oops moved to the correct section

Just went out the same run twice to decide whether to junk the HICAS - one with it on, one with it disabled. Was it better - in short yes, definately. Ulitmately I guess it's probably quicker with it or nissan wouldn't have put it on but that's academic if you don't have the confidence to chuck it around. To me, it's also academic if it'll pull 0.1g more in a 140mph corner because I like back road driving. It used to 2 main things that annoyed me: 1) Back end used to feel 'floaty' like it was going to come round on you. This used to happen mainly on bends with a changing radius or when you had to give a quick correction - basically anytime when you had…

How can you tell if your recircs are working? I think my turbos are stalling when I change gear because the turbos take a long time to spool up after a gear change at high revs when before they would already be spooled up. Stuart

In the middle of fitting afuel line kit, all going well. Minor problem is that there is a small metal pipe under the two main metal fuel pipes which run across the plenum (shown in pic). What have others done with this?

Anyone know what the hell this is???? its err, um, very differant!:confused:

Has anyone on here successfully replaced the heater core following the instructions from the Aussie Site. I have removed the black control box but cannot remove the bracket. I am doing all of this without removing the dash. There is a small black box above the control box. I have removed all screws but cannot remove it. Does anyone know what to remove next after removing the control box from its bracket?:confused:

Hi Guys, Looking to swap my exhaust system as the present one has more holes than I wish to admit to, having checked out many of the options I have it down to 1) Blitz Nur Spec V , R or S 2) Greddy Evo 3) Trust cat back Anyone got these? any opinions? not too worried about price will go up to £700 (ish) for the right one The greddy evo seems nicest (in pics) the system I have now was on it when I bought it (Jap spec) and have no idea what it is but had a nice growl to it via the 2 x 4" tips but does not sound too loud at speed..well it it did`nt Main thing is having spent what seems like hours searching the net can not find someone …

Quick question guys At the moment mine is running (in a broad sense) with a superchip.....i know there crap but i have ordered the greddy emanage which is a piggyback ecu so am i better putting a standard chip back on and over riding it with the greddy emanage or does the chip in the ecu not do anything once the emanage is working?? I am just thinking from a reliability point of view because alot of people slate the superchips for reliabilty but if it doesnt matter then i wont mess with it Cheers Kirbz

Ok, I know it sounds weird, but when pressing on the brake, even gently, once you build up enough pressure (not stupid amounts) the I can feel the brake pedal click and it'll drop about 1cm. Any ideas why this is happening? Here's a clue - it most probably has something to do with me changing all the pads yesterday :D Just trying to work out what I did wrong to sort it out tomorrow

Come on guys pick an option or throw down your thoughts... Hopefully I'll manage to do apoll right this time :) Cheers Ben

Does anyone know where i can get hold of a 3 gauge pod that fits in the Radio slot? I have seen them on eBay but they all seem to for lefties cheers james

I just put a new Coolant Temp Sensor and I want to measure the voltage? Do you know in what range is should be?

Does anybody know how much/ and if you can still buy the ferrari/corvette type rear round light conversion. Some of the members here have this done, and as Im hoping to buy one soon this is one of the first visual mods I want to do. Cheers :dance:

A mate has said about having a wider track on the front to the back might be a bad idea........is it best to space the rear aswell? I hadn't planned to. (my new wheels just catch the caliper) a 5mm spacer/shim will sort it. Cheers.

My Zed has been making a strange noise and has only surfaced in the last couple of days. The noise sounds a bit like a clock (tick. tock.) but the sound is not is sequence (ie, tick, tick, tock tick, tock etc.) Any Ideas?. Cheers. :)

When car is warmed up temp gauge goes little bit less than half. I want to install a temp gauge and read the temp in celcious and i want to know where to connect it. Do u know the ECU pin number for that?

as the title says - i know 14psi is the maximum that you should run an engine which doesnt have forged pistons. I would like to hear from anyone who is consistently running more that 14psi on a relatively standard engine. I was thinking about running 16psi - but i just dont know whether to risk it. Regards, Alex

I've got an old gear stick to chop up to make a QS. I was just going to chop the botom off and extend it a bit. Anyone done it? How much did you extend it by? Cheers

Anyone on here done it and recommend a particular brand? The odd ball feeling of the rear end of the car floating that it gives is really starting to annoy me, kinda spooky when you're really pushing on, but worse at low speeds on roundabouts etc.
