Hi all, my car somehow accidently make a 180 spin and after that, I realize a few diffrent from before. When the engine startup during cold weather, it start at 2k rpm, b4 that was 1k only. But it then slowly go down to 600-700rpm. Before it make the spin, max RPM during startup is 1k and normal running is 500 only. Not to mention, my Apexi turbo timer "DEAD", no information been display. My best guesses is the ECU somehow auto reset! Anyone have any comment on it? Is this good or bad?

its Highly unlikly that the spin did anything to your car,

It is normal for your car to rev at higher rpm on the cold start aslong as the rpm drops once the car is warm up then you shouldnt worry about it. Normal idle rpm is around 600-800rpm

For your apexi turbo timer, im guessing that the spin may have knock it around and it is possable that the wiring was loses and the spin just knock it out of place, check all ur wiring and make sure everything is connect and grounded right.

Also there is an idle screw on your car, and if ur worried about ur idle just play around with it till u get it to what it was like

Hope that Helps

What Mike said bout the idling is right, the revs will drop as the engine warms up. "Slowing" to 700 is alright. That's where mine sits at after warming up.

Also agree you probably stalled the car by not clutching in.

Your car would be fine, sounds like rattled wires on ur TT or something.

How did your 'car' accidently 180 itself....?

Jeez its a tough crowd in here (some), the poor guy is obviously from os, and he gets slammed for not speaking english, his grammer isnt the best and he gets canned for that.

What ever happened to the friendly forums? :O

"my car somehow accidently make a 180 spin " siaw, just so you know next time, to write this using the correct aussie grammer, try this:

"I farked up coming out of a bend, put my foot in a bit too hard and the back end went out, after a bit of tank slapping, I lost it compeletly and she did a 180"

Its ok, I know I have farked up heaps driving my car, especially when I was a young fella - probably why P platers have such a high mortality rate :D Dont feel too bad about being honest when you fark up, we all do it, its one way to learn.

Glad to hear there was no accident, you did get lucky there.

siaw, suggest, (as others have) it has something to do with the TT, check all the wiring, if that doesnt work, also check your inlet piping, you may have a small leak near the manifold as some pipes on these cars can be a bit old and tired. Also, as suggested, you could try adjusting the idle control valve, but this is more a cover up than a fix.

If you live near willetton, drop me a pm and you can come around to my place and I will have a look for you to see if it is something obvious, or, if all else fails, just take it to a reputable workshop such as C-Red, Hyperdrive, X-Speed and ask them to take a look.

good luck

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
