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..."

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
