I'm taking it to the mechanic sometime this arvo.

Two weeks ago I had an idle/stall/jerky acceleration problem the mechanic cleaned the AFMs and it was all good... now the jerky accel thing again I read the AFM post on this forum about dry solder joints being the problem. I was about to open up the AFMs to have a go myself, but dad said his mechanic friend can have a look first... so I'll keep u guys updated hehe

I didn't trust the local mechanic so went ahead and did afew things myself. Cleaned the AFMs, opened and resoldered the joints, changed spark plugs (they had iridiums already in there doh). Ryco air filter. Still same problem.

Where the heck is the gtr battery located? lol

Took it to CRD today, man they have a tonne of skylines there! An R35 was being dyno'd the sound of that thing is SWEET!

Will keep this updated, hopefully it isnt coilpacks lol

Problem solved thanks to CRD.

Had a vacuum hose to ?regulator split causing lean running replaced.

Knock sensor gave error codes, wiring upgraded, timing reset... they power ran it on dyno and it was all clear.

A bit pricey but I am very happy with the service and will gladly give CRD my business next time.

Cheers,

fibbo.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
