(Manual, 121,000km with light mods turbo 3 inch exh. pod filter, boost T. splitfire coil packs)

Okay so i spent all day re-spraying my rocker covers and spark cover...assembling everything back together..

the throttle body gasket bloody snapped, only like a quarter of the corner came off but there is still bit of gasket on there didnt mean too..so i was like 'meh' bolt it back up again..

then decided to go and spray the cam gear cover..in the middle of trying to take it out i rotated the TPS. i wasnt sure if i was meant to rotate it..cos the damn thing wont come off unless I screw off the bolt holding it in..so i was like f*** it..bolt it back up again..

Re-connected battery terminal, started up my car and it idled high at first then dropped back down after 10 seconds..to normal idle speed...THEN the revs dropped further, the engine was a little bit shaky and the exhaust tips were shaky as well..and it was blowing toxic fumes than normal..it sounds like it's 'put-put-put-putting' almost like a drag car with race cams..

please help ..cheers guys!!

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
