 point, your licence is cancelled on the spot.

    Driveline CLUNK

    in Driveline Workshop

    Posted

    No, I dont think that it is the Engine mount as there is no mention of low rev vibration in drive at idle.

    I would start with getting the swivle type Blade Bushes checked, these tend to Clunk when worn.

    Put your car in nutural with the hand brake on and rock the car back and forwards to see, or car in nutural on slight hill and roll back slow and pull hand brake on and off while holding button.

    Led Daytime Lights

    in Interior & Exterior Workshop

    Posted · Edited by lowfutura

    I changed my front park lights and rear numberplate globes to blue LED's, same globe and easy as to change.

    Although you could not directly see the blue (led) globe, you could see the blue reflection front and rear.

    Some people in the community frown on the use of blue LED's but I liked the look, but was always at the ready to adjust the on/off position of the power source if I happened upon a frowner..
