no worries for the lend of the power tools guys - I wish I didn't already have plans, I would have stayed to help you. Missed Darren too - what a bummer .... I must have left too early. Ah well next time!

Yeh i think i just missed you too, should have got off ma ass earlier and come around! The whole Barbie and work on car thing sounds like a good idea, will have to pick a nice day and not toooooooo freakin hot either, otherwise it will turn into a drink beer and sit on our ass day......... which i'm not saying is a baaaad idea :(:D

lol .... I am sure that is what the day would turn into anyhow .... maybe pick a 35 degree day, we can start at 9am, mod until 12pm, jump into the spa/drink beer/eat barbie/play darts & pool until 4pm when it cools down a little, then back into some more modding until 7pm, then repeat step 2 :D

My latest pet project (apart from my 'leatherette' seats) is to put some 10mm chipboard on the drivers side 'wall' of the boot (behind the lining) in order to mount a fire extinguisher, some spare fuel, spare water and tools. Not a big job, but would require removing the boot skins, measuring up, cutting the chipboard to shape, securing/deadening the chipboard and restoring the boot lining. It is the sort of job we could do to 6-10 Skylines at once if anyone else was interested.

great in theory but as well all know in practice unexpected sh!t happens and it takes way longer then expected. you know that bolt we tried to get off andrew? well we ended up screwing it up again - thank gosh we later had access to vice grips.

DOH! ... I was going to ask you how it went.

And yes, as we have discovered many times it always takes much longer to do than you think - but once we got a template done it would be dead easy to do more.

So, is anyone up for this project, or have another one in mind? I might just organise a day in a few weeks time - I'm thinking maybe 14th October? (Week after dyno day). I would prefer to do it before I head to Singapore .... but could wait until I got back.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
