I could ask the same of you - Are you a BMW fanboy now? 😏

I'm an everything fanboy. I seem to want one of every car atm. If only I was a middle eastern prince. :)

Unfortunately, cars are a little lower on my priorities than they used to be. Just moved house and have a daughter going into fricken year ten and another in year 7. Its all doing my head in.

Living the dream :) An unlimited garage and bank account would be nice wouldn't it?

Absolutely. And time to drive them! I bet that GT3 is fun. Totally a fave of mine.

Believe it it not, I have barely driven it. Bought it earlier this year, it arrived the day before my daughter was born so free time wasn't something I have had a lot of, and then we went into a 5 month lockdown and I wasn't able to get to it.

I'm happy to keep it warmed up if you want :)

Congrats on your daughter!!! Is she your first?

Yep. Eldest gets her license this year. Need to find a big open space to let her let it rip.

I'm OK mate - Miss my Skyline, Gloria, Cosmo (ie anything Jap Import) - Still living in Adelaide. Having kids kills the ability to have car projects...... so waiting for them to all move out (11 years to go !) LOL.

20 Years for SAU, that's wild - I still remember my first meet up with you guys, even before I had my GTST. I had the Red VL Turbo and we cruised the Northern Beaches. 

Good Times.

If you weren't SDU before you were SAU, are you even OG? 😀

Car projects are still doable with kids B-man, its the time to enjoy them part that is the issue.

Where in radelaide are you living? DM me if you like - We are down there regularly.

Are you on crack. 4 kids, wife doesn’t work, Adelaide wages. Car projects not happening.

So, while @Duncan has stretched the definition of 'Northside' somewhat, I'm seriously impressed by @B-Manincluding himself from Radelaide. :rofl2:

You have an E500 though, thats super cool.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
