MAJOR PROBLEM: HKS SQV2 BOV, Need advice from people running BOVs! Hi there, I installed 2x HKS SQV2 BOV today. I bought the universal kit so I had to buy 2 caps at the hardware store to plug both holes from the air inlet pipes where the stock recirculation valve were spitting back to the intake. I bought all brand new clamps for the installation. The universal kit also comes with the hose adaptor for the vacuum that goes on at the back of the bov. It The large side fit the OEM hose, then I added a vacum a bit smaller that connect to the BOV nipple. I made sure that everything was very tight and nothing was moving. I added zip tie and a clamp …

Saw a couple of Zeds roll past at Lakeside last night on the roundabouts, anyone here? I was in an e30 beemer.

Is there anyone in Nottingham or nearby that can help me fit a cambelt in the near future? Cheers!

I have got the Z booked in on the rolling road at John Noble next week. The new engine seems to be running very well... But every single time I go full throttle the boost maxes out and hits the limiter on the pro spec 2, as soon as this happens the power drops off and clouds of fuel come out the back. I have tried turning the pro spec 2 right down but it still hits the limit (12 psi in low mode), just takes a little longer to get there. Its fine at 3/4 throttle just not full, every time. So... Its going on the rollers to be setup by the pros I'm just hoping its not a leak or rubbish actuator causing it

As above..... .......I took the ZX to the Lake District last week and yet again the car was faultless (passed 90k mile mark whilst away too) :bow: Over 1200 trouble free miles including a rather quick 300 mile trip there. It's what these cars were made for afterall - fast motorways and faster A-road travel. It made short work of the cross country trips too, having plenty of mid-range grunt to pass the crawling old folks on their hols at this time of year :cool: I even took it over the Wrynose and Hardknott Passes; the latter was a bit hairy in a wide, powerful car but it was no real problem. At one point a chap in a Zafira in front of me decided to film m…

Spotted a red Z at Ringwood Carnival, it was actually part of the procession! Anyone on here?

OK, im thinking of purchasing a HID kit for my Z, ive installed them before and know how they work etc, but, ive heard that Z headlamp units are extremely difficult to work with, how true is this? Secondly, ive heard that an extra wiring kit may be need for the UK, spec as a pose to the Jap spec, also how true is this, and if you have any more more information it would be grately appreciated... cheers, guys Dan dannyjhunter@hotmail.com

Hey all My car has got some jap coilovers on it at the mo but the are rock hard and seriously low. Can anyone recommend a good set up for road and track? Id like to stick to coilovers as I havent got any of the original parts. Then I need to get some adjustable tension rods etc as its running on standard equipment. I replaced the engine loom and in so doing removed the interior and dash, repaired anything that needed it and put in some new "chunes" as well (thanks ebay!). Found a couple of loose hoses in the engine bay and having put it all back together with a new ptu and plugs and coils it runs like a dream. It was smoky but now seems to have cured it…

Only the 2nd one i've seen on the road and he put his foot down :dance: i'm running at 15psi in manual uk, and it left me on the A12. i got up behind it droped in to 3rd, revs went up to about 5k then went for it. and this thing just pulled away. well it has got 478bhp and is alot lighter. it was a G reg any one raced a more expensive car? i think that an F40 must be worth 300-400K

Hi. I have a chance of running at woodbridge airfield over the winter( on the bike, brrr), but may get a go in the car too. So, how hard is it to get rid of the restrictor? :p Where is it? what does it do?

Has anybody noticed all the stage 3 chips on flea bay claiming 400rwhp at 17psi. :rofl: :rofl: I mailed a guy bidding saying the claims are bullsh*t as it cost me 3k to make that kind of power and he told me "it dont cost that much ,you were ripped off and mind your own buisness".What a twat,hope his fookin pistons melt :wack: .

finally picked up my z today! spent 4 hours turning pink paint back into red. look okay?

I'm having my car repsrayed in a couple of weeks and have been striping it ready. I've found some rust in the drivers rear wheelarch shown in the pic below. Does anyone know the best way of fixing this? Is it simply a case of shaping some metal and welding it in or would I need to buy a panel to cut up? There was a nut there that the bumper attached to.

ok did the RR day with a local car club today , there were a few evo 6's a bmw m3 evo a N/A supra , couple of 200sx some one offs and a few others, the Z did us proud, a 17 year old classic car was the most powerfull and had the biggest increase over standard bhp as well( will put the plot up later) 375 bhp and 380lbft That doesnt tell the real story though, its about the fitment of the underdrive pulley and the difference it made, the last RR at the same place was 369 bhp and 368lbft so the BHP increase was only 5( very warm day today though so with the same temps the operator would say 10 is likely) but the torque was a whopping 12lbft , not only this but the …
