hi all,

just wondering how to remove the chrome door protector that runs all way along the side of the door (on coupes). I've noticed this on 2 silver coupe and think its probably an accessory that they install in japan. How can this be removed without damage to the paint?

cheers

I just peeled it off and got onto it with some bug and tar remover to remove the glue residue. It was a bit of an effort but well worthwhile... those things are uuuugly.

Inspected closely and gave it a polish afterwards and the paint looks perfect.

that's exactly what I meant.

so its just stuck to the door with like a double sided adhesive tape?? yea they are rather unsightly but i guess it does help if you arnt the type to look carefully before opening the door.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
