Hey Pal,

Having an issue getting into 5th gear in the Red Jett.

Symptoms:

Just not as smooth and slick as before. Stiff and forceful.

All other gears are normal.

Alas, traded in my precious Nissan Maxima STL-250 on this German . . .

Most exciting car to drive. Love the latest tech.

Well, the Red Jett has been off the road for three weeks waiting for Oxygen sensor.
All installed.

I'm gunna do a 0-100 time, and if it is circa 7 seconds, I'm not gunna bother.
The tank is...

Today changed the Oxygen Sensor with this:

Had to re-solder in the Air/Ratio gauge cable.

All is well.

The old one looked an excellent colour. ...

Due to flooding rains, a section of the road has collapsed. Road is now closed for months.

Gotta go the long way around, which is an extra 40 minutes.

No, her song was anticipation . . .

Anxiety now for the road (Beechmont Road) that I run up and around. A section has collapsed due to the heavy, heavy rains. Road is now closed, so now I have...

It did cost a pretty penny back then, I remember. 2004.

Tks pal.

Hi Cozzm0,

I will do that, and why do you suggest?

The dudes at M1Tuning want to see the CPU before they do anything. I'll take it out off the Red Jett and
show them next week.

Also,...

The last full dyno tune-up I did on the Red Jett was 2008.

So taking it to these dudes and going to get a new chip set to replace the old ChipTorque unit. Then dyno tune and see the results.

The Red Jett is back after Black Label Automotive magic touch.

These IACV valves are a nasty piece of work to remove and refit.

Josh, had to remove oil filter and the brake master cylinder to...

OK. After 2 aborted mechanic bookings (blame the floods) and one month since last post, Red Jett is going to have its surgery next Wednesday.

Keep ya posted.

Dashboard? At the rear? More like the rear shelf.

I'd use a bolt with large washers underneath, with nut of course. You will need to drill a few holes.

Other idea - cable ties.

Cheers.

OK, just for you.

Yesterday: Took me four hours to remove the last bolt.

I was exhausted.

No hoist, lying on my back under the Red Jett. Trying to get to it from the top. Finally from the bottom.
I want go...

Finally started:

What a job!

It took me three hours to remove two bolts from the IACV unit. Had to remove the power steering tank and oil filter.

Noticed that the 'long' bolt was missing,...

The Red Jett's last dyno run (2007) gave me 95kw. I was happy with that, with mods like JWT S3 cams and sprockets, etc. And with a Fidenza flywheel and GFB crank pulley (which don't rate on a...
