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.....

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
