I have just noticed some play on the left rear wheel, as I go over potholes and small bumps at speed.. and was wondering what that could be due to? it seems to be so minor from the outside. yet while driving I feel like it is going away to the left, and then comes back on direction as usual. anyone had similar issue? it is not a loose wheel. checked nuts etc. jacked the car up, and it seems to have some minor play. not sure of it's origins though. any ideas?

Hey guys, Z not behaving as she should. Last I took her out was a couple of weeks ago when she was running perfect boosting great. Then I remember on the way home I gave it some foot and it boosted and straight away I felt a jerk and then I eased my way home. But something did trigger a problem with that jerk I felt. Then today I took her out after a couple of weeks and it wasn't boosting right. Basically, upon putting my foot down, the boost kick in point is fine but it doesn't hold boost and it lags and car kinda gradually gets its speed up. Also when it starts to lose the hold on the boost, I definitely hear a loud whooooshhhh sound coming somewhere from the …

Is it possible to remove the motor with the auto box still fastened if the car is jacked on blocks high enough and is there any other way to put slings on with the plenum removed??

Hi guys. Been getting a bit of det under high load at low revs (higher gears), I know I'm running lean but just thought I'd double check the timing as well. Base timing was at 20 deg so I reset to 15 deg. By trial and error I've found that I can tighten the top and bottom bolts of the CAS without affecting the timing but tightening the middle bolt causes timing to advance by 5 deg. The CAS doesn't move at all when tightening the bolts. Not sure why this is?! Perhaps it's not on straight?? Not sure how this would be possible though considering it sits on a gear and inside the cylinder head housing. It looks straight enough. Time for a new unit?? BTW, just fitted …

Hi Guys, I am looking to run a subwoofer and to do that i need to run the power cable to the sub, what the best place in the firewall to run a cable through? It is my first time so bare with me on this one. Any advice would be great!! :)

I am in the process of trying to get the HICAS on my car back up and running. Fuse had been taken out by previous owner which I have now put back in. When trying to put into diagnostic mode, having a lot of trouble. In the manual I have, it states that only European models have the HICAS light, is this correct? I have the dash with no turbo gauge. Anyway, aside from this I can only assume that the steering wheel boss is not HICAS compatible but wondered whether there was anything else to try or how to check before I just order a new one?

I've been behind the stereo and as far as I'm aware I haven't moved/changed any wiring. When I lock the car with the fob it gives a long continuous beep. I know it does this when a door is left open (physically). I've noticed that my passenger door has suddenly decided it doesn't lock with the alarm fob or when locking it with the drivers door. I haven't a clue what's going on here and don't really want to leave my car open all night. Can anyone help?

Ok I have just got some new targa top and door seals and don't have a scooby on how to takethe old ones off and the new ones on anyone got any tips or advice for me please :)

Why does everything I ever need to get to have to be a PITA!!!!!!! Had to change my headlight fuse and now my back , neck and arm hurt from just twisting in to reach the cover :mad2:

Wheres a good place to purchase a set of plugs and oil filter, and what oil is everyone reccomending on the full change? Im running 14.5psi off stock (boost controller) so i think thats the PFR6B-11B plug?? appreciate pointing in the right direction, opie appears expensive at the moment compared to others online.

After i installed a chip to ecu. Few days later my engine I start to feel lag between 2-3k rpm the rest of power is ok. Power is coming stops and starts to run again soon hits over 3000 revs. Is this could be my chip error or is it something else. Also i think I am running little bit to reach because some time my exhaust shoots the sound on just 4k rpm. Can it be my o2 sensors?
