Video

@JohnSDoe-hg1vj I have shot the footage yes. Need to get the video out. I will try get it out in the next couple of weeks.

@@ModorFix Thanks, Dan. Will be waiting.

In the next couple of weeks. I haven't fitted the fascia yet, trying to source one which I can modify ;)

Can you outline how you change them over for the people who see this comment, might help them :)

@@ModorFix sure... The seat is bolted to the rails, like 4 bolts. The back rest is held to the rails by 4 more bolts. Pretty straight forward job. The most important part of the procedure is to not break the plastic tabs. Once broken, you have to replace the plastic trim, there is not really a fix for that. Try not to mess with the back rest inclination while doing the job

@anunknowndude doesnt sound very straight forward lol! I guess people can choose which way to do it now. At least they have the option.

@@ModorFix it's just 8 bolts, I've done it, you just need to be careful... It's one of the simplest jobs you can do., just be careful

That was nearly 2 years ago and it works just like it should now. I think the air bubbles were introduced when I disconnected the pipe and released a load of the old fluid. When I put the new fluid in, no doubt it would have had some trapped air in there.

agreed, I spent ages measuring the correct placement and it has to be right (no S upside-down for starters!) LHT do a template that locates on the indicator czcams.com/video/7RjHHZ7S-do/video.html

@@bigben5246 yes, I follow LHT videos quite a lot. Have done many enhancements to my S2000, but spent way more than yourself, however my objective is to get the car to be the best it can be

That reminds me i need to drop episode 3!

Appreciate the write up Paul. How would you measure the pressure you put on the pedal?

@@ModorFix 🤣🤣🤣 with out special tools you have to guesstimate, after watching all of the videos that people have put on here I thought I would pitch in as I’ve had problems with a customers Mr2 and as it’s not a common caliper on Toyotas as we have in board handbrake shoes normally so most of us don’t actually know about this, I’m self-employed so went back to where I used to work and spoke to the top tech there and he didn’t even know how to do it so he went on Toyotas system and sent it to me, this is copied word for word from the service bulletin 👍🏻

I make these videos how I would have liked them explained to me. Sp I'm glad you find them useful 😀

Anything is possible. But may required welding

Its the simpler opción, swap the rails and be done in a couple hours... those pegs are absolutely necessary

The reason people advise against BOV's is because they usually vent to the atmosphere, creating that whoosh sound everyone knows and loves. However, that lovely air that is expelled causes a mis-match in the ecu as to what the MAF registered coming in, and what is actually in the system, this causes over fuelling. With a standard MAF in place, best to get this style of BOV which re-circulates the air. That's why I went for the GFB. The stock ones recirculate, however they get weak over time and can leak too.

To answer the second part of your question, I am not sure what you mean by "normal" range. However, the main thing I can think of is that the Mach 2 has adjustment on the tension of the spring. This allows the BOV to not open early and hence hold the boost for longer until it really needs to dump

I'm very grateful for your responses! What I meant by "normal" - on the GFB website, they have a "universal" BOV listed for the 300, as well as the MACH 2. So wasn't sure if you knew what the difference was as visually, the look the exact same.

@wishybishy if you filter on 300zx it only shows the mach 2 and the deceptor. To answer your other question, it's a great bov. I have one on the 200sx too. No issues

Just coming back to this, as my 300 is now at a garage being worked on, have you got any videos of how they sound?

I only used them for about 1 year and it was my wknd toy. If you plan to have these on a daily then maybe you have a point. Malian have managed to get a bad name for themselves in recent times with poorly made and fitting products. However, at the time of shooting this video, there was nothing bad to say about the products.

not sure on that one, will have to investigate and get back to you lol! where are you located?

Not sure there is a big enough market for it bud. I have given you all the sizes (I'm sure) in the video. Ebay is your friend 😀

Swap the seat rails, better and you dont need to buy anything

did you use the connects 2 interface withe the patch lead?

Do you mean the resistor?? If yours doesn't have it. The SOD was probably already replaced and failed.

@@ModorFix Thanks for your reply; yes the resister if that's what the little yellow thing is lm not very electrically minded. But my question now is will the £20 replacement SOD solve my silly mirror problem which is so bad it goes all the way forward lol. Or will the unit not recognize the new part. It all looks very dusty and original in there so l dont think it has been replaced if it was it would probably have the resister in it right?

@jenseninterceptor3416 the resistor sticks out of the box if that makes sense. It was the bit I was trying to dig out. The new SOD has a resistor built in (not visible). Buy one of eBay for circa 20 quid, should be a straight swap and work perfectly.

@@ModorFix Thanks your a legend

How can you make it show the date instead of radio / aux?

Pretty sure they are H3 LED bulbs. Mine are from a company called Novsight. No issues so far.

You need the patch lead to make it all work.

Yes but it would be quite easy if you know what you are doing. Just tap in to the +/- wires on the existing socket

Nope. They flash yellow. Thats all the MOT requires. And they are still going strong fyi.

@@ModorFixThat's a great news. One of my repeaters died and I need to get a replacement. For £15 these are cheap as chips. Thank you, have a good one!

It's a cheap Chinese one of ebay and I really wouldn't recommend it. If you want a decent one get a Sony XAV AX3005DB. I have one of those in my Honda Civic Type R and its amazing! If you are kn a budget any 7inch unit should have similar wiring as long as it has the correct outputs

@@ModorFix thank you . What's your bad thoughts on the Chinese ones ? I just need it for reverse camera mainly . Is the reverse camera usability good on the Chinese ones ? Thanks

@modoodle1851 it's perfectly fine for the reverse cam. Sound quality isn't great, you really have to crank it up to hear it, and the mic is useless (probably doesn't help that I have an aftermarket exhaust). Also it takes ages to boot up. If you buy a more modern version with plenty of RAM I'm sure it will be better than what I have. I mean mine is like 3 years old now and I bought it second hand for 20 quid lol!!!

@@ModorFix thank you for the info ... I'll do abit more research on them and see what's decent .. hope I find one for £20 also lol 😂

@modoodle1851 good luck bud

Nooo.. maybe 2hrs. Depending on how rusted the bolts are

Thanks bud, If you mean the camera then no, didn't bother. It gets a ground from the stereo end (yellow RCA)

Omg! That's horrendous. This method should work a treat if everything is new. The cables normally jam up. I need to get new cables for mine again. Probably go genuine toyota this time.

Yes thats the only way you can connect to android auto. You have to run an extension of the unit. Normally comes with the stereo

2004

It's a connects 2 patch lead. You need to buy it.

Glad I am inspiring you to do your own. I wish I had this series to watch when I did mine, I would have done it a lot quicker lol! The seats are Honda S2000. I have a video on how to install them.

It's a huge help. I've got my turbo/intercooler etc. and just gathering a few other bits now. Did you ever do a video showing where you placed the MAP sensor and which ECU did you end up using? Cheers :)@@ModorFix

@enginebreaking6517 the map sensor will go on any of the (I think there is only one) vacuum ports on the inlet manifold. I have a e-manage blue. Going to replace the whole engine, bigger turbo and ecu masters black ecu. Current engine still burns oil, and the clutch is slipping too.

Cheers I'll take a look. Got to do the clutch on mine and run it a little to check all is OK before I turbo, as I've just got this one! EMU Black is the ECU for me I think... Love the vacuum manifold idea btw. Will be purchasing one of those! Hope you make a new series when you swap the engine out :)@@ModorFix

I was planning on doing g one on the engine swap for sure and all the upgrades. Did want to get it on the dyno before I do that, however, that would mean changing the clutch, and that would be false economy considering the engine will be coming out. Although I could put it back together as it is and then upgrade the turbo/ecu as those jobs aren't huge.
