From a couple of days on,the stag been feeling a little slow when I accelerate from a complete stop,it feels like it takes a couple of secs.then the revs go up ,the turbo starts to boost an everything goes normal ,until next stop...

Anybody had suffer that before???Any idea or info is welcome...

ditto.

manual - slipping clutch

auto - bands need adjusting / need a service with new trans fluid

worst case, the torque converter is on its way out.

.........

to add some humour 'slagish', does it spit a lot of slag at other cars :)

i know you mean 'sluggish' ;)

Ok...sorry for my mistake...my car is a bit slug going out the lights...it's auto,and took it for a ride on tiptronic..all felt ok...

BTW where are you in the Se Burbs,Stagea _Neo?Good to see more stags in this side of the planet :)

Do the series 2's have a cable throttle body or drive by wire?

I have a similar issue with the M35, the ecu isnt giving me full throttle at low revs, it opens fully at around 3000 revs. I am planning a manual throttle conversion, I just hope the ecu doesnt get upset.

Scooty - mine is the same ever since the highflow was put back in. Notice it quite a bit - especially when cold! Hit 3,000 and it is a treat

Are you using a boost controller? If not try bypassing the solenoid with the ten minute boost mod (post #40):

Or a new set of copper plugs

Yep in the se burbs, near the burv.

Apparently there's a silver s1 or s2 near nunna swimming pools, my mates keep thinking its me :). Other than that, black s2 down Highbury rd recently.

Hardly see any stags out this way.

Back on topic....

Another thought is the vacuum modulator on the trans itself, get under and check for

leaking/cracked/loose hoses. (im not sure if modulator is correct term)

Scotty nm35 - nup cable accelerator, no drive by wire.

RBRyan - possibly in snow mode and the light not lit up at the switch on the console?

Or maybe the wires under the console are loose where they connect to the

snow mode plug?

Kidafa - Never known a trans ecu to have limp mode as such.

The main ecu yes. Anyone know how much the main ecu can

change the way the transmission ecu operates?

ie. shift point or engaging full lock up on the torque convertor.

Kiwi - Probably not advisable to increase boost pressure if there is an underlying

issue. Might make things worse.

ie. if it's the torque converter on the way out, it may make it fail sooner.

Trans ECU can go to limp mode if a shift solenoid is playing up, they will lock out of gears etc.

Take it to RVO, get them to plug into it for diagnostics... cheap insurance IMO.

I am in Toorak, work in the city, am out to mt dande a few nights a week, and geelong once/twice a month... See a black stag up mt dande a lot lately.

Do you guys get an indicator on your dash that you are in Snow or Synchro mode?

On the M35 you get the 4 wheel symbol with the drive shafts linking them to show you are in either mode.

    • 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
