Look, if your paranoid.

Dont take the car there. Its that simple mate.

There are plenty of other workshops that people can reccomend (and they have). So its either a case of get in your car and drive 30-40mins for peace of mind.

Or dont drive 30-40mins and stress out about it all.

Its quite simple, and the call is yours and yours alone

open up the afm and check the solder joins. for some reason just about every soldering join in the cars are dry solders. u might just have a loose connection in there somewhere. u will need to cut the black silicone off to open it and dont forget to use black silicone to put it back together

i think ive seen a how to in the diy section on fixing afms.

GOOD LUCK

Dave if you want to try the soldiering idea, i'm willing to help. Do you have a garage and some basic tools?

hey al, yeah sweet, i got the needed tools and the garage to play around in.

no harm in checking it i mean ill probably end up getting a new afm anyway, if spraying it with elec

cleaner never fixed the problem previously i wouldnt be set that its the afm.

Tuned by 'ear'... lol that's funny... I have my own dyno and detonation headphones, and usually have Nick listening under the bonnet for knock as well.. Please keep your bs off the forums.

Saliba - We're here most nights and weekends, feel free to pop round and introduce yourself, that way you can have a look at the workshop and see if you feel comfortable leaving your car here. Trusting your mechanic is a big part of business these days, especially with imports and so many 'so called' professionals. Just around the corner from you too. I've spoken to a few people about EAS and haven't heard a bad word said about them, and Al has always been happy, should feel comfortable with them.

Sam.

what do you know of them sky031? any problems? cuz he seemed like a really nice dood.

was helpful and shietz but maybe dats cuz he knew id be doing lots of mods.

He's a nice guy, just some of the things he says need to be taken with a grain of salt.

yeh, fred says a lot of shite....

that "GTSR" he has is shite too....

For those who are unfamiliar with the "GTS-R" it's actually a GTS2 which has been destroyed beyond recognition.

You can resolder AFMs yourself, I had exact same problem. Bought second hand one of here, then checked inside the old AFM and the solder came right off cos the pod wasnt secure bumping the AFM.

Don't go to Nisma.

They overcharge and their work is "average" as well.

You don't need to worry about your car going missing lol, I'd be more worried about the cost!

As a general statement, expect to pay for good work. Its that simple.

Also, do yourself a favour and read the forum guidelines, specifically the part relating to business slander.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
