yeah i thought that but there isnt any plugs left, and believe me ive checked, many many times because the oil pressure wire would never reach the oil temp sensor, thats how i broke the wire connection off the sensor.

check for a loose ground wire for the temp sensor

my stagea has an extra sensor on the oil cooler/heat exchanger, no wires going to it at all, just a single pin sensor sticking out

Yeah. That's the one. Kinda random. I'm going to make an adapter and use it for an oil temp guage.

Ok so no more leaks, my pcv grommet should be here today and I even got my tyre fixed so no more weekly tyre inflating. :D. 840km in and it all looking good.

I have noticed over the past few days that my car draws a lot of unwanted bogan attention.The latest 2, 1. sitting at the lights and get a kid yell out "do a drift". WTF!!! 2. Sitting at the lights, commodore pulls up beside me, I'm talking to my wife, he pulls some weird faces and does the usual I'm gonna flog this ricer spiel to his passengers, gives a few big revs and sits there waiting for the lights to change. Light goes green, he roars off an I just putter off as I'm in no rush and my pregnant wife is in the car (my car tends to hurt her) I change lanes to turn corner and he just keeps roaring off :/.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
