1 What is the tyre pressure for a UK Z? 2 Does anyone know a good service centre near Dudley, West Midlands?

OK .. someone explain to me what they are all about. I have one fitted to my car. It was there when I bought it. Am I right to say that it fools the ECU into providing more fuel to the injectors? If it does, what good is it when you have standard injectors? I haven't checked what injectors I have at the moment but I would like to know the benefits using standard injectors. Surely they max out at a standard rate anyway. I am rather confused on the use of the AFC and would like to know more... Also, if you do have an AFC I presume it is a good idea to have a gauge to indicate if you are running too rich or lean. Can someone give me the lowdown on AFC's …

:cry: Had a major disaster on the way home the other night. After parking the Z up loads of steam started to appear from the right hand side of the bonnet! On lifting up the bonnet I could hear loads of hissing and to my horror saw fluid leaking out from just above the drivers side turbo. Couldn’t see much as it was dark. Drove the Z to my local garage the next day and you wouldn’t think it had a problem. Boost fine, temperature fine and no funny engine noises. On parking up the Z, loads of steam emerging from the bonnet this time, turns out the drivers side head gasket has failed and lost all the water out the rad due to oil contamination weakening one of the rubbe…

Cheers John Crisp

Hey guys, I removed the silencers in my 1990 TT last night and what a difference as they were knackered!! Didn't make any difference on noise but the turbos kick in far better. Just wondering if i can remove the CAT's as well or would this be harmfull for the turbo's? Cheers Paul
