I am having a boost problem. I have an autometer ultralite boost gauge which, at idle is showing around -18 (in.hg) and when accelerating hard only goes up to around 5 psi. I have an aftermarket ECU and boost jets fitted and normally would get to around 12psi. When driving normally the gauge used to sit around the 0 mark but now is around -10. I have checked to see if any pipes have come off, but can't see anything obvious. I also only use Optimax, so I don't think detonation should be a problem or I am in safety mode. :confused: Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Cheers Jeremy

Hey guys! Me AGAIN!! Right seeing as my car now closely resembles Darth Vader's bathroom inside i think i'll try to approach the dodgy headlight issue. When i'm driving at night i might as well have a bloody granny with a lighter infront of me cos they sh*te. now at some point there has been a modification because there is new wiring from one light to the other and off somewhere else. Also the headlights now run on hid 100w lamps. Is this normal? The problem is even with these bloody great wattages they're still utter crap. My main beam is like daylight and my dip beam might as well not be there - my fog lights are brighter than the headlights!!! If th…

Guys Just a thought, without the original loom wire on the temperture sender unit, I presume that my fan wont cut in to aid cooling when hot. I have the apexi sender unit and wiring running so is it as easy as splicing the apexi wire and joining the OEM loom? Or ill this stop both from working? TA. M. ;)

My HICAS light was on when i got tha car and was old it had been disabled. Not entirely true as the system was low on P/s fluid so topped it up and the light now gos out for about the first 10-15 mins of any journey. It then comes on and stays on?? Ive checked the fluid and its fine, the system works if you give the car some grief when the light is off but stops once it comes on. Any ideas where to start in getting the hicas fixed?

Hey folks - I need advice - hope someone can help. Some bushes need replacing on my 300ZX. One garage described them as 'tension rod bushes' and the MoT place called them 'track control arm inner bushes'. I THINK they mean the same things by that but I'm not 100% sure! Any idea where I can get some of these bushes? Also, could I fit them myself or should I get a garage to do it? I'm not the cleverest mechanically! Cheers people! Tim

You seemed to be spending more time looking after your z than maintaining the jets that are keeping this country safe :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I have recently had the front suspension changed to the original shocks with lowered eibach springs. The ride is now very good however it seems to make a squidgy noise which it didnt before on the old setup. When you look in the engine bay on the top of the shock mounts there is the bit that sticks out. Well, when I bounce the car this moves up and down a little which Ive been reliably informed it should not do, It should be solid! The guys who fitted this suspension at a local garage needed to order extra bits from nissan to fit it. Those parts are as follows :- 0122500231 - nut hex -------------x5 089123401A - nut hex -------------x2 5611733p20 - …

If anybody has any pictures of where they mounted their ballast units for H.I.D lighting please can you post a couple of pics, it would be gratefully appreiciated. ;) Thanks in advance. I know people say under the light, behind the light etc, but The passenger side light seems more restricted on space than the other :confused: So pics will be GREAT.
