I was driving just before and my car was not runing right...

It would hesitate to accelerate and a funny sound would come from the exhaust (bwaaaa) almost like it wasn't firing or something, the boost stayed normal?

This isnt the first time, It doesn't miss fire/pop or anything, it just took allot longer to rev out??

i would check fuel pressure and filter make sure it actually getting fuel there, and when my air flow meter plug was a bit lose i would get the same problem, with inacurate readings from your flow meter this would cause the car to either not run or run really rich. but from the sounds of what you have discribe that so sound like your cat even though it is fine. verry odd.

Mate its about time you took the car to a decent workshop to get it checked out.

All your threads seem to point to one thing - you car has issues, they need a professional to look into.

mate, i have been to four mechanics, two of them rep tuners, two of them searched for the problem with obviosly no success, that cost me $400, $200 each.

so im trying to find the problem myself...

when my car had issues with the stock coils, it sounded like a wrx, ie dropped a cylinder. That very distinctive boxer style rumble.

could be coils i suppose.

have had you compression/leak down tests down? checked timing belt? etc...

Mate you can't even describe the problem in accurate detail, troubleshoot parts or anything.

Im not having a go at you, but honestly people can keep throwing suggestions at you for the next month and you'll still not get it fixed.

There are decent workshops in each state for this type of thing. Failing one there is always a 2nd choice.

Now i find it hard to believe you've been too two reputable workshops - not tuners - workshops. This is a mechanical issue unrelated to the cars tune.

Just a quick one and no i'm not being a smart ass but check there isn't something preventing you from getting wide open throttle, like a car mat or the like? has happened before and not getting 100% throttle opening could be what you're experiencing. Good luck hope you figure it out.

    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
