Ash, do you know off the top of your head what the results of that test was. I was half thinking about pulling mine off my Nismo's. Are they just there to cause turbulance for the sensor? It wouldnt hurt to get rid of the metal in the AFM's i would think?
Whether it is related or not I do not know, but in a wind tunnel they use mesh to "condition" the airflow. They also use honeycomb to a similar effect.

I know Paul (DirtGarage) pulled out his mesh long ago when he still had the stock turbos

Be there was a quantifiable gain or not though im not sure.

And ye, you'd think the mesh was there for just dust/bits of poop... but if there is a purpose in a wind tunnel maybe there is more too it?

if you read this article, you'll be down in the garage with a screwdriver to remove the mesh within hours..

I asked in another topic but no replies so I'll ask you instead it must be fresh in your mind..

do you feel any real boost in 2nd or 3rd gear? or does it really need 4500 in 4th or higher, to hit 1 bar?

Yeah, you definitely do feel boost in the lower gears post 4k. If you're taking off you have already broken the 60kmh speed limit by the time you shift to 2nd anyway. I have never gone 4.5k+ in 4th gear, as I don't want my car to be impounded :domokun:

    • interestingly enough, i found out the answer is yes. doing a flush did fix my recurring A/T light. it might have been because of the trans filter: but that doesn't really make sense to me. the fluid/filter was super dirty. would that increase the pressure in the lines and trigger an A/T light? does the car even have a way of detecting that? i have no idea. i've done 200+ miles after the flush and no A/T light. if my A/B solenoids went bad, i would think the light would've come on. shifts and drives way better now though...at 2k rpm instead of 2500...no hesitation and downshifts when i want it to. 
    • I vote go red. Only because I hate keeping gloss black clean. Was no worries helping out either! Glad you've survived the rain outs of QLD
    • I would again like too thank Matt for his help in me sourcing the detachable hard top for the little red car, without Matt's assistance in inspecting it and locking it down, I can guarantee it would have sold before I could get up to see it,  and as that was the only available NC hardtop in Australia, I consider myself extremely lucky on multiple levels To say I'm more that happy would be an understatement And, it is 100% water tight, I drove through torrential rain coming back south, and by torrential, they type of rain that doing 40kph in a 110kph zone was a real thing, and even then, the standing water on the Hwy was deep enough to throw waves I'm also more than happy that the huge "BEASTS" that Matt calls dogs didn't eat me for lunch, I'm sure the sniffs and licks were more to "taste test" me, over being to friendly Now to work out what colour to get it painted, panel match, or gloss black........first world problems are real
    • Actually I might have figured out. Looks like there is a tab according to google images but it's hidden. Silly me.
