ok really pissed atm havnt driven car since it has been choking frequently.. now that i have installed a bosch 040.. i couldnt even get out of my street it just kept jabbing itself and all this smoke was coming out of the exhaust and then idling up and down as if about to stall..

now i had this probelm already but not as bad so im thinking i installed the fuel pump wrong?.. cud that be the case?. the positive and negative terminals on the pump.. i have just put wire over the terminal and solderd it on. should that be ok?...

if it isnt my fuel pump what else could it be?. thanks

yeah i tried that already. ive got a z32 afm. however i cant put it in yet cuz i dont have the commander for my power FC to change the afm option... would it still work properly if i changed my afm to the new z32 without changing the option on the FC?

I noticed a few people mention air flow meter and cleaning it.......what does it mean when your car keeps leaking oil into the AFM in a GTST.......my cousins R32 GTST has this problem, it starts, but wouldn't move or rev well, AFM had oil in it.........

ANother thing i noticed, how bloody heavy are the GTST bonets!

I had this problem on the last 2 PFC's i had.  I found if i went to the AFM settings and changed it to another AFM and change it back or even just go into the settings fixed the problem.

Agreed, I'd bet if you put a Commander on it, or Datalogit, you'll find it's got the wrong AFM setting. I had the PowerFC out of mine while doing some mods. On reinstalling it I found it had "defaulted" to another AFM setting... Damned odd.

OK. took the car to UAS and yeah they fixed up my problem! (fuel pump install + spark plugs fouled)

anyways i still have one problem tho. now the misfire thing i had would just happen anytime the car felt like it (happned 4 times tonight) and then the next stop/slow down the idle would jus go retarded and stall. it would drop all the way to 0rpm and come back to 1000rpm then stall. going to give UAS a call tomo but i think theyre closed on sundays. so any help would be good! thanks

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
