What would it mean if a car was spitting and splitting and losing power.

On idle, it's dropping revs and almost stalling.

I checked the leads and they looked ok, but I don't gave a tool to get my plugs out it seemed to have gone walk abouts.

Checked and tighten everything I could. It's a charade btw

Can that....looks like it survived the ordeal.

I suppose you could give it a razor and it could put itself out :P

It even took the pics of your car Cara!! :)

bahahahahahahaha thats well put Pete! nice one!

but the EMU lol had to be killed, i thought it was already dead but it must have just been knocked out, my mate Dale, who lives in Renmark came to my rescue, and he unfortunatley had to kill it, i didnt see it move, but he said it nealry caused a 5 car pile up because it was trying to get on the road and a L plater slammed on the brakes and 4 cars behind him and swerve to miss him....

but on a serious note she will be picked up by my crash repairer tomorow, i was able to get in contact with him yesterday........id hate to know what a new front guard is gonna cost from nissan, i already know the headlight will cost $1800.......

if there are a fair few scratches on my door window does anyone know if they will replace that too?

Scartchs just mean they will sand back and repaint, dents that cannot be removed will mean it is to be replaced

I just love it when I organise someone to come pick the silvia up, spent the better part of this whole week negotiating prices etc, and then I'm told he will be coming last night, changes it to today and Midday, and now his phone is off.......

Its a shame because he looks to be a pretty active SAU user, not just some no name person that seen my FS thread..

FFS!!

running your gt3076 with the .7 compressor housing on your low mount manifold might have clearance problems with your engine mount

when i mounted my gt35 on my 6boost low mount manifold i had to have the engine mount machined down a bit to make it clear

Adrian as i said above^^^^^

I WARNED YOU THAT IT WILL HAVE CLEARANCE PROBLEMS!!!!!!!!!!!

I just left a thing on your FB but I'll post here,

Ummm, every now and then my car will drop idle and bounce round for a few seconds and then idle and drive fine, then other times i'll be cruising at whatever speed/RPM and it'll do the same similar thing just drop like all power etc for a few seconds and then act and drive fine.

In my old VLCT, I experianced the same thing with my RB30ET... Could be AFM's too :\

Hmmm... odd problem indeed. If I were you I'd borrow someone else's CAS to try it out first, no point buying one only to find that wasn't the problem to begin with. Besides Nissan will charge you through the ass for one me thinks. I can get you a price if you really want

    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
