Silver m35 @ Churchpoint around midday and a grey s1 c34 @Johnston st about 4. Good day for a drive down McCarrs Creek rd, pity I had the wife in the car and l get to many "looks" if I enjoy myself to much.

Sorry for the no show guys, got called in to work and it became to hard with dinner commitments. Looking good in the photos.

I am still running the same set from october last year, they have done a texi, a day at wakefeild and have heaps of tread left. I go for times and laugh at Dave changing tyres and sitting out from lunch because he has none left( just dont tell him I'm jealous of his tyre destroying power )

good I need track day Pad advice.

Turns out I can't read , didn't notice start time of 4.30. I'll come say hello but will have to head home on Victoria Road as I am booked for the evening. ( I'd blow it off but it's fundraising for the school )

Okay so I missed the 19th May ( damn being a family man ) but I will be making the Texikhana on 15th July. This is the cheapest Motorsport fun you can have in your pride and joy. Come and enjoy it legally with nice friendly people. Entry cost first timers: ONLY $35! Entry cost SAUNSW members: ONLY $55! Entry cost Non SAUNSW members: ONLY $75! (join the club, it pays for itself) Plus one time costs of helmet ($90+), license(50) fire extinguisher (30?- everybody should have one in the car anyway ) First timer info . Don't want to have fun? Come and say hello to see what you are missing. Nick at the Feb texi.

Go to Whoa this time or still out ?

I like these two photos, showing what a versatile car the Stag is . Saturday 11th Feb hauling stuff, Sunday 12th Feb- having fun ! On that note Texikhana is on again 15th July. Lots of space, drive as hard you like, blah blah, you know the drill.

Nice work guys , looking forward to it.

In the Stag, should be catching the train but I'm enjoying having it all working.

Duncan on the Harbour Bridge this morning.

Still focusing on the vans?

Paid and form emailed. I was going to help out at this one but realised it may rain and I haven't done a texi in the rain. I'll still help out where I can. RE brackets for fire ext I have one of these and it never comes out of the car ( mostly because I'm too lazy ) http://www.skylinesa...et/page__st__20

Car is now fixed! So in.

now we are talking , the buy price is low already but if we start talking the whole process I am very interested.

sorry muppet at the Keyboard - There is no drop in voltages. ( that I can tell ) but I will try to get another to swap in this week. I have no idea what I'm doing in general, so I'd like it looked at. On the bright side I have learnt alot and gained confidence in doing stuff for myself.

Thanks guys, I would thought I'd see an error message for drop in voltages if the AFM was faulty. It's now booked in at ASR for later in the week, will let you if it is solved.

an update of no success so far. Pulled out the AFM , one of the techs at work re did all the solders ( complete de solder and re solder ). Got the car through pink slip no problems but it failed again while driving to work. Plugged a cable in to check for error messages, nothing. Had the laptop plugged in today while I went for a drive, stalled and again all I had to do was give the airbox a whack to get it started again. There is no drop in voltages on the afm in the logs, so will continue to hunt out my intermittent fault. I'm now over it but will have to wait for funds to send to a mechanic.

so ... went for drive ... problem came back. popped the bonnet, Fonzied the air box and the car started. I have cleaned the AFM again and will go for drive latter. However I think it is time for new AFM. damn.

Okay, fingers crossed, it looks like I have fixed my problem. Cleaned the AFM and Acc today. I am convinced the acc was the problem, due to the level of carbon deposits. Car has done 100k so no surprise. I'll need to tweak my idle speed, sitting at about 900 rpm ( should be 650 ) but I'll wait a week to be certain the problem is gone. See this thread for NEO specific directions. The fourth bolt down the back is a bitch to get out. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/344264-cleaning-the-aac-valve-on-rb25det-neo/ I highly recommend this be done as preventative measure. If you are worried about the skill level required it is very easy, just take your time and follow the instructions. time for a Homer dance .. Let's just hope my car doesn't burn down.

okay tested theory that isthe idle control. Cold start is fine, once it warms up a little the acc kicks in and it splutters, then stalls. It will not restart until cooled down. Off to repco for few bits. The process for the neo is a little different, same idea.

i will try one more time to fix mix my problem, god of rb willing i will be there.

I'm out, Stag is broken.

all best for a speedy recovery Christian.

okay that was a fail. no putty road for me. Some details Car C34 s2 rs4s - stock in the engine bay. stalling at idle, hunts around, splutters , then dies. If left for 5 min restarts. if the revs are kept up , no problem. I have changed the fuel filter Changed the air filter. Didn't do the afm today as I have to go out. Do people think this could be the cause? will try tomorrow morning. The above guide for aac clean is for a r33, and the neo appears to be different, plus I'm not comfortable yet doing this job. SO it's off the mechanic because I love giving them all my money.
