Hi all, Another problem i came across today is that my newly installed boost controller has stopped working. I bought it a few years back but have only recently installed it. It was installed a few weeks back and was coming on and working fine. Its power supply is fed from the ECU harness but after doing a few more soldering and wiring to various other parts on the dash it has seemed to have lost power. Does anyone know if they have an inline fuse anywhere? or does the ECU harness is fused? im hoping its either a fuse or a cable fault somewhere from when my mate has been doing other wiring. Any ideas?

Ok people before i do this i thought id run it past you guys and see what you think? Im running a stand alone ECU that uses a MAP sensor instead of a MAF. In my build ive had to make custom pipe work up to and from the turbos! The plastic air filter inlet has a pipe where you normally connect the idle control pipe to....Instead of going to the trouble of drilling, cutting and welding an adaptor to my new pipework im thinking of just running a little oil filter to the inlet of the idle control valve. The air drawn in will still be filtered and the valve will still be able to function the same as before. Im sure the AEM ecu doesnt need as much data signals …

Hi, Which induction kits/air filters are you guys using? what is best a dual one or a single one? cheers mark

My car was a uk TT auto but the guy I bought it off changed it too a manual, is there a difference between the turbos from a auto to the maunal and does it make a difference? cheers Mark

Hi All I recently acquired a 300zx non turbo auto 1990 on a swop. Since then the car has developed a problem – third gear is now Missing In Action,:detective: it just slips.Oil and levels are good. I don’t really want to go down to manwell conversion route. So has anyone got any suggestions as to what could be wrong and where to start looking? Jooles

I've booked the Zed in for a Rolling Road session wednesday morning. Not a tune, just a power run as the Zed's running spot on at the min. Just looking for some tips and advice, anything i should/shouldnt do before i get there? I've just had the oil changed, so no worries there and i know i should run it on the fuel i usually use to give a true reading, so a full tank of the Momentum. Anything else? Also, what sort of power should i be looking for with the following specs:- 3" straight thru exhaust with decat Greddy twin mushroom induction chipped ecu 0.9bar (14psi ??) boost HKS Super SQV II BOV's I'll be happy with anything over 300 bhp a…

something ive been thinking about doing for a long time . this is the first working model . still quite a bit of fettling to get it 100% .

where do you ge them from? i need an awesome oil cooler and sandwich plate to fit it, any ideas as to where to get them from?

Im sure there must be a "how to" on this? Ive done a search but cant seem to find one, does anybody know where I can find info on changing these? Thanks, Dan

Couple of my cars are getting mould inside where im not using them very much. Any tips to stop mould?

are these what I need to sort out the play? Both wheels, and also how much are the track rod ends? Can't seem to find a rough price anywhere, as mine has play in both joint on one side, and one joint on the other, so may as well change all 4.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-REAR-INNER-TIE-ROD-END-NISSAN-300ZX-89-95-4-WHEEL-/320483876589?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4a9e53deed

and i must admit i really like them , got them done by this place http://www.litefabsandcoatings.co.uk :thumbup: They should look nice with black nuts and i might do the centre caps black as well .

Well, that time of the year seems to be hear again and I have got my tinkering mojo back so I thought i'd put up some updates on a few new projects. the first one is to replace the rubbish temp gauge without having lots of extra pod stuck all over the place. So - rip the old one out!!! This very easy and there are only a few screws holding it it. Most aftermarket 60mm gauges will fit in the hole quite neatly. I have managed to source a gauge that gives me water temp, exhaust temp and boost all in one. Not cheap at £180 but it is 3 gauges in one. I have managed to match it to my the standard dash colours and even the orientation of the needle at re…

Hi went to santa pod today my car managed 13.57 it only had 2 runs as i was paranoid about it blowing up or clutch slipping or something, i dont think its that modded exaust, filter,stage 1 turbos and JWT ecu im sure that time could be improved upon but not willing to risk it.

Hi, As above - no battery at the moment but need to push the car around - how can I disengage the park lock on the auto box so i can put her in Neutral guys? :censored:

I guess the previous owner did it, as it's keyless entry only. batter died in the last week... so had to jump it this a.m. works well.

only blasts around Bracknell, Wokingham, Maidenhead back roads... but running pretty damn sweet. super-tight ride. can't wait to get it on a track....

Can this be done by anyone capable of wielding a torque wrench, or is it best left to specialists ?

well it looks like this :-) http://www.influx.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/ferrari-f40.jpg from the back and side, it looks like an f40 on the road mate, except obvioulsy the door vents.

Hi. A welder has just out in my rear screen. I now need to sort a replacement. (just for fun-Autoglass = £2100 for bronze or £1200 for blue) Does anyone have any perpex options? (I would prefer this) or by luck is there someone with a spare rear screen (or hatch I suppose) going? fingers crossed.

Time for a facelift! Rather than ring round the dealers and coppin' attitude, it made sense to ask my fellow members. Are there aftermarket seats that'll bolt right in keeping the, (electrical), adjustments for the driver?
