opium and Japanese newspaper

I confess to reading the Jap newspaper that comes in the box.

Your other guess was closer lol

HKS hardpipe kit!

Sweet, does the hard pipe kit help or is it just for looks? (My one came with it so I've just left them on)

At my power levels it won't do much. Will get more induction noise. It's more for looks currently. But with more power the rubber ones start to have issues. So more future proofing.

More induction noise is a good enough reason by itself :)

Actually I'm amazed when power levels are increased how much noise there is just with the standard airbox+bov setup.

yeah man it's great

I'm replacing my intake with HKS Air flow less adapters and an ARC induction box. BOVs will still be stock.

Prolly not. maybe. Will see.

Most likely not.

you going to put updates in your build Ants?

get damn hot under the bonnet dude.

all that heat soak.

suppose if you never gonna use the car on track prolly doesn't matter. But even in standard driving conditions I noticed all that hot air effects the performance of the car.

Yes, I will update my build thread.

when I have the time

Honestly the only reason im buying the ARC box is because it's purty.

So don't want to cover it up! lol

Also you have time now. If you are posting in my useless thread...

Hell man i'm updating more than you and i don't even have the car!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • 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!
