    Tail Circuit. blowing fuses.

    Did you do any dash/radio work lately? Like maybe the ash tray light wire or cig lighter light got pinched some where over time and shorted? Here is the TSRM on the lighting system with some tests to look at on page BE-16 to BE-28 http://groundsky.co.nz/techinfo/TSRM/22_BE.pdf

    Tail Circuit. blowing fuses.

    You can bypass the dimmer switch with a spaded jumper wire once you figure out the power wire and the wire that runs to the lights to eliminate that as a possibility. Might be worth pulling the front running lights to further help narrow down the location of the short circuit.

    Oil coming from between head and block after HG installation

    I do not know about reusing the head gasket. I have no experience with Cometic gaskets except for what I read on here. I know people have done the same thing you have done (forgot to remove the rivet) if that is what is going on. Maybe someone else will chime in to help you on that...

    Did you remove the rivet from the headgasket if there was one?

    Tail Circuit. blowing fuses.

    I would start by looking at the bulbs and sockets.. Sometimes the tail light sockets get to hot from sitting with your foot on the brake with parking lights on for long periods..This can make the insulator part of the socket brittle and cause a short if it fails. Just something to look at...

    Are electric fans worth it?

    It's about moving air, which means transfering heat. The more air you move, the more heat is transfered. I think a 10 bladed fan clutch with a shroud, powered by a 7m will move more air than any electric fan ever could reliably. It is also pulling air through not only the radiator but the...

    I'm retarded or something

    I can take my switch apart and take pictures if you guys want to see how I hacked the switch.. No wires were harmed or hacked during the modification.. The auto off function still works (unless I let the turbo timer count down after the door is closed). I am kind of wondering what the...

    Compressor Surge...IC Pipes or Bad BOV??

    ^^^ Wow I suck at math... Let me correct this.. It is radius, not diameter x 3.14 to get sq inches.. :slap: It would actually be: 1.25 x 3.14 = 3.925 sq inches 1.00 x 3.14 = 3.140 sq inches So there would actually be .785 sq inches of air that gets forced back out the turbo...

    Compressor Surge...IC Pipes or Bad BOV??

    It makes sense when you break it into square inches... 2.5 x 3.14 = 7.85sq inches 2.0 x 3.14 = 6.28sq inches That is an extra 1.57sq inches of air that has no where else to go except back out through the turbo..

    rebuilt engine, now problems. HELP!

    I don't think that plug is the knock sensor wire, but I am not positive when it comes to N/A's. Look at my sig to to figure out what is causing the code 51 and how to fix it...

    Do your own oil changes!

    I have seen this type of thing before where the filter was so tight the metal filter wrench actually crushed the filter trying to remove it, I ended up driving a screw driver through the filter itself and using the screw driver as leverage.. It worked, but what a PITA.. Glad you got it off.. :)
