  1. Yeah heel-toe.

    Put the top half of your foot on the brake. The bottom half give it gas till about 4K then ease the clutch out quickly, floor it to get it spinning well then ease off till it sits there comforably.

    I'll show you if you want? :) Bring your car round

  2. Yeah that's what I mean, unplug and plug one at a time. :(

    It will be white yes. You can also get an 02 tester. Mechanics have them. You stick them in the radiator inlet when you remove the cap and pump it a few times. If you have a stuffed head, the liquid inside turns to green from blue.

    Takes about 10 seconds to check.

  3. Coil packs for sure.

    Unplug each one whilst its running warm. When you find the pack that makes no difference to the way its running, you've found the dud.

    If it were head/head gasket there would be steam out of the exhaust and oil in coolant/coolant in oil

    I bet its the coil packs, one or more is stuffed its a common R32 problem.

  4. It may be nothing to do with the lifters.

    When I had a SR20DET Silvia, I used Magnatec once cause I was poor one oil change. The engine made a racket, sounded like a timing chain rattle, never actually found out what it was but it sounded seedy.

    I dumped it, went back to mobil 1 and it was fine. Bizarre.

  5. I'll update as I go but it started perfectly this morning :rofl:

    Someone else a while ago suggested it as well as a new battery fixed his.....

    Maybe the stock battery terminals are stuffed? I changed mine to huge gold plated ones.

    Either way, its worked for me so far so if its goes back to its old ways i'll be back ,:P

  6. HA HA Die from a car battery, heard it all..... :)

    I accidently earthed the spanner before when I was tightening the +ve terminal up, lotsa sparks, no shock .

    If you're dumb enough not to let a shower of sparks stop u from doing the wrong thoing you probably need a burn to wake you up :)

    I shit myself, dropped my spanner into the bottomless engine bay and hit my head!

  7. * DUE TO CONFLICTING OPINIONS, THIS MAY OR MAY NOT WORK. IT HAS FOR SOME, HASN'T FOR OTHERS*

    This came up a while ago and I have had the same problem since I imported the car 6 months ago.

    Basically when cold the car won't idle up on its own, you need to stab the throttle then its fine. When its warm its not a problem.

    I went through the whole lot, cleaned throttle body, AAC, air regulator, Plugs, packs the works.

    Today I bought a new battery as my old one was shagged, the new one is a Bosch Silver series, pretty bloody big, just fits on the battery tray and had to make up new terminals and such. Cost $99 on special so not a cheap one.

    Result? Car fired up straight away and idled up perfectly! No throttle needed and it turned over in half the time it normally takes. I have'nt driven it for a week either so this was certainly the test.

    It seems the ECU needs max volts to operate the cold start properly. The previous battery in there was about half the size of the new one, its a brute!

    Definately worth the 100 bucks as I think many cars, especially with most of us running fairly serious stereo gear can benefit from the biggest battery we can fit in the space available.

    Good luck!

  8. Bazelinez, Please sell the r32 and buy a v8 ??

    ahhh no,

    the sound of a V8 rocks, there's still 98% of the car I hate.

    The R32 still sounds good, just not GREAT! that's 99% of the car I love.

    Plus spending $65 a week on fuel is already too much.

    That shelby in Gone in 60 seconds sounds mint..... Ohhhhh *cracks a fat*
