I have a few but none fit down (or up) there properly. I can do it in a minute or two now with my cut down 22mm open end spanner though.

I fitted Whiteline diff bushes in my car today, quite cheap to buy too. It made one hell of a difference too, all the axle tramp is gone and it chirps nicely between gears again, it really tightened the whole back end. My original rear diff bush was totally flogged and was leaking oil.

well on the bright side it will be a good test of banjo sizing.

symptom 1 of too much oil to the turbo will be burning oil at full boost (grey/white smoke)

symptom 2 of too much oil to the turbo is the turbo seal blowing.

If neither of those happen, it's not too large :)

The stock Garrett core will have a restrictor built in so it shouldn't pose too much risk, that said the VQ runs stupidly high oil pressure, I have seen 10 bar on my gauge which I think is it's limit...

I wonder if that had something to do with my issue? Stao told me to drill mine to 4mm.

That seems very large. I did mine with 3mm (think that is what is was, was more like find drill bit to drill after 10 hours under the car changing turbo).

I agree with scott, 2.5mm max.

John from Precision recommended I drill mine to 4mm; so I did. No issues with mine.

Oh joy. Replaced another AFM.

FML.

I popped my new genuine Nissan one after about a month; failed just as the car started.

I bought a WRX one the 2nd time. It seems to be going fine.

It fits about 4 billion different models, so at least they're easy to get.

What number are you on now? I think I've killed 3 now.

Did you buy new last time, should be under warranty surely.

This is the 2nd one thats died in 4 months.

Got a 2nd hand one last time from a wreckers which they gave me 3 months warranty on - failed after 4 months to the day. lol

Today Craig and I, well lets be honest mostly just Craig fitted the plenum spacer, scotty's coolant mod, transgo shift kit and finally got around to doing the fun switch mod.

Improvements?

Shifting is definitely faster and I actually think smoother. I havent driven it alot yet but we stalled it up and even with the fun switch off the boost is coming on much stronger. Will see how it goes after I drive it a bit. Still have a random stalling issue but hopefully will get that sorted soon. The car is getting there :)

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Milkmun · Posted

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
