Dudes, when removing the throttle body, how important is it to replace the black gasket between it and the plenum? If it comes off undamaged is it good to go back in?

Would at the very least put a light spray of hylomar on either face just to be sure you've got a good seal. It's a metal gasket and it's designed to crush when it's first used so it will never seal quite so well as before.

No excuses...it's a Pulsar...if it's not more daily friendly than a Skyline what does it have going for it?!

Birds dont troll the vicwaste, theres abgood r35 thread with your name all over it

that moment when your travel agent misses a decimal point and tries to over charge you 48K on a short trip..

sounds like when I registered the crown, lady thought it was 390000 dollars instead of yen and tried to charge me $16k in stamp duty, 4 times the cars purchase price lol

ah the joy of Au public servant training.

I think I'm at about 5 weeks waiting for a manifold to get put on now, I am a patient man but fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I'm patient,,,but more than one day without a very good excuse I would be pulling car out.

Never ever changed or put anything on TB gasket....and i took it off heaps of times...never had an issue....never changed any of my Turbo gaskets either and changed turbos 5-6 times...or cam covers..infact Only gasket i ever changed was ex manifold..

just curious scotty,

how much to do a hard pipe for a sr20?

do you need car?

pm if easier.

I can make a tractor intake pretty cheap mate. :P

Would most likely need the car here, unless you are running a pod and send me some decent pics? Easier to bring the car down if possible, as that way I can be sure it all fits perfectly. Of course, that means you would have to be in the country at some point this year. ;)

Unless they are cracked, I reuse all gasket too. Hylomar is great though. The only gasket that stresses me is the T3 at the turbo entry, as they cop a hiding with exhaust heat.

Well... after a week they hadn't started yet, that was on Tuesday.. put it there because

a) Stao made a booking on my behalf

b) They'd actually put a brae manifold on before

c) It should be simple and relatively easy

I think I could have f***ed it up 18 times after work by now ;)

    • 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         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
