Alright, I believe you 😂 Many my original mechanic has gotten a lot of things wrong lol.

Not the wastegate solenoid, he was saying the actual boost controller. The vacuum line going to the boost controller he said just to tie that up so I don't have a boost leak.

I'll double check the model. I also got told though from my mechanic I can plug it out as well and I'll go back to wastegate pressure or something like that?

I'm not sure how to do it, I'd rather leave it to the tuner, the thing is I think it probably technically runs rich when I drive normally as well I just don't blow smoke (unless I do a hot start a bit of black smoke leaves the exhaust, but never have smoke on cold start)

Cheers

Ok cheers. I'll get that tune asap then and probably even do an early oil change.

I noticed my oil on my rb25 stays gold for about 3,500km roughly. Then goes light brown after that. Probably around 4,500 mark it goes dark brown (this is me driving normally with no / minimal pulls as i blow black smoke when i boost) (when I drain the oil it's black at 5,000 no metal shavings though in the filter or oil) I noticed now that it's been under 3,000km and it's dark brown. I think it's because I've been doing a few pulls more than usual (pulls means, in first gear going up to 5000-7000 rpm) My oil doesn't smell like fuel at all, and isn't causing me any issues but I don't want to get bearing wear (yes I'll be getting my car tuned soon to) I don't know if it's just me or if my oil is a bit thinner (I'm comparing brand new oil to oil that has roughly 2,500km from memory so might not be a good comparision.

What are your thoughts on using the red Permatex stuff? My rocker cover uses that and I didn't want to mix it incase it causes problems. Or maybe I'm overthinking it.

Does anyone know when removing the throttle body if you can re use the throttle body gasket?

Ah right, mine has probably been thrashed by one of the previous owners lol but I baby it. Cheers!

Is that a design fault by Nissan then?

Ah ok, yeah for the r34.

Ah right, I wasn't going to mess around and install extra crap. Surely it should work right out of the factory lol

I'm not sure if skyline's have it, I haven't been able to find info on it.

There is no seal, that's the thing.

Not until I googled it, now I remember lol. Seems like it's just to clean it up. But it doesn't stop the leak, I have a leak issue though? Thinking whether I need a new bottle, surely not lol.

Does anyone have issues with their reservoir bottle leaking?? Mine I swear is always leaking from the cap, I realised there is no gasket, are they supposed to have one?

why poly instead of rubber, doesn't it ride a lot stiffer now?

ah right haha

Ended up figuring it out but cheers! Those look great btw! What colour bulb are they?

I had a mechanic recommending one for when your car is modded (I'm guessing because you are making an already worn fuel pump work harder, preventive maintainence), I was curious if your position has changed on this matter?

I thought I heard if you do this it can drop a cylinder?

Gosh these bmw's are worse money pits than JDM's! I won't complain about my car anymore 😂

Nice colour and welcome!

You gave me another reason to avoid poly bushings 😂
