top day thanks pete!

i might learn the art of skid control sometime in the next 10years.. but until then you can find me on the black stuff.... or at least on the brown stuff next to the black stuff.

c'mon steve! make with the action pics! There seems to be an awful lot of parked cars there!

so I take it everything went well.

NOW I WANT SOME SIDEWAYS PICS!

Fkn fantastic day Pete! I had an absolute ball, except for the bit where I popped a piston in my wife's Forester. My balls are still intact, but every night is a new adventure. I've hidden all the sharp knives. :lol:

It was great to meet and catch up with you guys/gals from this forum. I've gotta say it seemed like we had a great bunch of people out there.

What I found most enjoyable was the complete lack of the whole "them v's us" shit that seems to happen when you get 2 different bunches of car enthusiasts together (like Subaru fans and Nissan fans). I think there was a healthy respect of everyone else's rides out there, regardless of the the badges. I know the guys in the WRXs really enjoyed the day and have been raving about it on the club forum.

Thanks again Pete. Top day was had by all..(except my wife LOL).

Cheers,

Ben

    • 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!
