just watchin that vid that matty posted again, and noticed the AFM on the strut tower, not even

connected to the intake... how does that work? me want?

it doesnt. had something to do with the regulations specifying that it had to be connected. didnt say it had to be connected and in use though.

ahhh ok, i thought it was so you could run a solid pipe to pod without havin AFM in between....

but upon actually thinking about it, it wouldnt work..

Well i had some what of a sucessful day. got the Cressy i bough a few month ago running (just an ignition issue in the end) but then found that the headgasket is stuffed (which i suspected anyway). So if anyone wants an 1993 MX83 Cressy with 178,000km's on the clock with a blown headgasket you can have it for $1300. Or i'll do the gasket myself and put $3000 on it.

Also started pulling parts off the CA to clean them up;

EDIT!!

As for the R32 GTR Vs' R33 GTS-t Brakes they both have the same diameter but the GTR rotors are thicker (32mm V's the GTS-t's 30mm)

argh, ive fiddled too much and now the GTR doesnt run smoothly...

ive posted a thread in forced induction, but still:

ive:

removed all the recirculation piping, and blocked off the inlet pipe holes

moved the boost solenoid to a better place

cleaned the AFMs

and put the stock breather hoses and PCV back on, no longer venting gases to atmosphere.

drove fine (with better power steering mind you!) for about 1km, with small amounts of boost,

but now it barely runs, and is stuttering all the time... any ideas what ive done?

where do i start :blink:

Hmm, have you asked if that was okay to use on the AFM's?

I know when I cleaned out AFMs working at sinergy we used Brakecleaner which is a thin liquid that smells really really strongly you can almost taste it and it drys with no moisture left behind.

It has to be the way you plumbed up all the piping etc

i use the stuff at work all day long to clean electronic components

and if it was the pipingm, why would the car run fine for the first half of the trip?

Could have done something and made it over fuel, and now your spark plugs are fvcked hence why it took some time.

Maybe take out your spark plugs and have a look man otherwise I got nfi lol.

Bed time, will check this tomorrow though good luck :).

does anyone know if altering the length of the inlet piping after the AFM will alter the way the car runs? or should the tune pick this up and self-correct??

asking for a little help

posted in borrow section too..

me 'na mate are rebuilding a suzuki f5a 543cc 3cyl hatch atm, engine is out on ground

cant get the flywheel off, etc.

need to borrow a flywheel stopper holder lock tool

anyone?

a screw driver run thru one of the balance holes is usually enough, if not try a steel scrap through the starter hole ..

if you can get one bolt off, use a steel flat bar and make one,, drill a hole in the end , pop the bolt back into it and use a bellhousing bolt for the other end.. works a treat. WD40 helps too..lol

some take a light heat from a heat gun or plumbers torch to get loose.. but dont overheat the rear main seal or it will melt.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      255 can't go wrong with the price.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.

      I dunno what the "best" one is....but when my 040 died late last year, after about 20 years of screaming service....I put in a 255. Like any such thing, you have to finagle it a little bit - it's not a no-brain swap. But it's not hard.
