Or are adamant that it cant be done. Im sure it can be done. The last person said to me it wouldn't work because its coded to the vw computer. either way id like have that installed. is it possible?

Been doing a boost leak check today and had the car plugged in to some software or other. Anyway, the one I was using had an FCID test (basically turning it on and off). I understand I should be able to hear it clicking when doing this but I can't. So, before I go replacing/taking it out for a good clean, I want to know what affects that actually has on the car. I know it let's the revs drop when turning on the blowers, but is that it or could it have some affect on the running of the car in anyway? The reason I ask is that I can't find much wrong with the car and can't get the IAA to sit at 15, it constantly wants the move slightly when idling. Also the…

Thats not all, get home to find my neighbours brother jamie, parked…

I'm currently measuring the daily drain on an unused but alarmed Z and want to know how low I dare let the voltage drop before the car won't start properly. I'm no sparkie though I'm aware it's actually amps that crank the car, but I'm getting the following readings and at some point the volt number will be too low to start: Sun morning: 12.45v Mon morning: 12.29v Tue morning: 12.09v Wed morning: 11.98v Thu morning: 11.90v ^ these are including opening/closing central locking once per morning, leaving alarmed/immobilized and not starting/driving car

Im removing these flanges for the extra injectors from the hard pipes and either getting the hole covered or a beaded pipe fitted to run a hose between them for a pre throttle balance pipe. Opinions.......

I'd like to say thanks to two members firstly to Hellraiser for selling me some front seat cheap like the budgey, bllody good ones at that, so my old beaten up front have been replaced, and secondly to 300_zedx for literally giving me a late spec interior in the dark velour and bring along to japfest, what a top chap! Anyways, ive sat there cleaning up the panels this week and they will be fitted this weekend pictures will follow :D

Driving on A27 turned off at titnore lane junction a black zed i think reg was K447OYG. Was it you?

Got a standard TT steering wheel that is a bit tatty around the edge, and have seen a few aftermarket ones that I thought would look nice on my zed. The trouble is, most of the boss-kits state that they are not suitable for HICAS unless lock-out bars are fitted etc. Seen one on eBay last night that's quite close to me that the seller says is off a Z32 twin-turbo. I asked him where he sourced his boss for this and he sent me one of the ebay links I've already seen that state 'not suitable for HICAS, etc.' , He stated that the boss has NOTHING to do with HICAS and quantifies this by stating that his HICAS was working fine with the wheel/non-hicas boss combo. From the rea…

If the recircs are making the goose honk noise, will this affect performance? The air is obviously passing due to low spring pressure but its going back into the intake so its not a boost leak, or is it?
