Is anybody able to tell me? It's just that I picked up my new boss today and it looks small. Just measured it and its about 15mm. Seemed to remember it being bigger last time I took my wheel off.

Set my boost controller the other week to run a max of 1.00 bar and the saftly llimit at 1.10bar. It was running and holding a bar boost lovely. Now when i set it up it was a cold evening (2 degrees C). Last week in the day I went out and on the same settings and got 0.86bar (air temp was about 10 degrees i think). I though maybe i might have changed the settings and forgot, so readjusted so that it was running 1bar on full boost, all was fine again. Went out last night (air temp 0 degrees) it hit 1.16bar even though the controller is set to cut boost at 1.10bar, way way to high (though car went like stink). So readjusted back down and made mental note. Doe…

Hi everyone, been a while since i have been on here, major computer problems ahh well its good to be back. Anyway i hope one of you cleverer than me people can help with a problem i have got with the Z. It keeps flattening the battery which initially i put down to the battery being knackered, however it still does it with a nice new battery installed. Admittedly i do a lot of short runs in it and the weather hasnt helped recently but about 2 weeks is as good as it seems to get. I have stuck a meter on the battery with the engine running with nothing electric switched on and it reads about 13.8v, i suspect it ought to be higher than that, would have thought over 14v. …

They are Squeeling when pulling up slowly. Then when i was at high speeds the steering wheel was rattling. Think i need new brakes :(
