if its still running the idler, which is the lowest bearing the belt runs past if its still set up the way they come factory, thats the tensioner. undo the bolt in the middle to loosen it (dont reomve it) then theres a bolt that comes thru the top of the back of that idler which winds the bearing up ...

this should have been laid to rest, but i just wanted to point out that a major difference between the 1y and the 7750 is that the 7750 has an 'aac' mechanism, wheras the 1y does not. other than that, different facing, not a lot else is different.

theres nothing wrong with nolathane. nolathane is a name, they are a urethane bush as opposed to rubber. neo has solid mounts in his FX and his mini i think... (dont you neo?) a bush is a bush, at the end of the day yes, its designed to twist and flex so other parts dont, so i dont see the problem ...

wow, 90,000km. i envy! my 92 ae101 FXGT has just ticked over 406xxxkm on mostly standard running gear. forgive me for calling you pedantic. imo the best thing if u want to do anything is add and upgrade, not replace. think about what you really want from it.

if u still havnt sorted it, try checking fuel pump strainer, nz has dirty fuel, and fuel filter if not done recently. long story about this one in my ae101 FXGT, those that know the story can have a good laugh. aside from that, throttle position sensor, timing, and a possible spark plug clean/change ...

price to performance, lucas. yes they are messy, but yes they work well. if i knew what were in my fxgt i would say, they bite like a dog with lockjaw, think they are lucas. otherwise genuine.

sounds pretty much like what my problem was. i replaced cap rotor leads plugs module coil, god, almost everything... turned out to be the fuel pump. had a blocked pick up... looked like a used teabag. put another pump in, VROOM. worth a look.

quick question, will ae101 levin seats bolt straight into a ae101 fxgt? do they share the same floorplan? and if so, anyone got a pair in alright condition for sale? pref in welly region. offer me what you have

make sure the cylinder select switch is on the right setting. aye neil

nah, like my car becomes undriveable. unplugging the TPS makes it run better, less repsonsive, flat, but not so missing like. yea, havnt really tested the AFM mite giv that a go. anything is a good idea at the mo, its seriously sick! if someone told me to stick an apple in the engine bay to fix it i ...

sounds kinda like what mine is doing on mid to full throttle it will misfire till it feels kinda like vvt is engaged. but mine only does it when warmed up. so it makes it all or nothing. sad part is, just put a new engine in, to try fixing it ive just done plugs, leads, cap, rotor, coil, ignition ...

well monkey seems to be the word of the moment. sums of some of the posters on this post imo. kyb are better, kyb are more a performance shock, monroe are designed for NZ roads. AFAIK!. this sunday in my spare time working i will quite possibly endevour to find the ACTUAL difference. . .

what makes you say that ace?

Man, Dr X you're a dick. I don't mean to flame here, but personal opinions should be kept out of a technical infromation post. Dick.

the timing on my 20v silvertop is way off atm. what should i advance/retard it to? anyone running anything that seems to work well with the sh*t fuel we have here?

sorry to steal this post. but to answer yur question cozmo the rattle comes from the sparkplug cover, well, accross the head really.

umm, cable drive or electric speedo?

i kno its off topic, but i just put a new silvertop in my ae101 fxgt and it rattles so much it sounds like a diesel!!! also other probs that need sorting out, but yea, just thought id chuck my own problem in here!

my FXGT did that when i was push starting it, i have blown out one of the rear mufflers. might be the same thing. it had been repaired before, and i blew a hole in the side of it. but thats what ya get for having a factory exhaust thats done 404xxxkm. nice carbon build up to ignite.

just got mine to tick over 404,000... cant say it goes to well, its driveable, but its never been rebuilt. smokes a whole lot, but i think it only started getting bad in its mid 300,000's. go the mighty 20v!
