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

go to DrDrift. One of the best mechanics around for skylines and silvias. I've been going there for 3years :P

call him: 0425 818 755.

Unit 5 / 9 Alick Rd

Brooklyn, Victoria

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

Dr. Drift tuned a mates car by ear. he kinda like spun the bottom end. this is what he told me. i dunno what dr. drift is like

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.

al, hows early saturday or sunday sound?

Not too good :D

Was think, during the week, but i forgot not everyone is bludging and pulling off a sicky this week :no:

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.

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.

mine was the afm...

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

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

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.

yeh im going to open up the afm and see what santa has left me heh

hehe business hours....he's open/there like 24/7....literally...

Sam aka Dr Drift - 0425 818 755

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
