What's Going On With Everyones Cars?

[Addicted2BoostR34]

after dropping around 2L of oil out of my gearbox about 4 went back in milk would be thicker than the oil that come out it had never been done like the diff oil had a good look around and no leakes ect stoked

[pipster11]

clean up the cut out part and practice on it?

they arent overly hard to set up, might as well practice on it, its only a 31, =P

yeah i've done a tiny bit of arc welding and i've got a tonne of rods (but no welder)

i don't think i could arc the 31 tho because the pannels must only be 1-1.5mm thick (rods are 2.5 so way too beefy)

anyone selling a cheap mig welder?

[DJRIFT]

i belive you can hire MIGs at a pretty good rate.

like everything a cheap welder will give cheap results. a half decent one will do a good job with a bad operator.

dont get a gas less mig. may as well stick weld it.

[pipster11]

yeah it will be. Gassed mig, might have to buy wogboy's one then

[jangles]

black

[Autumn33]

Do like, the GT-C's will look mint ( if your still putting them on it )

Nothing really new on my car put on a new intake pipe ( stock one with a section cut out & filled with a piece of pipe ) as i found my old one had a rather large split on the underside

new pod ( +25kw )

oil change & filter

just waiting till next week to register it and finish my pipes so i can have it all ready for time attack ( being a poser on the hill )

yeah, these ones though, bought the 19s before it was going back to original colour, to tone down against the blue. not sure about black on black, might sell them for something gold yet.

[Autumn33]

just a quick question, would having the wires to my tps cut have anything to do with why my car wont idle till warm? drives fine while cold just wont idle, only way i can get it to idle is unplug the afm till its warm. (just realised the plug has been cut)

Or could it be my acc valve?

Has all the tubes from the tb missing also but ive read that wont affect it.

Will be cleaning the acc tomorrow to see if it helps.

[zoidbergmerc]

no TPS prolly has a lot to do with it.

[jangles]

by tubes, do you mean the ones from one side of the TB to the other? that allow airflow to bypass the TB whilst closed?

edit: actually, why wouldnt the TPS be connected?

[Autumn33]

Yeah the tubes on either side and the one under it have been taken off.

I have no idea why its been cut it has the plug but no wires i only realised last night

[Autumn33]

decided to take a pic, as you can see one of the plugs is pluged in the other has been cut

[toffy]

The plug at the top is for auto kick down , i can't see anything on my phone

Dose your idle controll valve have a hose going into the cooler pipe work pre-throttle body?

[Autumn33]

I'll have a look when i go back out tonigt, i know it has pipe coming from it but i haven't worked out were it leads to yet

[sav man]

The TPS has 2 sets of wires, one is the throttle signal, and the other is the idle switch. Your idle switch is cut, so your car will idle like shit. Also is the TPS isn't adjusted properly, the idle switch will never activate.

[Autumn33]

Thanks for the info Hopefully the wires are still there somewhere

For some reason i have a breather on the aac valve. Has a T piece with a breather and a hose that leads to a black plastic box

Edit: managed to get my phone down there to take a pic, not the best but it shows what i mean about the breather & the black thing.

[zoidbergmerc]

wtf? pretty sure that air filter isn't supposed to exist....

[DJRIFT]

yep pretty simple. where that air filter is that line needs to be plumbed onto the turbo side of the throttle.

that would be sucking un metered air during cold start and idle. its a wonder it doesnt stall when you stop at lights.

that black box thing as you described is a heat activated air bypass valve. or cold start valve. its fully open when the car is cold and as the block warms up it closes off. it also has ignition power to it to help it close off. this is why under cold start imports rev heigh for the first few minutes then slowly go back to normal.
