Thanks guys, I triple checked all hoses clamps and the AFM, and everything appeared in good working order. my boost gauge seems to be operating in the normal vacuum and boost levels -20InHg and +14psi .

It does have a BOV. Maybe it needs retensioning?? Might be too soft and opening perhaps?????

Gunna try changing the BOV back to the standard bypass shit valve today and see what happenes then. I noticed on the way to work last nite while driving with the headlights off for a change that it didnt do it as bad!?!?!? Maybe the battery has gone again, but seems to coincidental for that, but will keep it in mind.

Blitz>>All vaccuum hoses check ok. cars due for a service soon(100,000km), and a set of cam gears and a PFC, so might be a job for UAS while they fit , tune and service.

YBSLO4>>It was one of the first vaccuum hoses to be plugged on, as its from the Greddy boost control solenoid thingy

Rob>>All silicon hoses appear to be ok.

When you say it doesn't idle... do you mean it searches? Like it bounces constantly from around 400-800? If so i had the same problem, its caused by a pressure leak. Can happen if you have a leak in your exhaust, a leak in your intake piping or either your O2 or TPS sensors are bung. It will definately be a problem with your cooler piping... the problem is it can also be casued if you have used the factory 90 degree rubber bend or 60 degree rubber bend that if you have pushed the piping into it to far that it overlaps the bend it restricts flow and will cause the same problem. SO basically i know you have checked it but it would pay to remove most of the joins and do it again making sure its 100% sealed and that all pipes are flowing properly. When i found the cause of mine it was because i accidently pushed the piping to far into the rubber bend and it had about 1.5cm gap for air to pass through :S When i fixed it i picked up 2.4psi and saved me a lot of fuel and really really bad lag....

When I had my FMIC fitted my AFM decided to do strange things.

When started there was heaps and heaps of black smoke coming from the rear and it sounded like it had huge overlap cams in it.

Removed the AFM, slapped a R33 AFM on for the dyno run, put my AFM back on and it was ok?!?!? Not sure what happened there but something is a little dodgy with my AFM.

XEQTOR; Let me know how you go, as i just finished doin my coola on the wkend, with the same prob.. Did a vacuum leak test, but no leaks... Sounds like it has a killa set of camshafts in it though :D ... Can notice a fair bit of difference even when it isn't running too smooth which is a good sign i guess..

    • Hello everyone. I believe I have s1 headlights but I just wanted to make sure and getting confirmation from you all. Thanks in advance for your help!
    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
