Mines a bit of a mixed bag.

Car :183,000

Gearbox: 183,000 (New gearbox will have about 110,000)

Motor: 49,000 (First motor did 144,000 then had an oop's)

Diff's: Front 45,000, Rear 22,000

Suspension: 80,000

Still no win with the seat frame Jules?

84 000km on the clock, 40 000km in my care; P/Side Rocker Cover Gasket, New Cabin Filter and a Parker Globe.

Other than that; A couple of random SRS resets, and routine maintenance, and selective upgrading, that's it.

Just clicked over 80,000.

Had the castor bushes replaced as one of the boots was broken (RWC when it was complianced with 71K on the clock)

I changed the cabin filter, it was changed at 45K in Japan.

Changed spark plugs

Numerous oil changes and filter changes including gearbox/diffs

Cleaned out all the accumulated leaves where the battery sits (luckily no rust!)

Had the Tanabe shocks fitted (seem to be pretty good for cruising)

Rear glass hatch section not lifting (not 100% sure, but will get an auto elec to look at it when I can be bothered). main tailgate still lifts, so I'm ok.

Seems to be going well at the moment. Next service is at 85K where I'll get the family mechanic to look it over and see if I've missed anything, or fix anything that I don't have time for (read: allow me to spend my time on the 1600 instead)

Still has lots of squirt!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
