i think you have to subscribe to edit, not sure tho.

Had same problems on mine so maybe this might help; - PTU - EFI Wiring Loom and connectors - Spark Plugs - Temp Sender units possibly - o2 sensors? - MAF?

http://www.elephant.co.uk are very good for high power cars and young drivers, also they dont mind mods.

slide them all the way to the front of the car. You could slide them back and forth working some oil underneath to loosen them if you need to, but they are very easy when warm.

ok thats good as i now have some fitted to the outer pipes, was doing some research and came across the statement which i quoted in the first post. This quote alarmed me and i wanted to check to make sure they dont cause any long term damage by being on the outer pipes. Fitting them in any location is not a problem for me, i prefer the engine bay for show reasons, just wanted opinions. Seems that many respectible tuning companies fit them to the outer pipes no problems, and even have some problems with them on the upper pipes as smithy said. "...bottom 2 hoses is crap because when your throttle bodies close all that air then get's forced back through the intercoolers into the outlet pipe from the turbo before it's dumped..." "...but you may as well not have dump valves for all the good it does..." "...When your back on the throttle all that air has to then be re-accelerated again causing Major Lag!..." This is what led me to ask you all, and to sum up, many people have found this NOT to be a problem, including large tuning companies. So these statements dont hold water, and this is not a problem location.

Rather than spending £15 each on the two filters every time you service why not spend a one time £70-£80 and fit an A'Pexi cone filter, not only does it free up power, improves sound, it also saves you money in the long run.

Is there truth in what the man speaks? EVERY zed i have seen has them on the bottom hoses.

anyone else want some? maybe combine an order?

how much did you use in total? its one of those things that you never really know till you start the job.

Been looking at Bentley-Harris ConvoShield for a bit of enhancement. http://cableorganizer.com/convoshield/ seem to be the only stockist. And that is a picture of Bee Gee Vinz's engine bay on their site, did you get a prototype discount?!?? Are there any uk stockists and what did you think of the finished product, tacky or not? http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/vbgarage.php?do=getimage&id=254 http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=538912 is another example.

this one doesnt seem to have a seal which i would have thought would be important :nono:

http://cgi.ebay.ie/Raid-Hp-M20-Oil-...5QQcmdZViewItem i am thinking of ordering one of these as mentioned above. Does anyone have the size for Nissan so i can get the right one? Also has anyone had any experience with these, is this fleabay one going to be acceptable?

any update on this? thinking about doing the same, mine stopped working this weekend.

The pouring rain in the morning meant i couldnt finish the EFI wiring loom till about 3pm. Thanks for the PTU Legrath, arrived this morning and fitted with new loom, car runs perfect!

5mins up the road from me too, hopefully ill be there too.

http://www.mindserv.co.uk/loom_replacement.htm this is a good link i have found, i am replacing the EFI loom this weekend so ill be able to give you some pointers later on.

are they new and have you still got these mate? if so im interested :)

by the way do you know Alexis at Saab? I think i may have met you before sometime.

would be really great if you could mate, this problem is driving me up the wall! thanks a lot for the offer. Im seriously hoping that its just the PTU so plugging a known good one in should help me out a lot. I have tomorrow (monday) off if this helps, when is good for you, again thanks!

you will need one resistor on the red wire. >> Supply is 12v >> if the blue LED drops 3.6v you need a resistor to drop the other 8.4v >> LED's require a current of about 0.02A >> a 0.02A (20mA) current in the LED will be the same current in the resistor >> Voltage = Current x Resistance >> Resistance = Voltage / Current >> Resistance of resistor needed = 8.4/0.02 = 420 ohms >> Go for a little higher and make your LED last longer >> SO : about 450 ohms. >> if needed: Power = Current x Voltage >> Wattage of resistor needed = 0.168 watts ........ However im gonna stop there cos the red led wouldn't be there without a resistor already so im 99% sure you can just swap them over, just put it in the right way round, the legs on the LED should be a different length indicating +'ve and -'ve.

When i bought the car it had only 3/5 on the OSF and 4/5 on the NSR. Its ok to drive but i wouldnt advise long journeys or hard driving. New studs are pretty easy to do on your drive if you HAVE cacked the thread, i'm doing the 3 tomorrow. Remove the wheel, caliper and disc and gently knock the bolt out of the hub making sure to align the indent in the hub casing with the bolt. When replacing remember to align the splines before knocking it in. Front and rear bolts are different so make sure you get the right ones. My two front were easy to get, but the rear had to come from Japan :(

btw i notice you are in gloucester, you dont have a spare PTU lying around do you? :) (I cant find how to check continuity to be sure mine is nackered so im after one to buy/borrow off somebody.)

nice :)
