I thought it was too but I went to erd this morning and it was stinkin, Cooler when i got back to the switch...Go figure. >_<

Not the kind you sell :P

Thats cause people know that if they buy it off me then they will get you when they need to fix it :nyaanyaa:

Word of advice people. NEVER and i mean NEVER have a solid metal gear knob in queensland!!!!

Just jumped in the car and received 3rd degree burns on my palm!!

time for a change me thinks

I need to invest in a windscreen sun deflector thing. Got in my car this afternoon, and apart from 50'c heat coming out of it, I noticed a little bubble on the dash :(

I just realised I may have run into you before, have you bought through Core Computers?

just keep a pair of baby socks in the car, fits perfectly over the gear knob and either stops it from getting hot in first place if you remember to put it on when parking, or protects your hand after the fact if you forget.

im thinking you use it american pie style...

then im thinking baby socks cause thats all you need...

nah thats what i use the footy socks for

Stupid boost leak...... I think Martin's right, exhaust leak before the turbo, my money is on the turbo manifold gasket not seated properly.

Fun weekend ahead...

Lads.

Downloaded Unstoppable, Dinner for Schmucks and Burried, so will make a long evening off watching that.

No work to get up for in the morning so can be a late one

Out of beer and bourbon though, so it's going to have to be a dry one.... ghey

On a side note, fair few cops out tonight. Were out in force. Spotted nearly a dozen on my drive into Carina and back.

ravi i'll come around on the weekend sometime for you, plus i got stuff to drop you!

Aircon is awesome to work in, you guys that are mechanics should really work in an aircon'd shop, we don't get above 24 degrees. Old shop was better, 30+ degrees outside and we could keep that place at around 19 degrees all day.

I learnt the lesson with the metal gearknob, now i run a plastic nismo one instead, much nicer on the hand. The rust bucket is running so much smoother now, new gearbox mount finally fixed the vibration i got under hard acceleration.

Sweet mang, that'd be awesome. Dunno when I'm free yet though, but I've got about 3 hours free tonight after work so I'll see about lazily getting into getting all the piping off to save some time later. And yeah keen as for that 'stuff' you got ;)

P.S. Morning mangs!

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
