Anyone got one? Any good? Need something better to handle the 555,tubs and more boost...

Weired one this but i seemed to have loost boost since Sunday? I have a Greddy Profec B 2 spec and all seems well with the controller it reads boost ok and all settings seem fine. There are no loose hoses all are tight and all electrical connections also seem ok. Whether i seem to set LO or HIGH i can only get 0.5 bar ?????? I think it's the valve but could it be the ECU and should i disconnect and re-set this to see what happens???? Anyone ever had this problem? Cheers

heard these mentioned a lot, er......what are they??

I have removed the whole HICAS unit all the lines fitted the eliminator bar, what is the best way to bypass the pump that fed the HICAS system? Can I just isolate the main feed line from the power steering fluid pot that branches into two on the pump it self or will this seise the pump? just the Hicas side not the power steering side. Or will I have to do it a different way? also the power steering pot has two spigots 10mm on the side. am I right in thinking I only need one of them now? I have added a pic if its of any help

Hi, Been getting power steering problems lately and praying it's not the pump :confused: It's generally being inconsistent, But just noticed it's worse the warmer the engine. Fluid level seems fine as I know these are prone to leaks. Also i've had the universal joint go on previous Z's which just feels completely different. This time it's going stiff/smooth on a turning circle. Sometimes it's fine. Is there anything else i can check?

hi there guys i'm in need of some major help. I bought a set of downpipes and decat pipes for my jap spec 1991 300zx manual twin turbo and get fitted. I bought a the set from ebay from a seller in the US, they seem like the standard set that everyone gets i think. Anyway, my friend had a look today and says it doesnt look like they will fit, he says the standard pipes have an extra pipe going into them and the downpipes which i bought dont have a hole for that. I'm totally lost at the moment. Can someone give me some advice on how to get these on. The link for the pipes which i bought is below: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1,1&…
