plenum grinding to fit 360 fuel rail info ?
if you get a 95 plenum the grinding isnt needed.Youll need a die grinder otherwise with a carbide bit.Thats what i use anyway.

Rear Subframe bushes
Unless your really wanting new bushes then locking collars are the way to go,simple to fit and way cheaper.Its very rare for vehicles to have bushes where the subframe meets the body,i can only guess Nissan were looking for comfort when they designed it that way.Youll not even notice the difference if im honest when the collars are fitted apart from the loose feel at the rear will be gone.

Valve stem seal replacement...
The hardest part will be compressing the valves,youll need to make a tool up to do it,i used to do many cars years ago like this but they were much easier to work on than a 300zx.

No boost
im afraid its not good news,as the turbos pressure is equalised in the plenum by the balance bar you have one turbo trying to feed 6 cylinders hence the 0 reading,And the fact its been standing points to a seized turbo even more so.To ascertain which one cable tie a rubber glove on the outlet pipe from each turbo and start the car and rev it slightly.If it balloons its boosting and if not its seized.

EU: Leave or Remain
Id like out too be honest,we are an Island and have our own ways of doing things,i dont like the fact decisions are made by people who dont understand our culture and way of life.And i certainly dont like propping up countries who lied to get into Europe for subsidies.Talks today of raising again the retirement age to 75,In Greece its 52 !!! and they want bailouts from us,crazy !!

ohms test your injectors,14 is the correct reading,if its over the pintle doesnt lift correctly and the spray pattern is compromised causing smoking,more apparent at idle.

Boost Leak test
if a tyre has a puncture it will still inflate to its working pressure so the fact your car makes 15 tells me its probaly the ebc install or set up Vig.

1999 TT £10.000 Pistonheads
The last time i saw this car was 3 yrs ago at a Dyno shoot out at Power Station which has now closed,I was expecting to get hammered by it and it made 40hp less than my 480hp when i knew it had done 500 + previous,it had a few issues and ive no idea if they were fixed so buyer beware.

Erratic Idle
maf can be left to dry and a shield of some sort can help the issue if it is that,They came with a shield behind the bumper from new but many have been removed over the years.

Erratic Idle
damp weather and performance filters can often be a problem for maf sensors,unplug the maf and see how it idles after,its a very easy well to tell if it is the issue.
