The Stagea was detailed previously to me getting it, perhaps a pressure hose was angled through the grill and spurted it up through airbox, thats my only possible idea so far. :P

Almost certainly the cause. Pressure washers, the natural enemy of the car engine bay...

On my 35km daily trip to work its all up and down hills, it doesnt seem to struggle at all :P just when i try to put my foot down it has an arguement with me, anything (at a guess) up to 50% acceleration it seems to be fine with, ill need to drive it more to be more precise.

Heres a doozy for you, checked ATF this morning, unless the dipstick is lying to me, it is saying there is almost twice as much fluid in the box then there should be, i checked it 3 times with same reading with cold engine. ill do another check in town with engine hot as im having a mate who is more engine friendly then myself investigate if i have any split hoses. :D

Engine running in park? Warm would be best.

Usually good to go a little more than the stick shows anyway, that way you can put a trans cooler in with no top up. Hopefully you have good trans fluid in there, the compliance workshops have been known to skimp. :(

Have you had an auto before? Need to check level with the engine running after you have been through all the gears. If the level is high on the stick it won't have "twice the amount of fluid" becasue it holds 10 or more Litres and only about 2 in the gearbox sump. Oil should ideally be cherry red (unless it has been replaced with aftermaket atf) -if its dark brown its probably burnt (been overheated). S1 should redline at about 120k in second either with kickdown and foot kept flat or by selecting 2nd gear.

Anyway it seems your problem is solved!

Yeah its all sorted guys, many thanks again to all who replied. Its behaving beautifully

Would you believe i have had 2 Volvo remarks already since owning it under a week :)

Its very much worth it with the amount of confused looks i get however, You can see minds racing trying to workout just what sort of car it is as i roll by quietly with a smile on my face ;)

Does anyone know off the top of thier head what the TARE weight is of a C34 1998 wagon is?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
