haha, I will try and get some taken tonight...give it a clean first.

My engine light come on the other day after I installed new headlights. (removed airbox and coolant bottle to get my hand in)

Had a look last night and one of the hoses from the intake pipe to the standard boost controller (only controls spikes) did come out, probably came out

when i was moving the afm around.

what would cause this?

cheers

only if you switch on the ignition or start the car with anything unplugged, and as cam said, it will be away about about 10 successful starts. i went to the dealer twice to get it cleared, but one time i couldnt be bothered but then it went away so i just leave it for a few days now............

So how much do you want for the rear muffler?

Given how huge the centre muffler is, not sure how much of a restriction it is, but it would be absorbing a tonne of energy/sound. Would imagine that the bulk of restriction would be in the 4 cats before you get to the centre muffler...

If my memory serves me correctly, you've only got 2 cats Nick.

Dump & front pipe (as it should be from factory). Mine was the oddball exhaust, so don't go by that (dump, 3 or 4 in front pipe)

Plus the two in the exhaust manifolds (headers)... one on each side...

Need to have one in the manifold to be a LEV (Low Emissions Vehicle). These ones are supposed to remove all the nasties before the engine warms up properly..

che?

The VQ25det powered M35's were never a low emissions vehicle.

The PM35 was with the VQ35de and the VQ25dd, but never the turbo.

Pretty sure my exhaust manifold doesn't contain a couple of cats... but I feel the need to have another look now

RAWS Consumer Information Notice for my car states that 3 new cats were fitted at compliance :)

Two have the same part number and I assumed are in the manifolds area and the other third one, I also assume, would have been between the dump and the jumbo mid muffler..

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
