actually the auto does work really well. at least without a load behind. hope it holds up ok.

doesnt come off boost so much. the hill up to my house on one approach is very steep. previously almost came to a stop. now it just keeps pulling all the way

haha, you bet

havent done any off road driving so keen to give it a go sometime for sure.

when you're ready mate ...we'll take it moderately easy but challenging to start off with to get the confidence up....and go from there.

am in south brissy. plenty of guys around here that can pull us out if stuck :)

hey mate any more updates?

fuel economy observations?

temps? etc

fuel economy is not surprisingly poor. 22L/100km around town 50% and highway 50%

update on how it drives - fantastic. power delivery is smooth and acceleration anytime is awesome.

no towing yet but just took delivery of trailer so will update more at end of April after a few trips to the track

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
