I'd like to bash him for all the rude comments he makes.

No seriously, his head is made of mild steel rather than alluminium so it wont get bigger if we praise him. I find it's because at 3.258495 Litres you get optimum head efficiency and any more is a waste of time.

:(

I Propose a SAU Hall of Fame for the likes of Sydney Kid and others. Newbies will be able to tell those who have technical knowledge from the likes of me and others. (If they don't notice that his replies are well thought out, detailed and answers your question!)

Thanks for all the help!

Hahaha Rev, I think that you'll find most "traditional" older tuners don't like nitrous, especially those with a circuit background :P

I think it's great to have people like SKid on the forums, as they not only have experience to assist and help people avoid making mistakes but are also willing to share their info.

John Munro, Mario, ylwgtr and anyone who contributes their automotive experience also fall into the same boat.

I can't agree more.

Always happy to give advice. It's a VERY rare thing to have someone with such knowledge that is willing to freely give advice.

I know of a heap of tuners/mechanics that would say "I know how to do it, but it's a trade secret".

Plus he likes Jack Daniels, so he must be an alright bloke :P

Yes i agree 100% with everyone, ur knowledge on modifications and things in general is much appreciated by all i beleive. Its good to see that most of ur replies go into great detail also and not just 1 or 2 lines. I sent u a pm recently thanking u. 2 cheers from me mate

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • 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!
