left work this arvo and was driving up the street and the engine started to die, then come back to life, die, then come back etc...had to be something to do with the piping I thought, so stopped and checked all the connections to find that I had forgotten a hose clamp on one of the joins.

Managed to limp it home and attached said clamp and proceeded to take it for a fang. Boost seemed to be building pretty slowly and I thought...I know you get a bit more lag with a front mount but this is a bit much. Anyway...gave it a real bootfull and it started coughing and spluttering and died when I came to a stop. Had a look at the piping again and found the SECOND clamp I had forgotten altogether.

Luckily I had taken a tool kit with some clamps in it and was able to fix it on the side of the road, so is now all good.

Gave it another bootfull on the way home and there is a definite improvement.

Only problem I have now is when I get to about 5000rpm it start to pop and miss, but it was doing that after I fitted the dump pipe the other week, so I think I need to change the plugs or at leas re-gap them and then have the SAFC retuned.

only a very small amount...boost prolly comes on about 3 - 400 revs later or so

ahh... just curious as to whether it was noticeable, as i've never driven mine without an intercooler as it came with one. in fact i've never driven a totally stock skyline now i think about it.. hmm..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
