ditto.

manual - slipping clutch

auto - bands need adjusting / need a service with new trans fluid

worst case, the torque converter is on its way out.

.........

to add some humour 'slagish', does it spit a lot of slag at other cars :)

i know you mean 'sluggish' ;)

Do the series 2's have a cable throttle body or drive by wire?

I have a similar issue with the M35, the ecu isnt giving me full throttle at low revs, it opens fully at around 3000 revs. I am planning a manual throttle conversion, I just hope the ecu doesnt get upset.

Scooty - mine is the same ever since the highflow was put back in. Notice it quite a bit - especially when cold! Hit 3,000 and it is a treat

Are you using a boost controller? If not try bypassing the solenoid with the ten minute boost mod (post #40):

Or a new set of copper plugs

Yep in the se burbs, near the burv.

Apparently there's a silver s1 or s2 near nunna swimming pools, my mates keep thinking its me :). Other than that, black s2 down Highbury rd recently.

Hardly see any stags out this way.

Back on topic....

Another thought is the vacuum modulator on the trans itself, get under and check for

leaking/cracked/loose hoses. (im not sure if modulator is correct term)

Scotty nm35 - nup cable accelerator, no drive by wire.

RBRyan - possibly in snow mode and the light not lit up at the switch on the console?

Or maybe the wires under the console are loose where they connect to the

snow mode plug?

Kidafa - Never known a trans ecu to have limp mode as such.

The main ecu yes. Anyone know how much the main ecu can

change the way the transmission ecu operates?

ie. shift point or engaging full lock up on the torque convertor.

Kiwi - Probably not advisable to increase boost pressure if there is an underlying

issue. Might make things worse.

ie. if it's the torque converter on the way out, it may make it fail sooner.

Trans ECU can go to limp mode if a shift solenoid is playing up, they will lock out of gears etc.

Take it to RVO, get them to plug into it for diagnostics... cheap insurance IMO.

I am in Toorak, work in the city, am out to mt dande a few nights a week, and geelong once/twice a month... See a black stag up mt dande a lot lately.

Do you guys get an indicator on your dash that you are in Snow or Synchro mode?

On the M35 you get the 4 wheel symbol with the drive shafts linking them to show you are in either mode.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
