Hello, my name is mik and my car is broken.

Its got a little shimmy in the front left brake.

I think its the radius rod mount. the hole has been enlarged by bad previous owners driving into something.

Weld a plate? New k frame? Them brace gk tech thingys?

Mine has been fine, but I've been too scared to use the high beams :P

It wasn't the alternator. I'm thinking it might be the clamps on the battery? Tats said he had a similar issue where doing just one "extra" thing stole too much power and made the car shut down and he discovered one of his clamps hanging off.

Mine aren't hanging off, but I've had problems with them before.

^ depending on the type of battery, some have a removable plastic washer at the base of the terminals, which when taken off, lets you clamp them down better

I know my car has a slightly wonky earth somewhere, so this week I am determined to fix it

I checked those. Didnt move by hand. But doesnt hurt to nip them up a bit

Yeah I know, they're clamped on good but when I had issues before they were too - it was more a bit of a build up of gunk that was doing it and making the connection fail, rather than any looseness.

I figured with a brand new battery it would all be clean and sorted, but maybe the clamps are still gunky on the inside?

Yeah that would be great! The "poles" (lol) should be fine cos it's a brand new battery... typical, it's the male part playing up!! :P

I think I need to buy some of that terminal spray stuff to try as well.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • 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
