Detailed mine, and put it under a car cover again (sigh... I wish I had a garage: that way I could actually SEE the car when its not in use!). Pretty sure I'll be whipping the covers off again soon: the weather's starting to get nice and chilly again!

Had my AFM die on me. Boosting up a hill the power just cut out completely, it would barely idle and wouldnt rev. Fortunately i managed to limp the car home by disconnecting the AFM.

Fearing an expensive replacement was on the cards i soaked the AFM with some contact cleaner, let it sit over night and then tired it out in the morning. Amazingly the engine started up great, idled perfect and drove fantastic. In fact its driving better then ever, i went on a 100km drive this arvo with a whole bunch of blasts of the throttle. Fuel consumption is better and revving feels a lot smoother.

I'd recommend giving your AFM a clean even if its functioning well. Next weekend i'll try cleaning the wife's V35 AFM which is working fine to see if it shows an improvement

Serviced the car last night, oil (trying ULX110), filter, replaced belts, air filter and spark plugs (NGK)...... My car had a slight miss under big load and my economy was pretty average (6/7km per litre) One of my coils was covered in oil (the side that I had my rocker cover gasket changed under warranty) .......needless to say I was pretty impressed. Also I had 3 different kinds of plugs in the car NGK Denso and some wierd jap one WTF, all finger tight (washers on bottom of plugs werent even crushed) :unsure:

Wat? Your kidding, dealer serviced?

Thats a job I would be doing myself, so you can check the plug tubes are clear of oil. They wouldn't even tell you by the sounds of it...

I service my car but haven't done the plugs until now.....I am a qualified mechanic, but when the car was in warranty period (3 months) I got rocker cover/ srs light/ swaybar links/ disc machine blaa blaa done, As I figure I am paying all this money, I am not working on my daily when I don't have to.....

Also when I got it onto the hoist i have noticed I have a couple of very bald (camber) rear tyres and most of my bushes in the front need replacing, so at last I have a reason for changing wheels and tyres instead of the chrome gayness. Will also be needing bushes ASAP

Now just talking to the guys that did the warranty work. They did the outer rocker seal and the inner isn't serviceable (around the spark plug tubes) and you need to buy a new rocker cover or sealant the shiz out of it and cross your fingers? I take it they warp?, anyone had this problem before? Someone has had a go at the sealant already (as one of coils also had sealant on it).....

I did it but I wouldn't recommend using too much sealant in there, probably best to find another rocker cover, new if possible, but they were over $200 I seem to remember and would have to come from Japan. The plug tube seal isn't replaceable.

Awesome.......I wouldn't bother with a second hand rocker as mostly likely would have/will warp.....I am getting a few quotes on rockers covers now..... but this is money I would rather be spending on suspension or exhaust or on my race car......

Will report back with quotes

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
