Hi Guys, I have found a small rectangular electronic box under the steering wheel behind the panel above your knees. I have unplugged it and there is no apparent difference with anything and I'm just wondering what it is and its purpose? It seems to be OEM. My car is a Jspec auto TT (93), I thought it might be traffic related? Any ideas? Cheers!....

Did this. It's not brilliant, but I had some fun doing it. Can't seem to get the edges just right, bit it's a start. It's all self-taught. Not using any manuals/how-2s. My aim was to make it look a bit synthetic/teletubbies. Added a Nissan logo too. Dunno if I like it though. I did this for CK300Z last week which I was really chuffed with. It's easier on dark cars with dark backgrounds. I managed to adjust the lighting tone exactly to the new backdrop.

And its a nice looking white one too!!!!

Last time the car went in for work doing they must have lost a wheel nut. Anyone know if it's an MOT failure? I think they are special nuts that came with my alloys but I'll take a pic and see if anyone has a spare knocking about ;)

hi just put new hard pipes and dump valves on car. thing is im getting no whoosh there. i have a suction vaccum ,i can feel it with my finger. i removed pipe from recirulatining valve and it was whooshing out of there on both, so i thought id block these up with a piece of broom handle and then hopefully get the pressure at the top but nothing still. the car is now running like a bag of crap. please can anyone help.

my side repeaters are not working anyone know which fuse it is.... many thanks

I'm just curious if anyone knows what the white 300zx rear bumper is on the Adrian Flux banner? When i say banner i mean the gif on the forum. Acutally second look it is a wirde arch kit. I normally aware of most kits, not seen this one before.

Hi, Ive just got my remapped ecu from john and installed it with my greddy boost controller. While setting up the boost controller it has started running poor. I have turned the boost controller down and tried with it off. I didnt get to use it on hi so i was boosting at about 9 psi max ( Although the boost pressure on the boost controller and the after market boost gauge seem to differ). Problem is if i try to put my foot down the car seems to stumble ( car shakes forward and bacckwards) and then cuts out. It also has been back firing. As i put my foot down its as if the turbos start to spool up and then no power. Ran a diagnostic and came up with co…

When i'm driving along the road and floor it a bit i get a strange noise from under the front of the car Its sounds like a deep tone rising slightly before it disappears Could it be a boost leak or a slipping autobox.Ive got an fmic,chipped ecu, boost jets it only started making the noise after i fitted all this Oh and the turbo's whistle now anyone got any ideas:confused: Jim

Hi all Does anyone know what the flow rate is on standard TT injectors? I know 500cc are an upgrade and are good for 500 - 600BHP but i have seen skyline 440cc injectors for £80 and want to know if the standard TT ones are 440cc or are they less?

Yes its official I have a 'squeeky clutch'. When I depress the pedal it squeeks from underneath car. Popped into Mr Clutch and was told I needed a new one. Labour alone was £260. I have no gear changing issues, no slip, no tight pedal!! Is there an easy lube solution chaps.

Now some things you do see on a regular basis, Pic 1 below a broken fan shroud, nothing unusual about that but look at the second photo to see the cause of it.... the water pump shaft has snapped!! allowing the fan blade and viscous to fly off destroying the shroud and just marking the radiator ( lucky )now you don't see that very often. Will update on when it is fixed and what caused it, I do have a theory already:( anyone want a guess? Jeff TT

here are some pics that you wanted mate - theyre 19/275 at the rear. the Eibachs should drop the rear 20mm. hope theyre useful. :)

Just since the weather has got warmer i can hear my vicous fan more than before, its definatley not the sub fan, but the viscous. When accelerating hard, i can clearly hear it, have checked all the pipes, and heating side and all is good, its not losing water, and the temp is a good as gold. Its driving as quick as it has ever done Why can i hear it so much more, is it as simple due to the ambient weather being warm, as in winter it dosent do it........ Lots of questions i know,

Help... My bmw is driving really rough to a degree where i couldnt drive it this morning. Over last few days it's been getting worse and worse. When you accelerate the car doesn't go, it shakes like it's peaking. The revs take ages to build up and hardly move. I'm going to take a look shortly, what can I try? I'm going to check the plugs, leads, blockages in the air intake, fuses. Any loose pips in engine bay. Anything else? Any ideas??

Being its 20th birthday I thought I'd treat it to 'a few' things: Powertrix front and rear upper arms, and front tension rod KYB AGX schocks and Eibach springs all round Wilwood front brake conversion with 330mm discs Oh, and a brand new bodykit :dance: dont pay any attention to the 18s up front - the matching 19s will be going on once Jeff has fitted the new suspension to replace the [fooked] stock suspension. ...bit better than a cake and a pair of socks, i just hope she appreciates it!!!

Sorry for so many threads at the moment about my engine rebuild but first time ive done this so learning curve. As the headgaskets have failed on my engine i was going to get the heads skimmed but how do i know which size replacement gasket to order? or do i have to wait for the machinest to tell me the size?? Andy

Hi guys/girls, Got about 650 quid to spend on some rims but not sure what to go for. Seen a few sets on E-Bay from a seller called DP-Motorsport. I want 18" minimum and ideally want a deep dish design but I'm open to suggestions. Any ideas would be greatly received. Many thanks, Rob

Found a leak from the radiator which i thought was where the coolant was going down from, filled the car with water to get me home from work, just started her up and theres more water coming out the exhausts. looks like me headgaskets have gone lol really glad im doing an engine rebuild now. just hope the heads are ok and havent damaged them. Andy

Saw you this morning, blew my horn as i drove past in my lorry, very clean car you have.;)

Just got the car in the air to do the water leak (rad p*ssing out at bottom) but while checking the underneath i found a plug disconnected on the same split loom as the steering rack motor? does anyone know what its for?

Just got a rough guide of all my parts for the rebuild, will be looking around about £6000! think ive gone over kill at the moment saying ive only was looking to spend £2000 lol started out being a minor rebuild, pistons and recon the turbos keeping standard injectors etc. then i got carried away building a monster lol large turbos, upgraded cams, injectors, etc etc lol. might go back to orignal plan for time being lol.

Inside out feature As per the title, if there any parts ( not internal engine parts ) that I can dis-assemble and photo with a working explaination let me know here and will do my stuff. Jeff TT
