Had to have my exhaust welded up to get through the MOT. Had thought it was stainless all the way through but it isn't. Now I am off up to blackpool at the weekend and have seen this one on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=360039500852&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=023 Any of you guys had experience of them or know if this is a good exhaust. I know this is for a 2+2 but they say they can do me one for a shortie as long as I go to them. What do you think? Darrell

Hi All, Does any1 know if these would be a good upgrade over stock? Aswell as fitting do you think they would be hard to fit. :confused: Thanx

Hi people, I received my Greddy Profec B Spec II Boost Controler today :hyper: I've looked at the plumbing and wiring instructions and I get most of it but not all :rolleyes: and was wondering if someone local(ish) would be willing to help me fit and set it up (for an exchange of beer tokens of course) and I'll drive to you Also, I'm guessing I may need some extra tubing and maybe some 'T' pieces would I be correct with that as you only get one valve/solonoid jobby type thingy ?

Anyone know where I can get the heat shield/padding to go on the inside of the bonnet? Mine's looking rather tatty so could do with being replaced. No damage to paint yet though luckily!

I assume my water pump is kaput but before dismantling thought I'd ask for any advice. Temperature started going up & with heater set at a high temperature no hot air was coming out (fan blowing set on hi). Heater would then cut in & temp. gauge drop back to mid position. Now heater won't work at all & gauge heads north after about 3 miles. Any advice very welcome.

The project in well and truly underway :smash: Today I finished fabricating the template for the drivers side exhaust manifold, taken about 3-4 hrs but I am happy with the fit and the shape - I think! Pictures are posted and before anyone moans about the welding they are rough tacks and I am not a trained welder :tongue: I think the path around the back of the engine will just squeeze in I hope as it flows nicely to the passenger side. I am about to start on the drivers side which will be tricky as it has to run along side the feed from the passenger side before the meet where the aircon pump sits. The turbo arrived today to, it's big and going to be a sque…

Tried to find this answer by searching but got nowhere. Does anyone know what level safety boost is? I'm running .05bar at the moment and am not sure if this is safety boost. Can anyone help? Andy

i am having problems with my brakes .[ i think anyway ] i know the tt has got abs which stops the wheels from locking up . but i can stamp on my brake pedal and there is no attempt of the wheels even locking up . they just don't feel like they are working as they should . the only thing i done is replace the front pads after the mot . since then they have not been right . could this be just a case of just bleeding them out . and replacing the fluid . i changed my brothers front pads and his stops fine . so am lost at the mo as to which way to aproach this . any ideas and info would be great . :headvswal:headvswal

Dyno-BOOST is a fully adjustable, programmed performance control unit designed for all vehicle fitted with ECU, simply wires inline with the factory harness of the IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor and into the plug of Oxygen sensor(s) in the exhaust. You will receive crisp acceleration, much more horsepower and torque, lower quarter mile times and surprisingly increased throttle response. Installation is easy, no - special tools or expertise required. Gain +15-35 additional HP, and extremely dynamic acceleration by up to 30 % in contrast to factory engine performance. It works in conjunction with stock ECU and will not affect engine reliability or endurance. Original E…

Hi, Everyone with modified 300's do you find that your cars use allot of oil? Reason why i ask is that it's been just over a month since i've had my car back, last night a really loud grinding noise come from the engine and grinded to a hault, checked my oil levels and it was almost empty, assuming this noise was because there is no oil. I know bloody huge deal, checked oil only few weeks ago. Keeping in mind i've only had it back just over a month and i only drive it weekends and the odd occasion during the week does this sound right for amount oil it's burnt?

Ok just done a search on here on a few gearbox related problems, I wouldnt say mine was of a major issue but here goes. Got a noise with clutch out which is obviously an internal noise problem, i know its not gunna affect the box much and can last a good few thousand miles until it gets really noisy and rattley but its a bit annoying and im looking to have it sorted in the near future. It makes the noise when in 1st and second also. before you ask yes ive checked the gear gaitor and its fine ive even added a bit of sound dampening material..... I also get a rattle/ vibration when pulling off at about 1000/1500rpm in first and second and a bit in 3rd then it…

Sometimes it does and sometimes it's fine????? I have the R33 GTR set up with DBA slotted discs (brand new). Someone told me it may be tension rod bushes but not too sure??? Anyone have any pics of these and how much are they to replace and how easy to replace? If not this what else could it be?? Cheers Alex 07944045178.......

I'm trying to install a stillen short shifter... I might have a problem. Half of the rubber piece from the part called "shifter support plate" sits on top of the stillen assembly..

Well after 6 months of being locked away for the winter, i finally pulled my blue baby out of the garage yesterday, gave her an oil change, put the dash back together (from doing my indglow dials & speedo rings and havin Groover to the pods) connected the jump leads and she roared back to life on the second attempt :hyper::dance: You could have seen my smile from miles away :D i was like a little kid at Christmas :hyper: Topped up the brake fluid and amazingly managed to get the brakes working so took her to the nearest jet wash blew off the dust and gave her good clean. With the brakes now working decided to drive her upto to Tamworth rather than call the AA and th…
