Yeah gotta get rid of it. Did have a k&n but it rubbed on the bonnet so think I'll just get an apexi. Yeah once my consult arrives I will check timing on start up. Will try and start this arve to see if starts up straight away like yesterday

My CAS was weird. Everything seemed fine but I got random knock every now and then and it was making alot of noise. Pulled it out and you could barely spin it. Car has run much nicer with the new CAS. Having said that, the old one never caused any idle issues but if you can borrow another one its something else you can rule out.

Make sure you set base timing and probably do an ecu reset as well

Just a few things...

Everyone of my RB20s (3 in total) all had a wierd surge/hesitation when coming on boost for the first time when cold - I believe one person had found a fix for it... I seem to think it was CEFFIE (or some similar user id - the guy that does the chips for the rb20 ecus)

but once they are warmish - that issue goes away.

Pod filter - I had a blitz pod filter which mounts on to the AFM - on the RB20, this ALWAYS surged and kinda jerked around.

I then used a different pod on an extension pipe and it worked fine.

see here..

you can have them cheap cheap if you like.

Yeah will check first Cal and then I might grab it off ya if it's the CAS. It started perfect yesterday before I drove it to site. So will try this arve and see. Haha I just finished making a box bugger. So nah thanks for the offer though. Will just go a nice apexi power funnel I think nice and stubby.

My point about the filter was having a free flowing pod right against the afm may be causing the issue as air comes in from all directions.

having a slight extension pipe so the air smoothes out before hitting the AFM might help.

Also, if you have the mesh off the front of the AFM (which helps smooth out air flow) it will also cause problems.

ive also got the same cold start issue as you. will idle rough for a few seconds in the morning and struggle to build oil pressure unless i give it a rev. it doesnt have any other sutters or problems and isnt hard to start. its a 33 n/a . hope you find a solution

Rb20 on stock ecu will feel sluggish until water temp hits 65deg. Baby it until over that temperature. It retards the timing until 65deg. I'll have a look tomorrow morning at the ignition timing value for your own info.

Past week I have been getting rough idle and dropping to the point of nearly stalling. no new mods to cause this change. Cleaned the aac and Iacv and problem still there. I wonder if it could be linked to cold start issue (which I have had prior to this idle issue)

Will clean afm and see if that's fixed at least one problem...

what price u looking at for the filter/pipe set up?

I dunno.. 50 bucks?

I've also got a consult port cable and screen thingy I'd sell..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
