I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

In addition to drinking my body weight in fine German beer, I got to let the old girl stretch her legs with two great drives:

First drive from my sister's place to my parents' on Christmas Eve: Link.

This route I did along with my uncle in his Mk5 Golf R32. It did take us about 6 hours, but that was with about an hour lunch stop. The R32 lost me for a section on glorious when it was wet, but in the dry I could keep up and on good surfaces I could eat him up. He was quite impressed with the 'old datsun'.

On the way home (boxing day) I went this way: Link.

I was on my own this time, and it took about 3 hours (no stops). Unfortunately it started pissing down rain as I approached nebo and it was foggy as hell, so this was a very slow section. But otherwise, another top drive.

All lives, vehicles, and licences remain intact, and most of the cargo as well (there were a couple of casualties though :D). And best of all - no traffic! Sif take the highway.

waiting on clutch now and engine mounts

other than that we're basically good to start her up

then tehre is the extra things like my gauges/coilovers and some other goodies :D

hopefully cranking her over next sunday

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
