my car makes a whistle noise at about 3500 rpm and a bove and when i take my foot of the gas it makes kind of a sneezing noise the higher i change gears the louder it is.

Your running a pod filter arnt ya

my turbo timer won't let me lock the car whilst it's counting down...kinda making it obsolete. I've found out that they're a little useless, as my EGT will give me a better indication of when to turn the engine off. My turbo timer is mainly used for it's other functions now (HKS Type-1).

Found another issue - I can't adjust the height of my steering wheel. The locking thing which you move down to move the steering column up and down is stuck. I might have to use some ingenius ways to loosen it...

Auto right?

Both my jap cars have done this (supra and skyline). I think its just so you know your in reverse, like a truck reverse alarm :D

I think its factory in autos.

This confuses me rather than annoys, but :

Every Time I put the 'line into reverse, there is a loud 'beeping' coming from the dash area.

At first, i thought it was a parking radar or similar, but no-matter how close I reverse to a wall, the beeping is constant.  

(This is only audible inside the car, but is at the same rate as a truck reverse beeping)

Grr!!!

i i go 2 drive my car, with in 5 minutes of it first running, when you put the clutch in the revs go up 2 1500

goes away as soon as its warm,

This also happens in my S13 SR20det Silvia when cold. I don't think it's a problem, it's normal when the car is cold.

I know you meant this as a joke, but a friend of a friend (I have met him, he's not one of thise non-existant friend of a friends) bought a SW20 MR2 off a Japanese lady who was sent the car by her son, and got $2 grand off the price cause she thought the blow off valve sound meant that something was wrong with the gearbox!

Hmm, it actually seems kinda harsh now, ripping off someone who doesn't know about cars... :) O well, seemed funny at the time :(

mine has the same thing but the japanese owner has pulled out the plug to the little grey box under the dash

EDIT - it still makes it it was the speed warning that was unpluged along with the headlight buzzer

My GTR 32 does the climate control bit and now the front wheel torque guage on dash moves as if appliying torque to front wheels, but with no hard excelleration, it never used to do this unless it was supposed to when excellerating hard, i have new tyres and profiles are all the same. Has enyone experienced this, it basically follows the tacho??????

Does anybodies AFM to TURBO duct suck closed at resonable boost?

Jees, wouldn't it be a great idea to replace the rubber duct with an alloy one to eliminate any sucking closed....

Well, have I got an deal for you.

Check my sig

i am my cars turbo timer, like a tight arse, i take it easy on the last few kays approaching destination and then before exiting the car i let it idle for 1-2 minutes.

Here in sydney we can get fined for leaving our cars running without owner/passenger in the car, also get fined if we leave cars unlocked while paying for petrol at the counter.

F#!@& talk about revenue making schemes.....

    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
    • House of Fatz dry dock needs a clean sadly one of the long time stables is leaving this weekend   see ya mr purple
    • Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
