Sounds like a strange problem....

I thought u were changing the ecu?

I am doing the ECU but not just yet, but yeh we have it sorted now.

So after a few hours with DVS Jez this morning, we have swaped AFM (made a little difference but still no boost) we then changed the spark plugs but still no boost, after that Jez hit a light bulb and pulled my ECU out and low and behold it has been flash chipped in japan with some crazy remap it seems. on the dyno the fuel stayed flat through the whole power band and it is supposed to drop off towards the end with the stock ECU's. We then cut the knock sensors off and bypassed them (car was on the dyno a few days ago and timing was adjusted) and put in the coil packs from his drift car and boom, boost was restored, im running it this weekend to test to make sure its fixed and on Monday/Tuesday putting my parts back in 1 by 1 to see if it fails. But it looks like its the coil packs or the knock sensor that was the issue.

My money is on the Knock sensor because when we ran the diagnostic on the road the timing was going from around 25 to 13 when it was supposed to come on boost like it was picking up a knock that was not there so the sensors may be on the way out.

so big thanks to Jez for his time today and finding the issue with this bitch of a car lol.

mat just realised he is a post whore :D

nah ive been pretty flat out with shit lately because emma has had her end of year exams ive been doing EVERYTHING at home.

shes finally finished for the year so i have my own little slave ;)

dont let her hear that though!!

"chop chop, dig dig, chop chop, dig dig."

yea ive been pretty busy, should be on here abit more now though...

trying to get bits for my wheels, talking to some guys in the states that can provide center cap adaptors for my SL's, and center caps, and yellow stickers hopefully. should know in the next couple of days. should look pretty good once finished hopefully!

think this thread is dying, or you guys are actually working hard at work ha

Actually I think it's a comp between you and Benji as to who has the least amount of posts in this thread

Oh and while I think of it does anyone wanna do Xmas drinks sometime in Dec or we all to busy?

nah i came second in the standard rwd class martin. for being a fast mother f**ker! final best time was 1.16.4

i focused all my efforts to 1 lap of pushing the car to its limits on every corner but did f**k up a bit (didnt brake 100% and didnt have the best line on a few corners) could have gotten in the 15s but my skills arent consistent enough yet :(

1st was a s14 with more power, braking, suspension, less weight he got 1.10 or something.

pretty happy with my efforts considering i had a 300kw gtt behind me for a whole session, with brembos gtr seats etc and he could only catch me on the straights, lost him on the other half of the track every lap with my awesome suspension (ay martin hah).

mat got best gtst in show and shine and chookie got lowest of the low award.

ant would have got most look alike to big bird but i think the nitto 34 gtr won that.

hi Ant, can you send me some info on the sl centre caps. i've just about talked myself into buying set :-)

he had everything thing aloud, and i have an exhaust haha.

pft as if martin, i see no results, only talking!

stock for stock a silvia would kick a skylines ass around wakie too cause its such a cornering intensive circuit and they are so light weight and shiiii

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
