hey all,

just posting this for reference more than anything

saturday just gone, me and the missus were heading down to jamberoo with her family for the day it started out ok until i accidentally closed my back door on a bag strap... i realised what i had done but having that electric mechanism in it, it had already started pulling itself shut... after that it wouldnt open and upon further inspection i found the bag strap had actually gotten itself stuck under the latching mechanism... as to not damage anything out of frustration or panic i decided to leave it... the next day, with a clear head i decided to investigate the problem... the only way to access the latch and motor is to carefully take off the top plastic followed by the moulded hard carpet skin... once that was off i could clearly see the actual linkage that connects the handle and the latch had fallen out... the only thing that i can think of what caused the problem is when the cable went to give the door closer some slack to tighten closed the cable had become too loose and popped the linkage open...

in 15 minutes i had the problem fixed and the skin and plastics back on... so if this happens to you dont bother sending it to a mechanic and getting charged an hours labour its a pretty easy fix

hope this helps

Cheers

Rick

Nice tip. Do you realize that you can use that mentality for almost everything related to fixing the car? All it takes is some common sense, patience and a bit of skill and you can do most mechanical repairs on your car. And i bet you'll do it better than most mechanics out there - since it's your car and you are more careful on your car than anyone else.

But don't take my word for it. After all, I'm just a mechanic...

      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 😂

      Cas issue

      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.
