DIY BMW repairs and maintenance is cheap and easy.

Australia rips us off because it's considered luxury car

Just buy spare parts from America and you are set.

My dad took his BMW to service centre was quoted thousands of dollars to fix, we bought all the parts delivered from America for a couple hundred and did it our self.

Some parts even cheaper than skyline parts.

Brown - Auxiliary Air Control

Purple - Fast Idle Control Device

So as long as the brown is connected, it should be fine

thanks again, enough info to find the exact information in the SR20 forum.

so brown is IACV, pretty important.

the other (I'm almost certain) is an on/off switch from ECU to boost idle when AC is on or high power steering pressure (full lock). explains why I kept stalling at DECA on the skid pan. it's all makes sense now

shopping for GTX's now... tempted for external gate but fair bit of effort involved...

I remember first time I met Aaron at Phillip Island and he said "chuck a GTX in there" "nah..."

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
