    Is it still under warranty? Ducken VAG crapbox. My wife's ford focus junk dct did something similar a few years back, was borked TCM module. Recently it intermittently didn't want to release clutch and would just be in neutral for a few seconds. Clutch fork was binding randomly from clutch dust build up. Some brake cleaner, a spline tool and working the clutch fork back and forth manually sorted it.

    Is it back in yet? Chop chop😉

    Agree, hard to tell. However, I'd just send it.

    It would have been too easy of an explanation of what's going on. I'm all out of ideas but I think you're well on your way to explaining it yourself with the low lift on that exhaust cam. I know that de Neo's with that cam when boosted still make good power but need a fair bit more boost to do it. I wonder if anyone has some stock neo cams lying around to compare measurements.

    Most of this is above my understanding but I wonder if a 25DE NEO exhaust cam which are 6.9mm lift has somehow found it's way in there. Not far off your measurement.

    f**k man, happy and sad for you at the same time.

    I honed the cylinders myself with a 3 stone hone. If I was to use forged pistons, I definitely would've got a shop to do it to make sure the clearances where spot on. Probably best to get a shop to look at the block before buying the pistons and see what size they recommend.

    As gtsboy said, 10k AUD is a rough figure for a forged rebuild. Where are you located? Is it only 3 of the pistons that have what appears to be detonation damage on them? If so, a cheaper way out would be to replace the 3 pistons with some good 2nd hand ones, new rings, bearings, hone cylinders, new OEM head gasket, arp headstuds, clean up all the built up crap on the valves, service head and send it. If you can do the bottom end yourself, could save yourself a lot of $. Recently did this with my engine, did also add some cheap forged rods, total cost was less than 2k AUD. Whatever you do, once back together. You're going to have to address what caused the problem initially. Probably tune or fuel quality related would be my guess.

    Or she's worried you'll start modifying the M3 and it'll end up just like the skyline anyway. Maybe she secretly loves the skyline..

    I think you keep improving this car because you secretly love it 😂

    Anyway, single is still king. Twins still in the bin. Lol xoxo

    I've got some of those somewhere, I remember removing them years ago but if I can't find them (likely) I'll grab some of those. Thanks for the lead👍

    Not ATM. The bug hasn't bitten yet. Just happy to cruise around in it for now. I'm looking at making it more family friendly by putting a cat back in it, try to quieten it a bit, possibly better less crashy suspension and add child seat. Hopefully then will be able to use it for some Sunday drives with the family and get more usage out of it.

    Nothing much has really been going on with this. It's been a case of no news is good news. The 1000km milestone has been reached and all is well thus far. Time to change to synthetic oil and send it's mum. Actually before I do any sending, I want to verify the timing. My timing light shit itself so waiting for new one in the mail, will get done once it arrives.

    Is that before or after they install the rotrex kit? 😂

    While you're at it 1 for the cruise ship and 1 for the Honda 😉

    Happy to have been of service 😉

    They came up real nice. Looks classy 👍

    Yes I had similar issues to what dose is experiencing. Went through everything, had the system regassed, was still playing up, drained it and replaced the sensor/switch on the dryer, still same. A/C guy gave up at that point. As mentioned, I wired in a S15 thermistor and just let it hang on the floor and everything worked. It turned out to be a bad connection at the plug for me, I returned to using the original thermistor. I had slight issues a couple more times but after cleaning the plug and terminals really well, it's been good for quite a few years now. The plug for said thermistor is located just behind the glovebox area. Pretty sure it can be accessed without removing much. Small hands help. From my understanding all the thermistor does is work out when to turn compressor off and on as described above. Surely the fpg kit being ordered has some more modern way to run everything and comes with solid instructions. Please let us know @R3N3 when it arrives.

    I had a quick look on EFI solutions website, you'll probably find the plugs you're looking for there. https://www.efisolutions.com.au/category_s/179.htm

    Fark, what a debacle. True Greg style. Glad you, Lex and the 34 all made it back in 1 piece. I've been running a dw300 in mine. Went that way to avoid the type of thing you've just experienced. Standard hat and plug. I can't remember exactly but I think I used slightly beefier wiring to the pump and crimped it on (pretty dodgy I know). Haven't had any issues other than melting a relay early on due to poor crimps on the connections to said relay. Redid them all using a proper pro grade crimper and no problem since. I think the dw or similar equivalent should do the job for you and greatly reduce another Greggin scenario.

    Looking pretty good, red stitching is nice.

    That's pretty cool that he likes it. My daughter's are scared of mine, it's too loud, fast and scary they reckon. I'm working on rectifying the situation.
  24. admS15
    So, did you get it going again or did you become an overnight camper?
  25. admS15
    It's a love/hate relationship. We know you really love it. Even GPT chat realised that, lol.
