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?

    • 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.
