so my car has been at the mechanic all day, cant get it to cut out at all (3x15min drives + 45min drive)

what happens? cuts out on the way home!!!!!!!!!!!

has any1 got some GTR AFMs for sale? quoted $400 for pair @ wreckers????

steve wally only has the pink stickered AFMs i need the orange.

just pulled off the AFMs they look i good nick, all wiring seems to be fine i dont have that elec tool to check voltage tho :S

about to clean them now, i did how ever find a small tear in 1 of the vacum lines going off of 1 of the blow off valves! could this be the problem????

i cant find the other end of it tho :S

could this have caused my problem????

doubtful. im no mechanic but im guessing a tear in a vac hose will just impact performance as the engine runs a negative vacuum when not on boost (depends where the tear is I think).... I had the exact same problem as you and the mechanics couldnt get it to misbehave... so I just changed the suspect afm myself to see if it was the culprit and i've never had a problem since...

    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
