Ill be in sydney next weekend fitting mick o's gtx3071. If u want i could take a look at it then.

Sounds good man, you will know here and I'll probably sms you if I've fixed it otherwise shoot me an sms when your down I can bring my car up.

I was thinking of something. If I built a small circuit consisting of a few LED's ranging from red to yellow to green which will receive the AFM voltage signal as the input and work in such a way that when the volts are low the lights are red and when the volts and air rises the lights will go to yellow and green, could I use this as a clear display for me to monitor when I am getting effects of reversion to determine if its an issue? I don't think it will take long to make and I should have all the parts I need. I can just keep my eye on my power fc hand controller afm voltage and see what happens.

Or just monitor the signal with a multimeter lol. Better yet an oscilloscope but I doubt you have one of them lying around.

Surely the powerFC software can graph AFM volts vs time though? That would be the easiest way to see.

I has an oscilloscope which I found years ago lol it's been binned though. I might invest in some power fc software. I am fairly certain it can log afm signal against time and rpm. I've got a multimeter but the fluctuation might be too quick I won't see it. With the power fc I can reset the max readings the second I back off the throttle and then check them again. Damn it would be sweet if I could get some power fc data logger on my phone lol. OdbII has it and you can use bluetooth too dammit lol.

Coil packs failed on me. Stock ones are back in there. Damn yellow jackets, lets hope they can get replaced under warranty. Second set to fail on me :( I haven't tested if this fixed my stalling or lean popping issue but it seems everything came at once so lets try iron them out.

Spray the stock coils with CRC urethane seal coat Sarge.

Ill do this, sounds like a mint idea too. I'm using Nitto tape, good shit but under that heat it does dry up pretty quickly.

Damn and i was thinking of yellow jackets after readin some reviews of them., now im stayin clear, ur not the only guy to report their failure..

Don't get me wrong, they work. They work awesome, it just seems that maybe the heat in a modded engine kills them early. Maybe 19psi is too much for them. Could be many reasons but I can tell you the warranty and service behind them(from performance wise) is second to none. Spoke with him today and he offered me a full refund or replacement set. Unfortunately I think I am going to take the refund then invest in a set of spitfires. Looks like the stock piece is holding pretty well so far too. 15psi on the drive home no miss.

So the issue seems to have been coilpacks?

Would be good to get it out there.. I was thinking of getting a set for my SR

well no, the coil packs were my latest problem but I'm still having issues with strapping and idle and cruise conditions... I spoke with performance wise and the highest failure rate is only with series 2 coils. Apparently the coils might have an issue with the dwell time of the series 2...

you guys figure this out yet? its not hard. its pretty obvious what is going on here.

Not yet, its only when the car is warm it lean pops. Please man if you got any ideas let me know.

I have many ideas.... but lets start with this...

Warm the car up, make it so its popping on idle... then... go to the petrol station, don't stop the engine and fill the tank with 98 to the brim.

Post back results.

Isn't that dangerous lol. What should or shouldn't happen?

Do you have your PCV connected to the Plenum? Make sure that valve is still working

If it is still connected do your cam cover breathers still connect to the intake pipe after your AFM?

It is still connected and was replaced with a new piece as the old one broke during replacement of the injectors. I had no issues with the car until I measured up a new intake pipe. I did NOT fit a new intake pipe it. Merley measured up a new pipe then put everything back together and its been lean popping and stalling since. Also noticed my fuel cap isn't going pssh anymore and noticed fuel fumes coming from the fuel cap again ffs.

Ive got my intake breather hooked up to the exhaust breather(like standard) then fron the exhaust side to a sealed catch can then back to the turbo. Below is a diagram of how shit is facing and what not.

just go to the station, fill the car up while its popping. after you put a fuel talk, does the popping go away?

also take picture of your intake pipes and post them up please.

As long as you don't spill petrol all over your exhaust I can't see the issue, no more dangerous than normal I'd say, it is just a precaution in the odd event you have arcing in your engine bay and there happens to be close to the lower explosive limit concentration of vapours in the air, basically a 1 in a million chance.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
