Is this an acceptable way to install my Greddy Profec B II without struggling to access the wastegate actuators, access and un-plumb the standard boost solenoids? http://www.twinturbo.net/ttnettech/avcr/avcr.html Basically rather that inserting fixed boost jets in the wastegate actuator feed, I’m inserting the boost controllers solenoid. As I am using the existing lines that connect to the actuator I accept that the minimum boost will be 9PSI and not 7PSI Thanks David

hi please help, i was looking at the rear fogs that have had some sort of set up done, was trying to wire up to relay on radio dash were switch is for it. think i wired up wrong and my rear lights went off and the fronts are stuck on high beam, every thing else works less rear lights and normal beam the fog wires i tried to sort out go to the back lights ground and the power comes off the clock power???so how no back lights and front stuck on high i have swapped all the realays over with m8 but no joy??

Hi there. Thanks Jason for realising it could be a propshaft bearing. Anyone going to the grasshopper meet that I could take out for a quick spin to confirm this. If it is this how much can i expect to pay to sort it? Also, exhaust starting to blow a bit, wheres the best place to get performance exhaust?

I have had a good look now and the problem is this. Left hand side all lights work fine. Right hand side....with dip lights on I get a faint glow on the dip but also both left and right full beams glow dim. When I go to full beam I get full beam on the left and all the other lights glow dim...What the fook I'm thinking it must be something to do with the earth's. dip light on the right is back feeding into the full beam, but I dont know how... Please help anyone, Chris..

does the Z have ISO conectors for the head unit?

Where can you find the offset and rim size on a alloy wheel. Can't see it anywheres......? If I wanted to measure these, where do I measure from?

my maf went the other day, wouldnt rev above 2500, wouldnt drive above 2500 now before it went all together, the car used to drive crap, it would miss and sometimes back fire when cold, then when warm it would hesitate when pulling away, then when backing of the throttle it would missfire slightly again, then it wouldnt feather the throttle in, it would just stop then start to judder as if someone was pressing throttle on and off slightly so i put a new maf on and reset ecu (dissconnected batt for few hours) put it all back together and it was great the throttle response was spot on there was no missfire and ran sweet as a nut but now 100 miles on and its b…

hi just a quick one i have the infometer that lets me look at data it has plenty of to look at you can set it so it warns you when at a level. it has temp o2 1, o2 2 ,fuel,ignition. well lots of tech stuff were can i find the reading that the car normally runs at so i can set it correctly

..dude, the spinners are erm...err..'eyecatching' enough...but what's with the blue hair? LOL Wasn't too sure if it was you as I couldn't remember if you had fitted those afterburners to your car.

I just had a go at the handbrake (which nearly reaches the roof now) - Slackened off the 10mm nut on the handle, but which way do I move the star adjuster - up or down? Also, is there only one of these on each side (on the bottom)...??

are they ok? will they fit the 300zx? thank you

Hi all My stock oil pressure gauge is totaly rubbish and doesnt work most the time. I have bought a set of guages one being an oil pressure gauge with its sender. I'm not bothered about the oem gauge so im just going to get rid of the old sender and fit my new one in its place (connected to new gauge). I will probably experiment with connecting the oem gauge to the new sender as well as the aftermarket one as the voltage should remain the same so they should both work. I was wondering though if the ecu monitors oil pressure like it monitors water temp etc, if so what effects could this have? Also is there anything else important connected to the stock oil …

Don't have a clue what to do with this, is there a step by step installation linky anywhere?

Hiya guys. Re: ECU Code 55 - Despite 0-60 in 7 secs :( Well I managed to have a go at reading the ECU codes on the cars ECU today. I opted for the removing the floor panel and rotating that dial on the ECU itself, rather than the diagnostics port in the engine bay. What I found was Code 55 :( so theres no errors whatsoever :( So how come I am still gettin 0-60 in 7 secs ? :cry: I've put 97Ron Premium unleaded in it as apposed to the 95 RON that was in it, and I reset the ECU by taking battery off for 24 hrs just to make sure, its made no difference. My mate will leave me for dead in his L reg WRX although at the mo he admits defeat, h…

it was a grey one looked standard from the rear an u were at the pick up point. in my infinate wisdom i drove up from bristol to pick some one up an found the plane lands tomorrow so another boring journy tomorrow :mad: :headvswal

My driver seat has almost fully disintegrated in the usual place, and I can't be arsed with a re-trim. What is the best aftermarket seat that takes the least amount of work to make fit with the electrics (it's a UK series 2)? I'm more concerned about comfort than race-worthiness (as I have a wide ass - me, not the car), but if there's a racy seat that would bolt-on more easily then I might be tempted. Opinions greatly appreciated.

well just put a deposit down on my Zed, pick it up on Monday. 1993 UK TT turbo Manual Series 3 with 70,000 on the clock, FSH, standard apart from rear spoiler and a set of Azev alloys and powerflow zorst system. Had it on really long test drive (about an hour) seemed a little slow below 3000 but boosted all the way to the line when it came on and pulled like a champion. It Also seemed to running a little rich, so im thinking maybe plugs? or lasy o2 sensors?? Dirty Airfilter??? Also, was a little tappety on start up and was told it had been running 5-40 semi synth all its life?? take it its time to go to 5-50 Pro S???? anyways just gotta count the days…

Fitting new shocks and springs very shortly and just wondered if there was anything else worth doing at the same time. Nothing too expensive but anything that may as well be done whilst its coming apart Cheers
