I have a few but none fit down (or up) there properly. I can do it in a minute or two now with my cut down 22mm open end spanner though.

I fitted Whiteline diff bushes in my car today, quite cheap to buy too. It made one hell of a difference too, all the axle tramp is gone and it chirps nicely between gears again, it really tightened the whole back end. My original rear diff bush was totally flogged and was leaking oil.

well on the bright side it will be a good test of banjo sizing.

symptom 1 of too much oil to the turbo will be burning oil at full boost (grey/white smoke)

symptom 2 of too much oil to the turbo is the turbo seal blowing.

If neither of those happen, it's not too large :)

The stock Garrett core will have a restrictor built in so it shouldn't pose too much risk, that said the VQ runs stupidly high oil pressure, I have seen 10 bar on my gauge which I think is it's limit...

I wonder if that had something to do with my issue? Stao told me to drill mine to 4mm.

That seems very large. I did mine with 3mm (think that is what is was, was more like find drill bit to drill after 10 hours under the car changing turbo).

I agree with scott, 2.5mm max.

John from Precision recommended I drill mine to 4mm; so I did. No issues with mine.

Oh joy. Replaced another AFM.

FML.

I popped my new genuine Nissan one after about a month; failed just as the car started.

I bought a WRX one the 2nd time. It seems to be going fine.

It fits about 4 billion different models, so at least they're easy to get.

What number are you on now? I think I've killed 3 now.

Did you buy new last time, should be under warranty surely.

This is the 2nd one thats died in 4 months.

Got a 2nd hand one last time from a wreckers which they gave me 3 months warranty on - failed after 4 months to the day. lol

Today Craig and I, well lets be honest mostly just Craig fitted the plenum spacer, scotty's coolant mod, transgo shift kit and finally got around to doing the fun switch mod.

Improvements?

Shifting is definitely faster and I actually think smoother. I havent driven it alot yet but we stalled it up and even with the fun switch off the boost is coming on much stronger. Will see how it goes after I drive it a bit. Still have a random stalling issue but hopefully will get that sorted soon. The car is getting there :)

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
