02 sensor checking
Is your car Jap or UK,Both can suffer but Uks tend to more,the fuel tanks rust causing fuel leaks,just a thought.

02 sensor checking
If you unplug an 02 sensor the default setting for the ecu will be to run that bank rich for engine safety so it will use more fuel.why do you think its using to much fuel though?

Power Steering Hoses
Im pretty sure Zedworld do these second hand and repaired ones with new pipe swaged on.

hitting flat spot
Those look like Nitrous pipes going to the boost hoses.It can be an engine killer if not used sensibly.It may explain your oil smell.

what injectors?
i didnt say the power was bullshit did i ?? im saying that any car that has a tub capable of running 28psi wont be doing it on stock injectors unless they have a huge flow rate to begin with,STI,s run 555 iirc and i have never heard of anyone running pressures that high on those flow rates,thats 740cc + material.
-
what injectors?
Thats prolly pub talk im afraid,any car that has a tub that can run 22psi and is safe at 28psi would need a bit more than a fuel pressure increase on stock injectors.An upgraded fpr is pointless in most cases,its seen as the must have performance fuel item when more often than not its not needed,its prolly does more harm than good in most cases,uprated fuel pressure can slow injector opening due to the pressure exerted on the pintle.

4 years since I last drove my Z :(
Jeez whats up with it bud,i get pissed off after a couple of months if i sorn it.
-
what injectors?
Checked to see what the air fuel ratio is under max boost,if the tuner advises its lean youll know a higher flow rate of injector will be needed.
-
what injectors?
If your running stock or mildly upgraded turbos stock injectors will be fine for that boost pressure.If your worried get the car dyno ran and checked.

How do you stop yourself?
Ok mate,whenever your ready,Some port work,pair of big tubs and manifolds,some high flow injectors,jobs a good un.

MOT Advice - tailgate with spoiler mounting holes
Im afraid this true and any garage that fails a sharp edge otherwise is operating outside of Vosa,s testing guidelines and should be brought to book,unless of course you know better,your garage guys need some training by the sounds of it as it sounds like they and you are not sure of the correct Mot standard required.Vosa do offer courses and id strongly suggest you and your guys enrol so you dont waste anymore of your customers money with work done that wasnt needed.You need to familiarise yourself with the testers manual before spouting myths about testing,i expect you still think your clever to remove the bold spare tyre so a car wont fail or the "if its fitted it must work" load of shit ffs.

MOT Advice - tailgate with spoiler mounting holes
as Paul c has already stated,a jagged edge is not a fail UNLESS its caused by damage or corrosion.if its not you CANT fail it.and that is gospel.It doesnt matter how sharp any protrusion is on the car if its outside the failure criteria.
-
Help, car won't start.
Code 21 can relate to a ptu failure or a bad connection in the ignition amplifier circuit.I wouldnt just wade in and change it though.THe reason ptu,s fail is because the fine wire links inside fracture,when the ptu warms up with the engine running the expansion causes the fracture to expand causing an open circuit,car cools down and a connection is made again.

Manual conversion checlk list confirm please
Loop the box pipes it will be fine,youll need a manual balance bar for the engine also iirc.

Anyone run with GT 525 and stock injectors?
I built Joely p,s car with that set up and at stock boost with stock injectors he ran 369 fwhp and was made up with the result.you will NOT be able to run any higher boost though without increasing injector flow rate.

student protests
^^^^ I have to agree,Im not sure either why i should cough for someone else to get educated to an extent where they can possibly earn 3 figures ?? In my mind thats like asking other people to have paid for my Lgv driving lessons.Uni is seen as bimble by a lot of students who take up Drama and Art or Media studies as a total wheeze,If it aint free youll wean out the dross and work shy imho.
