  1. Im back Monday ,dont want too but do also.Aint it boring at home.Ive been climbing the walls.Anyone else feel like this?
  2. As boost is raised the gap should me made smaller.As smithy said that is a cold plug and you may get fouling when your not nailing the car.
  3. My 2ps worth is the more features the alarm has the more chance you have of it going wrong.Thats why i opted for the Toad ai606.Straight forward and IMHO a good alarm.Cat 1 also if your insurance requires it.Remote start is great if your 17 and want to impress your mates in the Mcdonalds car park .
  4. Under cold start conditions fuelling is increased.As the car is only idling it cant burn the rich mixture fully so the bores get washed by fuel.Bore washing is when the oil on the bores which is whipped up by the crank gets washed away causing wear and glazing.This applies to all petrol vehicles turbo or non turbo.If you read any owners manual it will state the vehicle should be driven straight away and brought up to temperature gently.
  5. What doesnt help in the states is a lot of drugs can be found in prepared medications.iirc you can still get Amphetamine based diet drugs and anti depressants with Ecstasy in.All banned over here years ago.
  6. You wont love it when the engines died.That is one of the worst things you can do to a car.Your bores will glaze up in time and it will lose compression.
  7. Worn hicas inner joint probaly.Was the old tyre worn more on the inside.Its a good giveaway sometimes that the joint needs replacing.
  8. Prolly brought on by a massive binge on cocaine causing palpatations.Thats the usual cause when celebs die young like that.Shame whatever caused her death.
  9. Had a great time.many thanks Jeff,Jamie and Lynda for being such good hosts.
  10. If it turns over slow and all the engines earths are good and the battery is a good un,its the starter .The 1.8 engines can suffer with lazy starters.Diesels which have indirect injection need to turn over at a good speed to create heat which they rely on to start.To check for a bad earth run a jump lead from the battery negative to the engines lifting eye,if it flies over youve sussed it.Check your earths and the main connection at your starter.
  11. o2 sensors wouldnt cause the problem your having.it will be something else.Carry out the checks Jeff mentioned first,You could unplug both o2 sensors and it would not make it backfire.
  12. Have a good Birthday Paul.Happy returns bud :happybday:
  13. As the pressure climbs though it can overcome the spring in the actuator and blow the gate off its seat releasing the pressure.
  14. Hi Bud,to answer your question mate imho id stick with the vg30.The conversion costs could be put towards bomb proofing it.The rb suffers from pretty much the same probs as the vg anyway.The only downside about the vg30 is the cost of fitting two tubs.Thats why people fit rb,s as you have lots of room to whack a huge single tub on there.The downside of rb tuning is that high spec parts are not abundant in the US like vg parts so the cost will be higher.
  15. You dont think maybe the fact it prolly wasnt done right in the first place may have had some bearing on that :rolleyes:
  16. My rare items are the Regamaster forged wheels.uber light and highly sought after in the right circles so im told.
  17. Yeh Pickering you knob,where you been lately.that red zed still a peach?
  18. Same solenoid but the connector wiring is different.the drivers side is short compared the drivers.
  19. Bit off topic here but i was told that help the heroes doesnt really help anyone but the people creaming money off out of it.Apparently only about 7p out of a pound is left after admin,making the wristbands etc is payed for.Can anyone confirm this?
  20. Prefer that to after burner or ferrari style rear ends.Still not my cuppa though.
  21. Id drive it.Thats one of those crazy cars if money wasnt an issue youd have in the garage for Sunday Blasts.
  22. The gt28rs is a great choice and suited to the 300zx.The gt535s or jwt530 bb is also a very good turbo with very aggressive low down spooling and more than capable of 500hp.
  23. As soon as she even hints bud about driving yer motor get it down and we can get it fitted. If you like we could disconnect the booster circuit to make the clutch real heavy also :D
  24. Firstly if you know someone with a consult see what the AAC valve value is at idle with the engine warmed up.it should be no more than 25% iirc.If it is it will be compensating for some other issue like an air leak.The car may not be reading the g/box neutral switch also which will make it rev high.
