Boostworx. They fix all of my GTR issues! Hooray!

My car was cutting in and out a few months back, would happen randomly, etc. Turned out my battery terminals were loose, causing some kind of electrical surge into the system. It even caused the Hicas light to turn on and off and everything was going crazy! The power steering was cutting out, etc. But a autoelectrician fixed that issue.

yeh my hicas light comes on occasionally but i just figured that when its trying to work because i got a lock out bar :(

well tonight after work i was trying to replicate the problem... "great success!" (Borat ftw)

i was reading some posts on similar problems and some1 mentioned if you pull out your AFM plug while its running it should splutter but go to a nice idle and basically retard when you try to rev it over 2 thousand rpm.

i thought what the hell... so i tried it, my car just cut out straight away....put the plug back on and tried to start, no start! started after about 3 minutes but it would idle for about 10 seconds then die! then after about 10 minutes it runs fine!!!! my exact symptons!

and yet again after that episode it wouldnt do it again :P but atleast i found a way to replicate the problem!

that problem should rule out the CAS and ignition module surely??? a bad earth in the AFM cable?

Had my car in at the auto elec today and he is hoping he has found the problem!

there was a dry connection on 1 of the circut boards in the ECU. so i gotta drive it around for a few days and see how i go. atleast now im getting somewhere lol.

but now its running rich as.... i tried to reset the ECU but i dont think it made much of a difference? any ideas?

I was told to unplug one of the battery terminals.. and sit there with your foot on the brake until the battery dies, then connect it all.

But make sure your steering wheel is dead straight or HICAS will fix it..and mess your steering up.. will forever pull to the left

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
