ok guys, i need a hand with this.

as some of you know, ive got a coolant leak for somewhere around my turbo, which i noticed while backing out of my driveway about half an hour ago, is getting worse.

so im pulling apart that side of my engine, but i still think im gonna need a hand with a few things, so anyone out north with some level of mechanical knowledge (*looks at dale*), if you reckon you could help me out, that would be beyond awesome.

i wanna get this fixed before saturday or else ill have to sell my dyno spot, miss out on an awesome day out, and not go to the drifts, fail.

so yeah, would be hugely appreciated, will pay with reach arounds or whatever tickles your fancy if you wish. :)

you can find me on 0408961657

cheers.

SHE LIVES!!!

got home about an hour ago, to find that my dad had infact swapped the coolant feed line, topped up the cooling system, and refitted all the heatshields.

so i refitted the inlet pipe, airbox, hot pipe (which i removed twice again because id forgotten something), refitted the little boost controller dohicky whatsit, macguyver'd a couple hous clamps, crossed my fingers, and started her up.

no leaks, no strange noise (aside from the usual sr noises :down:), and yeah, beauty. so stoked. fairly sure im gonna be doing the dishes for the next month though, lol. its a bit ghetto at the moment, doesnt have the stone tray fitted, and the outlet snout on the turbo hasnt been torqued up, but shes running and not leaking. so im happy.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
