have they made a nest in your car or are they just going walk about? A glass cup with a splash of coke or soemthing sweet seems to work for me. i have a drink, put the cup down, go outside to do some thing and when i come back its filled with ants that have been crawling around previously.

Just make sure you don't use diet coke :blush:

Not sure whether it's just an urbant myth or not, but aparrently the artifical sweetener aspartame kills ants.

The ants were like a conga line on the charger cable.............. I have a solution.

Ants do not like walking on rubber, i.e. they do not walk on rubber. They will not climb up your tyres, but they found the only other way into your car............ along the charger lead.

So: Wrap some rubber around the lead to block their path, or possibly sit the charger (and lead) on a rubber mat on the ground. No more ants!

Note..... must be rubber, not plastic and rubber mix, not nylon, not silicon, just rubber.

Good luck with it.

I'm guessing the ants are there because there must be a dead spider or some other insect (or even a small dead bird - I had one stuck in my radiator after a long trip :S ). The ants are just having a feast. Find the dead insect (or animal) and the ants will go away.

they're back.

unbelievable.

there is ant dust and spray everywhere now.

I've wrapped the power lead in an old bike inner tube (rubber) hope that deters them.

lol.. are they actually coming up from the ground still into your car or have they setup base in there somewhere...

      I'd be worried about having to parallel park a boat like that. Magnificent car though.

      This car has run before on this z32 ecu can get the part number for you, I have tried with no AFM it didn’t change anything, I compression tested today 140-150 across all 6 cylinders, also set fuel pressure to 43psi. The only weird thing was cylinder 1 plug was black and fouled other 5 cylinders were just wet with fuel. Spun cas by hand and confirmed injectors are clicking

      Since you came here to ask for help, have you thought about answering our questions, that might help us lead you to why it was skipping, or have you given up on getting advice?

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
