Re: first time Hello

Hmmm, I can’t see your pics but that could be my phone - so I got the link from your post and checked them out. I also couldn’t see how to grab a code to post on the forum (if they’re working for others), that could be because I’m not a member of imgur or the account holder… That gizmo under the con...

Re: first time Hello

G’day Tim! Welcome to the forum. Where are you moving from to the great Wait Awhile land? As Subyroo said, your image is hosted from a third party site and the link dropped in here with some basic coding if not already provided. Sadly it’s not as easy as dropping a pic directly in here, it’s old sch...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

Ooh that’ll be an interesting job replacing all of that wiring and sensors! I hope it works out for you. I’m still trying to get my head around how you’ve had so many issues with all of the factory wiring and sensors. It doesn’t add up. Hopefully that wiring loom will sort out your issues. Maybe the...

Re: Red Targa Brumby

Got the idle adjusted nicely now, stoked about that! Seems that I may have set the idle mixture too low which wasn’t helping. Filled up today - first tank used since the carb rebuild. At a quick glance I’m pulling better than 10L/100km on my daily commute which is 80% country driving and about 20% u...

Re: Scan tool 1997 Liberty EJ22e

This is a good one, every idea I come up with I then realise that it doesn’t fit the bill. Even the thought of the coil pack being dead doesn’t fit - they usually don’t just kill the engine and go again. I had a coil pack that was dying and it didn’t perform well under load. No stalling though. Swap...

Re: Scan tool 1997 Liberty EJ22e

G’day Mark, There’s a way to read the codes with some plugs under the dash if you’re into some DIY on your Liberty: https://ausubaru.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=14372 Also consider that it could be other things that the ECU isn’t responsible for. Eg: a dying coil pack or fuel pump. How many kms on your L...

Re: Red Targa Brumby

Yeah I’m glad I did the work as driving in the brumby again is awesome but now the carby gremlins are at it again - this time with the idle and powering into the next gear. The issue with powering into the next gear is a momentary lapse of power/acceleration I expect even from the EA81 and I believe...

Neat work with the fuel line! Hijack/side discussion:And how many hives are we taking for that amount of honey? That’s a fair effort! I’m early in my bee keeping journey with a flow hive - I want to clean out the flow frames this winter… anyway, probably should start a new discussion about that! Do ...

Re: Red Targa Brumby

Carb kit put through Redback’s carb. That took roughly six hours from start to finish. Lots of cleaning crud off the carb happened. Then carby cleaner for all the other bits. That stuff is serious business! Probably not good for your skin… At the peak of the rebuild it all looked like this. I didn’t...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

Hey SB, you should be able to repin the factory plugs to reuse them with new pins. You just need the correct tool and new pins - Halteck might be able to help out with those items. Could be a good excuse for a u pull it run to get a set of plugs 8-) That TPS reading is concerning and I doubt a new T...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

Did you tell your dad he’s funny? Other thing to ask: what voltage does the ECU use for the various sensors and can this be changed within the ECU parameters? If you’re going to the point of a donor vehicle you might as well cut down the factory wiring loom, throw that in and call it a day… What’s t...

Re: Silverbullets' resto: Engine, gearbox, suspension

Whaaat?? I’m gobsmacked! I can’t work out how so many issues have arisen like this! I’ve never heard of the intake wiring loom being an issue like this. The first thing that came to mind is the earth straps/wires from the body to the engine and gearbox, and the one from the negative battery to the b...

I hope you didn’t do that work tonight just before it’s off to the dyno tomorrow! I’ve watched these wasps fill the gaps in a crank cam gear on a ledge near my project - amazing how they fill in the round holes as well as the elongated holes! I hope all goes well with the tuning!

Subyroo apologies I locked in that your foz was a 2013 model, not a 2003 model with 13 years ownership. Sad ending but kind of good knowing where your car went, what happened to it and that it (I hope) saved its occupants in the T-bone incident that sent it to its grave. SB, damn straight mate! I lo...

Re: Brumby running rough, shuddering and bunny hopping

G’day Will, I sat on this one for a day or so after initially reading your post as this is a perplexing issue. I have an issue with my brumby sometimes where it feels like spark is cut as the clutch is engaged and throttle applied in the next gear up. I don’t know what causes this issue - but I’m no...

Ooh exciting!

You can only ask about the filming. They may ask to not have any identifying features or themselves in the video - you can only ask! Or get them to do it the way they want it…

Now, make sure you sleep every night between now and then! :razz:
