I dropped and changed the oil in both diff's

the oil that came out was putrid and like it had turned to water. glad i did it.

also got scotty to make me up a new "pre throttle body" IC pipe (the one with the BOV attached to it.) Have a look. gonna get some 3m sticky heat shield and cover it up. should look good

Easy to drop the oil in the diffs?

Me thinks a Tutorial is a good idea :D

good idea. might write one up on the m35info forum if the mod's want?

took me 20 minutes each diff + the time it would take to take the tray(rock deflector thing) off the front

you need a 1mm Allen key 3 quarts of diff fluid - should take two and abit.

same as servicing the transfer case.. drain with bottom allen key bolt, close up. fill with top allen key bolt until it overflows. pretty simple honestly.

dont know if u notice a difference in drive, but gives you piece of mind knowing you've done it.

I think if you come from S.Africa, its called a Ellen key.... (saw it written on a S.Africans toolbox - lol)

Anyways Going to strip, clean, and re-set the Throttle body this weekend. Any tips?

I got the reset idle air volume instructions etc etc... anything else i should know, what to touch/ what not to touch?

also interested. i cleaned the visible part last night. now warm idle is 750ish RPM

oops.

can it be reset?

Depends. Not on my original one it couldn't.... unless Iain has somehow managed it.

I think I may have stretched whatever is in there because my warm idle was just over 1100rpm (cold was around the 1600rpm mark)

Edited by iamhe77

650 +/- 50rpm is factory spec, so 750 shouldn't be an issue.

Mine idles 550-650 (500 when hot). No issues at all.

Guess it just comes down to how comfortable you are with it.

yeh. if i come accross a second hand one, i'l grab it and fix it. but i think it will be on the 'when i can be bothered' list

why not clean and re-set the idle...?

Nothing to stretch in there - its only cogs/motors/sensors afaik

mine is about 750 at the moment in N or P, about 700 in D.

Did the other shopping trolly (that has done 175k Kms) today, cleaned TB and MAF, good result -idles much smoother now :thumbsup:

Cam had one that wouldn't set the idle after cleaning. Mine is the same. I don't mind an 800rev idle in drive though.

Mine may not set the idle any more due to the engine light being on and the ecu in fault. It will drop the revs after the learn but the next time I start it the idle has raised again.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
