Installled new head unit. Working well and much better sound.

What connector is that? it was connected in the old head unit

If that head unit is like mine should have wires in the loom labelled key1 / key 2. Tap into that connector red to key 1, green to key 2 and yellow to ground.

Speaking of which, in what was perfect timing my factory Bose unit died (at least the AC was stuck at 18°) . It'd been playing up for a few months, not playing nicely with the Grom USB2+. Luckily I'd already gathered the required replacement parts and had them sitting there ready. Cheap Chinese Android head unit with a PAC ROEM-NIS2 interface unit (because i'm lazy)

It's a shame that it doesn't fix the actual part of the intake that causes all the restriction.

Yes steering wheel control plug . Previous owner of my stag had it all working to a degree i replaced headunit and have since lost all controls

whether it is possible that the connector is somewhere else

Because I dont have buttons on steering wheel ;)

From memory the plug has about 6-7 cables running to it from the loom only 3 operate the steering wheel controls or are needed ? I could be wrong in saying this but most cars from base model to top of range have same looms and plugs in place it just a matter of weather they utilise them for that model

It's barely a restriction though. Think of those whale pen15 intakes on Hondas. It still only goes to the throttle body inlet size.. same goes with the turbo inlet... it's only gonna suck what it can spool... if that makes sense. It's more on the compression side that it really matters

Having a huge chunk of air sitting there ready to go will help improve response/spool.

Good lucking pushing over 200kw without swapping the lower intake pipe. Where with an after market one you can push over 300 so I think it is rather restrictive

You obviously haven't removed the suction pipe yet...

Context is more along the lines of having a daily driven than chasing powaaah. Velocity stack on end of turbo ftw then.

Ps found the link to the 2009 post and no. Haven't removed that part yet.

So as some of you know last Thursday my car was stolen from my driveway, it was found on Friday morning crashed into a tree. I’m pretty gutted as I have put a lot of work into it. Here are some photos of the damage caused

The same day that I came from the salvage yard, this was waiting for me at my desk. It’s the grill that I ordered from Japan in November

That is fkn terrible. Arseholes.

Nobody saw anything?

Presume it is a write off?

I asked neighbours, and my street there is normally someone outside, nobody saw anything.

It is getting assessed by the insurance company today, but i dare say it will be a write off

I grieve for you.. buy it back and sell off the parts or put towards another stag?

If the insurance co operate, i do plan on buying it back, keeping what i want, selling what i dont, then buying another and starting again

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      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?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      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.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      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.
