Newk, some really excitign knowlegeable stuff you've posted here. My car exhibits exactly the same doozy that wogs' car does. Might have to see ya during holidays (last exam is the 20th), so if you're free :cool:

youd probably do better with wogsrus touching something randomly and fixing it :thumbsup:

my brother handles all mechanical stuff, i handle the electronics side of things, less physical work for me that way!

besides, you dont learn anything unless you do it yourself!

Hay guys, i think it might be my stock fuel pressure reg.

Ages ago, when i got the aftermarket malpasi one, for some reason i could not run just the malpasi one, it would exibit thesame issues as it does at the moment, surging ect.

The solution was to install the stock one in series with the malpasi one and the symptoms disapeared. SOOO it looks like i might need to get a new one to test.

HOWEVER the car starts great now, no idea what happend. LOL.

WELLLLLLL

it's not the fuel reg at all, tried one of a running car, BUGGGAA, back to teh drawing board.

I wander if it is possible for my cam belt to slip a toth, i swear that last night i herd it backfire through the intake, is that possible and if so what would couse this.

The car is bad, it's basicaly stops between 2500-3500 rpm on boost.

Going to do more logs this afternoon on the way home.

Any more ideas guys.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
