yeah have heard of this happening, what some people have done is put cut pipe in half and put a metal insert with 2 hoseclamps keeping it together

i have this

its about a 150mm long piece of 3inch exhaust pipe, then cut your stock intake pipe (i took out 2 of the ridges) and put it back together with some hose clamps

:cheers:well good news my end finally got my act together car is booked in for next week

to get the head regrinded and cleaned all new belts, pulls replaced and full

service stud kit and guaskets installed :pirate: . also getting the GT-RS turbo kit

install along with fuel system upgrades stoked should be a wepon lookn at

running around 15psi and 7 daily

lookn for a good place to buy engine dress up parts too as the gt kit come with braided line ext just want everything to match any help/ pics would be nice

cheers and :thanks:

I am, Ben wasn't; I don't think he's a big fan of the old Trust style joins on those GREX coolers. We replaced the oil line that had that extra joiner, too dogdey for me.

Also it was an SR20 oil filter that fits on there. Makes me a little sad that I have to poison my RB with a part from that terrible engine.

Those older style earls joins work fine theyre just not mil-spec.

Yeah the joined line wasnt done by me, was done when i sold it the first time and then they gave it back after cutting it up cos they couldnt make it fit. Dickheads.

ah well, we just binned it and got a brand new one.

Today was a very busy night!

R32 running again and back on the road. Turns out my coilpack loom had been tampered with but is now rewired! Then I had two fouled spark plugs. Slight adjustmentment to timing and I am now running with the Splitfires.

Also managed to get front wipers going at last!

Good to hear mate :D

What was the go with the loom? who'd tampered with it? previous owner or wildlife?

Appeared to be yet another previous owners dodgy work. Wasn't wired correctly(possibly only just twisted wire together) and I may have just pulled apart whatever was taped together. So had nothing going to front 3 coilpacks.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
