Ah well. Another MAS is over and people are back at work recovering from a long weekend of cleaning cars, talking to car enthusiasts and the general public.

A great showing again by SAU representitives and supporters.

I just thought I'd take this time to thank the many people who helped out getting my car to MAS again and assisted in making MAS dyno history again when my car ran 604awkw. Although we were intending on breaking my own outright record of 617rwkw, wheelspin didn't help our cause and we couldn't get a solid run out of the rollers :)

On a personal note, I want to thank:

Nige

Gerald

Karlos

Pete

Mick

who put in all the hard yards and late nights to get my car into MAS this time round. The engine sounded solid and made good numbers without flinching. The flame on Sat was defiantely a Kodak moment (Thanks SnowBall). 30kms of running in on the dyno and then making big numbers just goes to show how good the work is. As you may or may not know, the car wasn't ready until 5am on Sat morning and we drove the car into the Shed at 9:30am before the crowds came in. Talk about a close call. Without them, my car would still be sitting in the factory doing sweet nothing.

Jack (JAGR33) for making the effort to tow the cars from Ice to Jeff's Shed late Friday night and first thing again on Sat morning. Also, thanks to Nontas for towing my car back to TGS on Sunday night.

Thanks to Bec fro getting me the hot water for the car on Sat when it was needed. I hope the bucket went back to the owner coz I used my own bucket on Sunday and left it at the Shed :P

Thanks goes to Tony from TGS for storing my car on Sunday night. If it wasn't for him, my night would have been a lot longer driving the R to Richmond, coming back to the city and picking up the 6. Wouldn't have been fun.

Thanks to RPMZ, Kel and DJ Abs for organising the shirts, girly outfits, designs for the flyers, the after party and decks on the display. Another fine effort and greatly appreciated.

A special thanks to the fine fine ladiez who volunteered their time to promote FA, have their photos taken with the crowd and hand out flyers on Sat to promote the after party. A stunning effort indeed.

Finally, thanks to all the supporters who did favours for me and the Ice guys to make our lives easier.

If I've missed anyone out, I'm sorry but I do appreciate the efforts.

See you all at the NDSOC day on 28 May!

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
