Would a faulty Throttle Position Sensor cause the Z to run In Safety Mode???

Ok, here's one for ya! Had the Zed on a rollin road last week, all stock apart from big twin exhaust. Was told about de-catting, but as usual, thought about questions AFTER I had left the place!!! :rolleyes: Stock '91 Jap TT,....how do I de-cat??? can i get to the ceramic bricks with the exhaust on the car? do i have to buy a replacement section of pipework underneath the car? or do i have to buy new down-pipes? not havin access to a ramp/pit really hampers a good head scratchin sesh to work out what is what and see how the thing is set up!! Anyone with anyone pointers? Cheers All Brett

Yay! Finally got around to doing the inner brake / fog light conversion. :dance: Used relays on each light so that not only are the brake lights dual-function, but dummy loads (10ohm resistors) are switched in so you don't get the "LIGHTS" warning on the dash :nana2: A well spent evening I think- time for a beer! :duffer: Mark [NB In my text and diagram below I originally made a mistake on the resistance required. I originally said 10 ohm when it should have been 6.8 ohm- bear that in mind when reading the responses!]

Noticed a bit of an odd problem today, whilst hooning around the car felt a little sluggish and I noticed that Im only getting around 5-6psi of boost, bugger i think, either a boost leak or safety boost (possibly from dett as its a bloody hot day...) stop for a little and have a check over the visible TB and IC air pipes, no obvious problems so I carry on my merry way, problem now gone, back to pull 9psi.... little further down the road, im now only getting 5-6... arse... turns out that if I stop the car and switch off, then start again I'm back to full boost, but not for very long!! ECU diag comes back with 55 so all clear as far as the dett/knock sen…
