Hey guys, thanks for another nice night.

to keep everyone up to date on the nights events, my wing has now been removed, with the help of a few others, and i love the look.

The local constabulary payed us a visit, flexed their muscles using scare tactics, licence checks and hanging around us for a while, but no defects were issued and they left us in peace.

and DO NOT travel behind Niks car, esp if he decides to give it a boot, you'll be left with blurry vision, a smoke coated front bar, and stinging eyes.

i realy injoyed my self thank's guys for a great night. cant whait for next friday and am looking forward to getting to know you guy's better.

once he put the foot down all i saw was black smoke. ( where's the road!, where am I!) nik i think you should have your valve seals checked, normaly happens on engines that have done a few k's. only hapens at hish rev's, the oil sneaks past the valve stems and gets blown straight out the exauhst. sould coast to much to fix?

Nothing wrong with the engine, its just running a tad rich and has high flow cat, so not much restriction in the exhaust :(

if you guy's think it's all good then it's all good. it's just ive seen black smoke out of lots of cars before and this was more smoke than i have ever seen! the clowd was the size of his car (no bulls#@*)

not always the case nik :thumbsup: if it runs to rich it can fowl stuff up pretty quick eg spark plugs etc wont it ??? obviously a little rich wont matter though

Oh noes~! my spark plugs~! :(

We've had a lambda meter up the exhaust and it runs an air/fuel ratio of between 11.5 to 11.7:1 acorss the whole rev range its on boost, which is about as high as you want to take it when youre running 15psi+ (although some shops take it to 12:1).

The reason it pisses out so much smoke is because its a *very* free flowing exhaust.

whouldn't whant to race him, he'd blast of bast me taking the whole shot take it to the red line and shift (ejects top secret blinding smoke) and before i could work out which way is the finish line nik whould be past it. sounds cool to me!

last friday night i promised to give somone some initial-d dvd's for give me for forgeting your name (i suck at rembering name's) ive got them ready for you but my cluch in my line'r whent on sunday and iv'e got now way to get them to you! i could arange to get them posted to you just let me know what you would like me to do, thanks!

    • 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!
