DO NOT USE CARBY CLEANER ON YOUR AFM, IT LEAVES A RESIDUE, USE A SUITABLE ELECTRONICS CONTACT CLEANER SUCH AS "CRC- CO CONTACT CLEANER"

Ok-thanks for the advice

I'd recommend to everyone to change their own plugs[instead of getting a mech to do it]

that way u know they havent been overtightened

one of mine was & the ceramic cracked when removing it

real PITA stuff to get out from underneath the coilpacks

use a can of compressed air to blast out any crap around plugs before u take em out & u know nothings dropped into engine

DIY the go

basically did a complete service...

changed oil

oil filter

fuel filter

and plugs

Problem solved-changed the sparkplugs :(

also thoughly cleaned out AAC valve on the same day but i think it was the old plugs causin the problem

two of em were lookin pretty haggard with a yellowish buildup of crap around em

now she's runnin smoothly again :)

Gee these motors are VERY sensitive to spark. As I am running LPG only it is even more sensitive to spark than running on petrol. Changed to NGK Irridiums 1.1mm factory gap a while back but I/m looking at closing the gap a little to 0.8mm to suit.

However they reckon not to close the gap on these factory gapped Irridiums as the end metal bit could be damaged or break off??

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.

      It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.

      Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
