Im running stage 3 t25 tubs at 13 psi standard boost. My controller lights up and it beeps to confirm when you change the boost setting so it seems to be ok. When I boot it with the boost contoller off the gauges show 13 psi ( 0.8 bar on the boost controller). When I then turn up the boost to say 1.2 bar the controller confirms the change but when I floor it again it stays at 13 psi! Could this be the controller or something else? Any ideas would be helpfull

I'm in the process of upgrading the speakers in my Zed. Now I'm fitting some neat and subtle Pioneer 6x9s in the door cards. But I also want to replace the rear speakers. Now I took the grille off and what I expected to see was a set of 6x4s. Instead, there's some kind of chassis there and round speakers are in place. Anyone know if these were on a model change? Wanting to know what size the speakers are, they are Bose ones, so can only assume they've been fitted since the car was new. I think they are 15cm, but cannot be sure, looks like I need to take out some of the trim to get it out.

I've found the source of a top end rattle when the engine is warming up. If I disconnect the nearside VVT solenoid connector the rattle disappears, when I re-connect it the rattle stays gone for the rest of the day. How do these solenoids work and are they easy to change?

...My zed has developed a sloppy gear lever. Now, it's just suddenly happened, so not sure if it is the bushes that have gone. Could it be anything else? It's just from side to side movement, up and down movements are fine. Any ideas as to what it is? Also, my tailgate rattles and squeeks around. When you shut it, it never feels like it's shut properly. Is there a way of adjusting this? Ta

The Carfax reports looks super clean. VIN#JN1CZ24D4TX580279 I called Stillen yesterday, gave them the VIN & 96-102 #. All they could tell me was that Santa Fe Nissan sold it here in the U.S.. Called that dealership to see if they had record of it, waiting to here from them. The State's Dept Motor Vehicles has an entry on the report on 5/2005 so I'll call them Monday. The car is allegedly in the U.K. & the person couldn't register it so I'm very suspect. I'm trying to see if some of the military investigators in the U.K can help me out to see if this person is legit. I also have lawyers making sure my tracks are covered. So, if anyone rec…
