Have had the car off the road for 2 weeks now fitting my BOVS and I've had to abandon the job whilst I order some silicone hose :rolleyes: Not sure if anyone would have done this before, but would there be any problem running one BOV and one original recirc for a week or so until I can finish the job properly?

Yello, Im installing my ACV-R at the moment. Where have people mounted their boost detector? The little round black thing with one hose going in to it. The only place I can see accessable is by the cruise control thing. Thanks Stuart

Any one got fitting instructions for Stillen rear tailgate spoiler. I have purchased one but don't know exactly where to fit it.

I've been trailing through the whole forum for a while now and just reading up on it. I have a few questions anyhow for people to verify for me. 1) Jap spec front seat belts are different from UK spec front seat belts. Correct? 2) Also, you could poss fit UK 3 point rear seat belts in a Jap import? 3) Could poss fit a S2 selt belt on a S1 car? In any case if you can't fit a UK spec front seat belt on a Jap import, who has a driver side one so I can take it off your hands. Dont mind swapping them for the UK belts I got... and I've got 4 of them! >_

Is there much to choose between different models, and does anyone have a photo of one fitted?

Does anyone want to give me the bad news about what gone Pete Tong this time, based on the video clip below? I've got a pretty good idea already... When driving, I get clouds of dirty smoke and backfiring from the exhaust. And to cap it all, I've only just put the engine back in after fixing the big end bearings. www.symatix.co.uk/300zx/ItNeverRainsButItPours.wmv

Hi guys, I'm trying to pin down my stall-after-dump problem and after going through all the menus on my Super-AFC2 I found one which I think says 'decel adjust' (haven't got car at mo so can't tell for sure). When I go into this screen Ive got three options: first one is four *'s but can be adjusted upwards in percentages, and the other two are both set at 10% (I-something 1 and I-something 2). I think that once these are set correctly I may be able to solve my problem. Could anyone tell me what theirs are set to? Cheers for any help, Dave.

After a couple of replacements with PIAA bulbs at £26 a time. I decided to use the H3 conversion using the fuse plug holder method rather than the soldering way, which works brilliantly. Now the next thing was to get brighter H3's, used the 30% brighter jobs, not too good, then I found some on Ebay. They are super white H3 5000k 55w draw but 100w output, same technology as PIAA, but for wait for it at 0.99p/ pair + £6 shipping. Arrived a couple of weeks ago ( took 10 days ) but they very good. Put one in and compared it to the PIAA on other side and I would said they are brighter. Has not blown yet! worth a try if you want a cheap upgrade, just…

right , is it possible and how hard would it be to put a zcentre tail skin on my zed AND a spoiler. the tailskin is here http://www.zcentre.co.uk/spoilers/zc005a.htm and the spoiler is here http://www.zcentre.co.uk/spoilers/zc019.htm so can it be done ??? :dance:

when doing the conversion which is the best option, cutting the auto harness off the autobox and joining or just bridging the inhibitor wire under the bonnet and extending the other wires does also does it need to use the neutral switch on the manual box? Richard
