Yeah, not happy Jan. Took it for a flog tonight, all was well then one of the clamps popped off and had to limp it back home. Still have a bit of cutting of my front bar to do also, not heaps, just a touch here and there. Just really can't be effed anymore today, been working on it since 11 :)

yea lol. passenger front quarter is f*kd. need a new one. head light was smashed, front bar is fine but scratched up bad, lower control arm bent like banana. I was doin about 100 when it aquaplained....spun instantly 2 or 3 times, there was nothing i could do in the time it happened...just glad that was the only damage and no one was injured.

Looks like I wont make it either unless I can figure out my problems, Went for a cruise last night and all was fine for most of it, But as I left Ingle Farm I couldn't let my rpm go over 2000 otherwise the engine would stall. I have looked for loose hoses but can't see anything may have something to do with the injectors or the turbo as once it starts to boost that is when it splutters and dies!!

Any help would be great

I live in the northern suburbs if anyone wants to come have a look just pm me :)

sorry to hear Ryan i saw you WTB post and though ah no

outcaast check all hoses coming off the plenum and IC piping sounds like air leak im not sure where from though

when i first bought my car it was in for repairs one day and then when i picked it up within 5 mins a hose poped off and did same thing yours is doing

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
