Don't forget the filament inside the AFM.

You'll need to remove it from the intake and physically spray the heating filament/element of the AFM until its clean of all oil/dirt/dust.

Cleaning this will be more important than just the contacts on the plug.

Should your AFM have no mesh on the ends (unlikely), try not to physically touch the filament bit.

I gots a strange feeling your economy will jump 100ks or more with just AFM cleaning and new O2 :)

So I'll have to clean that with the contact cleaner as well? I know its got mesh at one end, not sure about the other.

I will be very happy if it does haha

Yeah...electrical contact cleaner on the filament/element as well.

Do not use carby cleaner. While this works good, it leaves a residue*** and you will be back to square one LOL

***subject to debate. some say it does, some say its all good but why risk it when for $13 a can at repco this week, you can get electrical contact cleaner :P

May I also suggest new spark plugs...your current ones should all be sooty from the over fueling. Best to do all in one hit so wait for your O2 to arrive.

Lastly, wet weather = car stays safely in the garage ;)

Went to work myself.

The show's over-rated and very expensive nowadays to get in...unless you love dagwood dogs and $10 cans of coke.

True, I haven't been to the show since I was in grade 3/4 and no real desire to. Work public holiday and get a free day off in July for the Nissan time attack day at QR= WINNING

  • 2 weeks later...

Details for Sunday please :)

Not sure as of yet but would like to know anyways.

Wife says as long as we don't get up to anything stupid, I should be OK to go if nothing comes up..... :unsure:

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
