Who fixed it for you?

She got a new lancer, it was about time the oldies settled on what car they were getting. All the questions the old boy was asking me was driving me insane

Pretty sure you can figure this one out, Chris.

Guard needed some massaging, intercooler brackets needed straightening, and some plastic welding was done. All corroded/broken bolts were either removed or drilled out with new ones put through. Definitely wasn't a straight forward job but it got done one weekend. Paint was done by someone unknown to me but it was certainly better than the paint previously on there.

There...I've given you one very distinct clue already as to who done most of the work as it happens to be his specialty :)

Man of many skills - some of which I'm just beginning to discover.

Lancer evo X bathurst?

Think its afm from what I can find out pretty common problem not sure how reset ecu other than scan tool I've got one to do obd2 but not obd1

Just disconnect the battery and tap the break a couple times, turn lights on etc, turn key etc etc....to bleed the system of all power. I also left my old liner disconnected for a couple hours to make sure she was well and truly in reset mode when you fire it up the next time.

When I first do this to mine it won't idle... Second start is fine

Well now you'll have to give it a chance to learn the engine again. I had to do this for my GTST when I put the intercooler on and also when I put the pod on. There's actually a procedure to *helping* the eccs learn...like, a set way that you should drive it so that the computer can fine tune all it's tables (seeing that all engines are different but the computers all have the same maps etc etc)

But yes, if it's chuggy/surgy I'd go over all your vacuum lines, pressurised pipework and all your sensors. Give it all a tighten-up and clean with contact/carb cleaner - your engine will love it (even if it doesn't fix that particular problem)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
