shit man that sounds bad, my last defect was carried out by the rta also, but they still ticked a box, and all i did was take it to a mate of mine and he cleared it i didnt even touch the car, LOL....

sounds like u need to return it to stock form and get EPA to check it all over, thing is they will be very picky, they will check your car over and over, not only for the written defects, so make sure ur car is stock.

you have to find an engineer that will be willing to engineer ur car, send a pm to "MYSTR33" i think it was, he had a defect at the same time as me at the start of the year, got it cleared through an engineer...

the defect is not on the R32. R32 i got with the RB25 in it from factory. This defect is on the R34 GTT.

Does engineering cost anything?

The best idea is to stick a high flow cat on, besides you dont really lose that many Kw with one on.... comparing the lost in kw (f-all) with a cat on and the shit you'll get into when you get caught without one... I know which I'd pick. I dont understand why people worry so bloody much about little pissy things like a Cat convertor.... get a decent ball bearing turbo, boost the bugger up and that'll more than make up for the lost in power with a catty on.

another thing is guys...

it seems the defect was not even recorded as I noticed i got a blue slip Defect and also the yellow copy of it as well ... don't they keep the yellow copy so they can enter it into the system?!?!?!

I really need to know if this actually means that its not in the systems

    • 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!
