DON'T HATE ME I AM ONLY TRYING TO HELP.  - Malcolm.

I don't doubt that you are Malcolm, and I do agree with most of what you're saying, but your overly harsh tone and aggressive first post left a lot to be desired and wasn't conducive to getting people to take your comments under advisement.

Malcolm

Without echoing too much what I said previously in this thread, it's great to see you so enthusiastic about making this show even bigger and better than this years event. You're enthusiasm and good ideas will certainly be very useful to us when planning furutre events.

Please consider joining the organisational comittee next time as it would be great to have you on board :rofl:

After reading all of the comments after Malcolm's post, I think it is quite unfair of all of you to attack him like that. It seems like every person who has responded is part of setting up Show and Shine and has taken his comments TOO personally. To me he was criticising the judging and thought the day was run fine. I don't see a problem with that because I mostly agree with everything in his post!  

How about you all take a chill pill and stop attacking him for being the first one to make a negative post on this thread, and actually read what he had to say and probably use some points to rectify the judging problems.  

Granted, his post does sound like a bit of sore loser but still... as execs, say your thanks for his comments, note them down and do something about it! Stop making excuses like, we are young please leave us alone we will do better next time without your opinions. We know that it was the first show, but doesn't mean his post is wrong!

Here's the thing Sura- I would gladly given credit to Malcolm's comments if he had not been so negative AND had expressed a willingness to get involved in fixing things, rather than just going on about everything that was wrong.

You know what else? I would be taking it personally if I had volunteered my free time- unpaid - for the good part of a year to organise this event, and then jumped on the board to read a post 'attacking' my efforts.

Like I said feedback is fine, great even. But the approach taken by Malcolm was so totally wrong and would have been much better placed in a completely new post which asked for constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement.

And for the record- I played no part in the organisation of this event :Oops:

Sorry Merli- I shut up now!

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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.
