Ok guys, I was trying to fix an oil leak lastnight, I changed my turbo return hose for some nice speed flow fittings and a braided hose, unfortunately I still didn't get it....haha

But to the main problem, I took the car for a quick lap around the block to see if I fixed my oil leak and gave it a boot full as it only leaks at high rpm or when it's on boost, and after I backed off and put in the clutch to roll back up out the front the car suddenly was stuck revving at 4000rpm, I quickly popped the bonnet and checked it wasn't the throttle stuck open for some reason but it wasn't it, could the tps be stuck in a position telling the computer it's still open?

Car has a single throttle body, running a motec computer, not running a afm

It's never done this before and I didn't fiddle or disconnect anything while changing the oil return

Does it have idle air control valve like stock ones? If it wasn't single throttle body it would be the seals only other possibility is u blew a intake manifold gasket? Get some brake cleaner and spray around the inlet manifold while running and see if idle changes.

I don't think it has one anymore, I'll try start it now to see if its had a change of heart today and pull the plug on the tps see if it changes

I killed the power from the battery so hopefully its reset the computer if the motec had a fit

If not ill try find some brake cleaner and give it a spray

Haha was on a roll today, found the leak aswell

Must of been a return for the second turbo from factory, how it was plugged up was absolutely s*@t house and was spraying out, got it all fixed now tho

    • 65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.
    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
