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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
