mmmm i got my rims repaired at alliance....did a sh*t job in colour matching..but repair was good but still not happy in colour matching....i think [Michael] could justify that :/ hahah

ahaha, have to agree with you their, the colour match look very shit on your rims, looked more like poo then a golden colour :(

hey guys

thanks for all the replies.

i think u guys are getting me wrong....

sorry i didnt state this on the first post.

Rims are brand new (msg grey). have not been fitted or used.

just want to paint it matt black. ppl reccomend to powder coat instead of spray painting it if i wan the colour to last (wont chip easily). call up a few place n most dont powder coat anymore or for commercial purposes only....

do u guy know a place to powder coat which does a good job...

cheers.

Sorry forgot to tell you didnt add something in....

LANDSDALE TOO FAR FOR ME!!!!! sorry should say it ealier.

i don't mind going there if the price is good.

dont mind asking---> how much did u get it powder coated?

cos i got quoted prices from $120 - $300 for the set.

    • 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!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
