Well just got back from a quick test run...

Took me a couple hours to fit the climate control's hot/cold door actuator and the rest of the interior I had to take out to get to it... mate of my soldered the dry joints last night...

and IT WORKS! Holy smeg! I haven't had a working climate control since I bought the car and I >finally< have airconditioning at my whim!

RAWR!!!

feel the power! revel in its awesomeness!

Thanks to madaz for showing me the tutorial link, I probably would have missed it otherwise. I owes you a brewski mon!

hey guys,

got my car today.. and it dies whenever i clutch in when it warms up..

its got apexi turbo, stock ecu, stock afm, bov blocked off, 3inch turbo back.

any ideas on wat would be causing it?

^ could start with like a process of elimination of things Adrian.

first thing that springs to my mind is get someone to make it stall the way it usually does while you watch from outside. If there's any black smoke coming from the exhaust it's simply too rich at idle/off throttle. If not, you've eliminated overfuelling to be the cause at least :D

Mine did the same Adrian when I used to clutch down to change into 2nd. Sif you never msg'd me to meet up somewhere so I can see the car.

sorry man i JUST finished work! catch up tomorrow night?

Hey was thinking bout going into town friday night or sat night as well!! Gouger street you say eh, might see if wifey's keen n head in!

im interested if others are, last time i went they had those cut out new lancers with forza 2 hooked up to the steering wheel n pedals n stuff schooled all the people around :D for free i might add.

plus ill be done with uni for the year and in need of alcohol :P

try unblocking your bov and run the standard one and see how you go?

Well, while we're being stupid, I'll run a pipe off the back of the turbo into the cabin, then I'll be too deaf to hear them complain :D

and be killed by the noxious fumes.

... win win really. :P

and be killed by the noxious fumes.

... win win really. :wub:

Yeah well I get that already when I only open the front windows, sucks in a lovely aroma of unburnt fuel (see my profile :laugh:)

But yeah I reckon thats a goer, I'll get on it tomorrow :D:P

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
