If that is the same sensor that gives the stock boost gauge its reading then it's fine. Also does the PFC take note of this sensor?

No it's the one on the centre of the firewall, not the one on the drivers side that sends a signal to the gauges.

Funny looking flat black thing on the brass bracket. I've known a few to have the hose on the under-side break/come off, it wouldn't throw up the check engine light with a PFC but will make your car run like a load of bollocks.

are you sure dan that it will influence the PFC?

as always I'd advise looking at what you have changed recently. in this case Z32 and manual conversion and PFC. now, are your sure the wiring for the Z32 + stock AFM is still intact and ok? If it was shorting out it may have melted some wires further down towards the ecu so it may not be imediately evident at the plug end. watch the voltage at the PFC (via HC sensor check) and then measure it at the plug too with a multi meter.

out of interest was the place that wired up the Z32 the same place that did the tuning?

Well got my car back on saturday. It turned out to be some wire that was for the auto box that was shorting out and causing the timing to jump all over the place. Had occasional increases of 17 degrees!!

Gotta go back to get the z32 reinstalled and a touch up tune tomorrow. I drove it down the coast with a maxed out stock afm and 1 bar of boost and it went great.

nice one abo.

so it was just a bit of dodgo wiring after all. thank god it didn't advance by 17 degrees whilst you were at 6000rpm and full boost down the main straight at EC!! always nice when it's an easy fix :unsure:

    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
