My VL's fuel gauge (and probably everyone else's) used to intermittently stop working. A good slap of the dash would bring it back to life usually. Finally got fed up with that and pulled the cluster out, turned out there were a bunch of cold-soldered joints that had cracked. Re-flowed them and no more worries :yes:

I thought of doing this 12 months ago. storage/security/tools are a bit f an issue unless strict rules are enforced.

car is at tuners for run-in. thing won't idle when warm... suspect AFM has finally carked it :( bought one from a member literally 2 days ago. hope I get it before this weekend...

vic club should hire one. we all chip in 10 bucks a week, or 20. we have lift installed, and we all have to book in to use the workshop.

I'd want to keep my car there as well, since I don't have a garage :D

Huge liability issues right there, I doubt SAU Vic would wanna get involved in that without some exxy insurance as they could pretty easily get sued...but it isn't a bad idea by any stretch.

Just get a couple of people to chip in for a 1 year lease up front, get address and drivers licence details, install a security camera and away you go!

yea i get ya. but if we leave it empty...... some one would be there every night working anyway haha!

im down for weekly payments. no up front shizzle tho! but only if its got a lift~

Can pick up a 2 post hoist for $3k or so I think...

I know a few blokes who share a garage in an industrial area in a similar way, seems to work for them and it makes their girlfriends happy to not have all the junk in the garage ;)

everyone on the internet is just like "just solder the contacts on the AFM, its a piece of piss" "Z32 AFMs often get bad connections, just open it up and have a look"

no one tells you how to open it or how not to open it. if mine wasnt f**ked, it certainly is now lol

anyone know where i can get one locally even if its a bosch one?

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • 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.
