Ok Guys I am having a problem with removing the M spec front bar from my S1 r33gtst. I have removed the bolts attaching the bar to the side skirts I have removed the 3 screws under the grill and I have unattached the bar from the lining inside the guards. And unplugged the indicators. The bar still seems to be attached near the headlight area. When I look up under the headlights there is fairly large white square clip. I can’t move this but. Does this mean I need to remove the headlights to get the front bar off? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I can’t take it any more this bar needs to come off! Thanks guys…also does anyone know of a book that has this type of stuff in it. I got the tech manual but it is more for mechanics than a backyard tinkerer like me. Thanks heaps guys! :D

Hey mate, i have done this anumerous times now the first time is definately the hardest the best thing to do is get a long skinney flat hear screwdriver and gently pry the clip up while pulling on the front bar, easier if you get someone to give u a hand to hold the bar, do this on both sides and the bar should come off if you have all the bolts un done.

Is it eaiser just to unbolt the reo (2 bolds either side), and the bolts either side near the guards. The whole lot comes away.

I have not done it but I have recently had a new bar fitted and the group who did it took the whole lot off then unbolted the bar from the reo.

      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.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
