Interesting. That brian88 guy keeps pumping out new threads. Something must be up with that. I guess we will just have to wait for Steve to make an adjustment to it.

I put 2500km on my car within 2 days after buying it, then a further 2000km over the next couple of weeks. I wouldn't even call that bad.

You obviously didn't look hard enough: http://www.commbank.com.au/about-us/careers/ If a position is available, it will be listed. If not, then you can't apply. Lucky I'm with Westpac... and in Brisba

Is this supposed to be a trick question?

I think you put it into a container like an empty 5L bottle or something, and take it to any mechanic and they 'should' take it off your hands.

DON'T put it into your garbage bin, unless you want to be shot :P

its not a trick question! im just curious, because i know there are heavy fines associated with this if one was caught!

i just hope that i don't get charged by the mechanic for disposing it.

Don't know if they're still there but this was quoted from OzHonda...

You can dump up to 20 litres at no charge at Auburn Waste Depot in Homebush Bay

Up here we have a chemical waste pickup every year (6 months really, if you include Lake Macquarie's one too), just fill your boot up with oil, oil filters, batteries, fertiliser etc and drive it to the council depot, pop the boot and they get rid of it all for you, at no charge.

Means you need to stockpile during the year, and they won't accept more than 20L of any one product, but I don't tend to do 5 oil changes in 6 months so thats not really a problem.

also, alot of waste disposal facilities (dumps) have a spot for used oil, it will probably cost you to dump it though

No, if the container has not been opened, it is good indefinitely

motor oil does not have a documented expiration date. Under optimal conditions, the product is stable for an extended period of time and can be used as long as the American Petroleum Institute (API) rating on the label continues to meet or exceed the requirements listed in your owner's manual. If the rating is still current, shake the container before use to blend any additives that may have settled.

Therefore, i order you to GO NUTS! :lol:

dude.

a WBO2 can be used if you have a stock ECU, provided that either;

you leave the narrowband one in there and mount the WBO2 elsewhere

OR

if the WBO2 has narrowband emulation that is supported by your ECU. (you can then ditch the stock narrownband)

and as i have said before, the 0-1v gauges are a complete waste of time, they will tell you either rich, or lean. nothing else, dont bother with it.

You can use a SAFC with your car if you want, but they are fcuking pointless.

I personally am a big fan of the zeitronix system i have... but that might not suit your needs.

What i need is something that can run on the factory sensor

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
