Detailed mine, and put it under a car cover again (sigh... I wish I had a garage: that way I could actually SEE the car when its not in use!). Pretty sure I'll be whipping the covers off again soon: the weather's starting to get nice and chilly again!

Had my AFM die on me. Boosting up a hill the power just cut out completely, it would barely idle and wouldnt rev. Fortunately i managed to limp the car home by disconnecting the AFM.

Fearing an expensive replacement was on the cards i soaked the AFM with some contact cleaner, let it sit over night and then tired it out in the morning. Amazingly the engine started up great, idled perfect and drove fantastic. In fact its driving better then ever, i went on a 100km drive this arvo with a whole bunch of blasts of the throttle. Fuel consumption is better and revving feels a lot smoother.

I'd recommend giving your AFM a clean even if its functioning well. Next weekend i'll try cleaning the wife's V35 AFM which is working fine to see if it shows an improvement

Serviced the car last night, oil (trying ULX110), filter, replaced belts, air filter and spark plugs (NGK)...... My car had a slight miss under big load and my economy was pretty average (6/7km per litre) One of my coils was covered in oil (the side that I had my rocker cover gasket changed under warranty) .......needless to say I was pretty impressed. Also I had 3 different kinds of plugs in the car NGK Denso and some wierd jap one WTF, all finger tight (washers on bottom of plugs werent even crushed) :unsure:

Wat? Your kidding, dealer serviced?

Thats a job I would be doing myself, so you can check the plug tubes are clear of oil. They wouldn't even tell you by the sounds of it...

I service my car but haven't done the plugs until now.....I am a qualified mechanic, but when the car was in warranty period (3 months) I got rocker cover/ srs light/ swaybar links/ disc machine blaa blaa done, As I figure I am paying all this money, I am not working on my daily when I don't have to.....

Also when I got it onto the hoist i have noticed I have a couple of very bald (camber) rear tyres and most of my bushes in the front need replacing, so at last I have a reason for changing wheels and tyres instead of the chrome gayness. Will also be needing bushes ASAP

Now just talking to the guys that did the warranty work. They did the outer rocker seal and the inner isn't serviceable (around the spark plug tubes) and you need to buy a new rocker cover or sealant the shiz out of it and cross your fingers? I take it they warp?, anyone had this problem before? Someone has had a go at the sealant already (as one of coils also had sealant on it).....

I did it but I wouldn't recommend using too much sealant in there, probably best to find another rocker cover, new if possible, but they were over $200 I seem to remember and would have to come from Japan. The plug tube seal isn't replaceable.

Awesome.......I wouldn't bother with a second hand rocker as mostly likely would have/will warp.....I am getting a few quotes on rockers covers now..... but this is money I would rather be spending on suspension or exhaust or on my race car......

Will report back with quotes

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
