Hearing a strange noise on idle from the left (as you're looking at the car) side of the plenum. It only happens on idle and dissapears when the revs pick up.Sounds like a small chain rattle or something......any ideas?

Can you get to it any other way than reaching down the back of the engine with a long extension bar? Answers on a postcard please :bow:

Morning all, Just want to check the best place to fix the inductive pickup from the timing light. I've read on TT.Net not to use the black wire from the PTU and it said you can just clamp it around the wires coming off the no.1 coilpack. Well I tried that and it didn't seem to like it :( How have you guys done it? Thanks Vijay

I've bought a S14 from Japan which should arrive in 2 months time. It has a n/a motor in it which is lsightly underpowered for my liking. I'm toying with the idea of doing an engine swap, but something different. So how anout a VG30DETT engine in a stripped lightweight drift S14? sounds like fun to me. Reason is surely these can be picked up cheap and they should have tons of grunt without the need for modding, plus i'm really after a big V6 sound like from the 350z. Do they sound like that at all? Anyway, does anyone know of anyone who has attempted this? obviously i'd need to fabricate some new mounts, but i'm wondering a) is the engine gonna be too heavy…

Think my auto box is on its way out :headvswal Was driving on the M4 at about 80mph. In 4th and everything was sweet. I floored it to over take but the 'box just went into neutral, I ease off and it goes back into 4th. Its been doing this on and off since I bought the car. This time however, went into what seemed like N, then a loud sharp clunk. Still in 'N'. I eased off and back into 4th like usual. On my way home tonight, same thing, tried to overtake, went into 'N' then a ckunk again. Now, no drive what so ever. I pulled into the slow lane, doing about 50, still no drive. Moved the lever into 2, bit of a jerk then into 2nd gear. Slipped the lever into D, no…

:headvswal :headvswal Can someplease please give me the good news and say this is an easy job to do :rofl: . I have had the baggins bypass so water has been fine for a few months but now a different water pipe at the back of the engine has a slight leak I can see the water dribbling down on turn off :headvswal . I have used SPRAE's engine by numbers picture (thanks SPRAE hope you dont mind) to highlight the area of the pipe i mean, I can undo the top jubilee clip easy enough as the pipe in question is next to the back of the plenum if looking at it it runs to the left then goes at a right angle downwards. Hopefully it is an ok job but how long is this pipe o…
