My first suggestion would be to have a very good close look for leaking vacuum hoses and fittings.  There are lots, so take your time, a small split in the underside of a hose is hard to see if you rush.
Slightly off topic: Is their something I can spray/do to the hoses to see if their is a vacuum leak? What is the easiest way to find a vacuum leak?

I can hear a soft hissing near the fuel regulator which sounds like a vacuum leak that i've never heard in the last 18mths.

Soapy (dish washing liquid) water is good, if there is a boost leak it blows pretty bubbles :flower:

For a vacuuum leak, try some RP7, the engine will suck it in and the idle rpm will jump. :)

hmm...i am having over boosting problems with the stock boost solinoid, hits 10 most times, whats going on? could a hose be ****ed? or is it the solinoid? when it hits past 7 is when it starts the flat spot pretty much... also the flat spot goes away after bout 6 grand because the boost goes back down to 7. ..real wierd...any thoughts?

ok fellas after being annoyed for a while

we got energetic last sunday and borrowed a mates 33 in top running order

we changed plugs,packs, fuel pump, ecu, fuel regulator, fuel return valve, blew out the fuel lines, afm, air filter, o2 sensor, coil pack modulator, adj cas, checked tps

we tried clamping the fuel line which jumped me up 30 odd hp so we were obviously getting to much fuel, we adj timing and bingo no more missing although thereis still a huge hole in the power which is soon to be fixed with safc. but we figured that timing belt is screwed and has jump a tooth or something so i am going to do 100k svce next week, and replace cam gear whiile i'm there. lucky we have access to a dyno so did it on the cheap

started out with around 128-130 rwhp endedup with 195.5rwhp.

looking for around 240-250 with fmic safc and cam gear!

one other thing to check is do a simply diagnostics test via consult plug. I had a very nasty hole (to the tune of about 80RWHP) at 5,500 - 6,500 due to my knock sensor (Code 34) not being connected properly and my stock ECU retarding my ignition levels to safe amount, then all of sudden, power jumped back up again, all with consistent A/F's and boost levels. Plugged in the knock sensor, reset the ECU and been happily boostin ever since. Go the S-AFCII :cheers:

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
