i have no idea some dude just said that could also cause my car to be reving poor

Perhaps check and make sure all your intake piping screws/bolts are tightened. I had a problem when someone I took my car too forget to tighten them up and so I drove off and it was trying to spool but wouldn't rev over 3000rpm. lol i was like wtf but soon worked it out!

how were you trying to spool, isnt yours n/a michelle?

but if there is any type of leaks around your piping clamps or split hoses the computer will sense it and run in a safe mode and wont let the engine rev. split piping or vaccum hose leaks somewhere can cause this type of problem.

well i went drifting last friday nite (31/7/09) at QR. it was awesome fun. the only thing i broke was my speedo cable. pretty stoked with how tough the car was. was wondering tho has anyone else from up here gone drifting down there. my clutch started to get smelly by the end of the night. was wondering what other guys use from up here. i dont wanna go a twin plate or a triple plate. i dont want something really dera either cause it gonna cop i thrashing all the time. any advice would be good

Don't try to drift with a Twin or even a Triple plate they're not suited for the application unless you're somehow pulling in over 600horsepower and you want a twin plate carbon clutch which wont have as much chatter as a normal twin plate.

Just buy a cheap exedy or china copy single.

They're mostly targetting people speeding through the truck stop exit, trucks speeding and speeding by more than 20kph - I do security and that BP is one of our client so I've chatted to the guys driving the Ute a few times. Good guys.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      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.
