Did a brake booster on my old hand me down Camira.....I know the feeling, next time remove drivers seat.

Morning all.

It's Friday :)

tis indeed.

I am still considering offloading mine. I occasionally get get exited but 90% of the time I couldn't care less and it just sits there undriven. I am no longer interested in track stuff so really it is the wrong car for my interests.

Got a Mazda 3 in today 2009 model

She has had it from new

Had it serviced at 1800

20000

50000 and it's now up to

Wait for it

90000

They are ment to be serviced every 10000

It had about half a liter of oil in the sump

it ain't that difficult Bunts!

It can be, but thats because I have always been buying secondhand cars, so you want THAT particular car, I guess with new it is easier because you can get exactly the same thing elsewhere.

There was a kluger at the mechanics next door to work. Owners purchased it brand new. Had close to 200000kms on it in and was about 2.5 years old. Never had a service or any fluids checked. Engine seized up because no oil and the owner wanted Toyota to fix it under warranty haha

will you be buying new or second hand this time round?

Costs me half as much to insure the new car as the wedge. For about 2.5x the value and for regular use instead of 'once or twice a week'.

F*ck skylines.

No, I'm not selling the wedge :P

sell it and buy a VW beetle

We had one exactly the same at the old shop I used to work at

Except he had the 1000 check over done and thought that was it. Cars didn't need servicing to run

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
